Russians continue their offensive in the Avdiivka area, moving towards the city from two directions. Experts believe that there is no more than a week left before they are completely encircled.
Analyzing open data, BILD expert Julian Röpke writes about the critical situation in the city center. According to him, the occupants are about 200 meters away from one of the last supply routes for the Ukrainian armed forces.
The expert noted that there is another way leading to the settlement - near the village of Severnoye, but even there the Russian Armed Forces are at a distance of "hundreds of meters".
"If these routes are cut, the city will be surrounded and fall. This is not yet the case, but some assume that this is days or weeks away," Röpke writes.
The analyst explains, Russia's success in this area is due to its quantitative advantage, which is about five to one. In addition, the Russian Federation also dominates in aerial combat. The city is regularly attacked with FAB-500, FAB-1000, and FAB-1500 high-explosive bombs.
According to BILD, Ukraine faces a shortage of air defense assets to repel attacks effectively.
"The Ukrainian armed forces also lack soldiers on the ground, so often only drones operate against advancing groups of Russian infantry," BILD.
