Battle for Avdiivka: The expert explained why the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation started large -scale contratments (video)

According to the expert, there is no point in starting a large battle for Avdiivka, when there is a problematic Zaporizhzhya region. "The triangle of Novoprokopivka - Verbovo - Ocheretuvate has not disappeared. Yes, you managed to slow down the extension, but there is no problem. There is no problem. The forces of Ukraine's defense are not stopped, and they continue to be forced. Similarly south of Bakhmut.

You can't stop Ukrainian troops, which They have already come to the left side of the railway and are already beginning their movement in the direction of the track 0513, that is, the logical artery between Bakhmut and Gorlovka, "Kovalenko said. In addition, the analyst emphasized that in addition to the problem areas on the Eastern Front, a new problem has emerged in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in recent days - the Armed Forces on the Left Bank of the occupied Kherson region.

"You have a pretty" stroke "location on the left bank of Kherson region - a large gray zone in which something happens, especially in recent days. And instead of concentrating on these locations, you start some large -scale offensive actions in the direction of Avdiivka," - added Kovalenko. In his opinion, Avdiivka needs the highest military-political leadership of Russia only for political purposes.

In particular, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation try to demonstrate that they can not only be in defense, but also go on the offensive. "And according to the plan, if the admiration of Avdiivka had taken place for the New Year, it would be a gift of Putin. And all Russian propagandists: Skabev, Kiselev and everyone else would tell you that Avdiivka is such a strategically important city that" that Kiev we are ". They worked for this, spreading this narrative, "Kovalenko suggested.

The expert noted that now Russian military and experts ask themselves - why spend resources to capture the unnecessary settlement. "But even now, the Russian troops themselves, different experts also have a question - and why was so much a resource on Avdiivka that actually decides nothing in a strategic and tactical plan when this resource could be used in other areas," Kovalenko summarized. .

We will also remind, on October 24, military analyst Alexander Kovalenko stated that Avdiivka is turning into one of the largest cemeteries for the units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
