🇷🇺 ️🇺🇦Offensive near Donetsk: the RF is conducting assaults , slowly tightening its pincers around Avdeevka ▪️In the Avdeevsky direction, Russian troops are attacking in many areas at once. In particular, operations are underway near Stepovoy, Severny, Pervomaisky, west of Kamenka, near the water treatment plant and at the industrial site (near the Vinogradniki station). ▪️The Russian Army continues its assault on Stepovoy from three sides (from the flanks to the forehead). Despite the heavy fire, ours clung to the outermost houses in the village. RF troops are trying to make a hole in the defenses of the Ukrainians, shifting attacks north and south of the village. ▪️There are battles in the direction of the railway northwest of Krasnogorovka and north of the Tochmash dacha village. ▪️Ours also continue attacks at the Avdeevsky coke plant, trying to create a bridgehead on the outskirts of the industrial zone. ▪️On the other flank of the Russian Armed Forces, attacks continue at Severny and Pervomaisky . ▪️To the northeast of Vodyanoy, positional combat operations continue in the direction of Severny and Avdeevka. Without changes. ▪️“The RF began to probe the defenses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces north of Krasnogorovka , in the direction of Ocheretino . ▪️“You need to understand that here they will strive to break through the defenses of the AFU. And all because they want to stretch the Ukrainian forces as much as possible, forcing them to react and reduce the density of troops in the direction of the main attack. Or overturn from other directions, which is also undesirable. “- write Kyiv military analysts. ▪️“The battles for the Avdeevka defense center will be more difficult, and the prospects for its maintenance remain unknown. No one can guarantee that the AFU will hold it.“ ▪️“The Russian captures of Krasnogorovka and Kamenka at the beginning of the year had a great impact on the overall balance of forces and the operational situation.“ #Source: Источник: Slavyangrad
