News from Avdiivka today is disappointing: experts have confirmed the seizure by the Russian occupiers of the coke plant in the city.
According to DeepState analysts, the Russians have also seized a neighborhood of the city known as "Khimik" and also found in the building of Avdiivka city council. A fresh map of the fighting was published on Telegram.
" <...> The enemy captured the Khimik district and the Avdiivka coke plant. The enemy advanced to the east of Ternov," the experts wrote.
Since the beginning of last fall, the occupants began active attempts to seize Avdiivka. The Russians have conducted numerous assaults, resulting in significant losses in both manpower and equipment. The total number of Russian losses as of February 17, 2024, is estimated at approximately 401,350 soldiers.
Russian forces are moving forward, taking advantage of the fact that the Ukrainian defense forces are "shell starved". Information suggests that the invaders have mobilized all their reserves to storm the city, including those deployed on other parts of the front. In response, Kyiv decided to evacuate its military from the city, preferring to preserve their lives. It is now known that Ukrainian soldiers have begun to move to positions located on the second line of defense.
