Title: Conflict in Ukraine: The bloody battle of Avdeyevka is about to beginPreface: The battle for Avdeyevka has entered a critical moment, with Russian forces taking control of the southern industrial region and the Ukrainian army's southern defense line collapsing.
The Ukrainian army is trapped in the city and is about to face brutal street battles with the Russian army. The Ukrainian army originally deployed strong fortifications in Avdeyevka, but none of these military fortresses could stop the offensive of the Russian army.
1.Embattled, the Ukrainian army struggled ** The Russian army adopted the classic tactics of encircling the point to send reinforcements and encircling the Ukrainian army in Avdeyevka, besieging the Ukrainian army through multiple directions, leaving only a gap in the northwest for the Ukrainian army reinforcements to enter.
In order to achieve this purpose, the Russian army did not rashly start street fighting, but attracted reinforcements from the Ukrainian army into the "pocket formation", and then consumed the personnel and equipment of the Ukrainian army through artillery fire, so as to achieve positional warfare while keeping the ** as low as possible.
Although Avdeyevka is now in ruins, the Ukrainian side does not intend to give it up easily. At present, about 40 battalions of 8 brigades of the Ukrainian army are rushing to Avdeyevka with all their might, with the aim of securing the main road leading to the city from the outside world and ensuring the safety of the transportation route.
At the same time, the Russian army is trying to quickly squeeze the Ukrainian front and converge with forces from other directions.
With round after round of encounters, the front line was full of casualties.
2.Tens of thousands of Russian troops are fiercely attacking and killing, and the flames are soaring According to sources, the Russian army is engaged in a head-on conflict with the two elite units of the Ukrainian army, the 47th Brigade and the 116th Territorial Defense Brigade. Although the 47th Brigade has been severely weakened during the long battle, it still frequently sorties the remaining armored vehicles to appear in front of the Russian positions in an attempt to suppress the large-scale offensive of the Russian army.
After the Russian army captured the Avdeyevka industrial zone, the southern advance was relatively smooth. At the moment, the Russian army is regrouping its attack forces in the industrial zone, mobilizing a large number of tanks and armored vehicles, and plans to advance from south to north.
At the same time, the Russian Aerospace Forces also dropped a large number of thermobaric bombs, giant gliding bombs, and the TOS-1A flamethrower system also kept firing, the front line ** sound was deafening, the Ukrainian army's positions were in flames, wails came and went, and huge mushroom clouds continued to rise in the air. Despite the fierce offensive of the Russian army, the Russian army also paid a great price for fighting in adverse weather conditions.
According to the latest footage, the Russian army has begun to widely use unmanned vehicles to transport ammunition and supplies. The Ukrainian army has invested drones to strike Russian targets.
3.The Ukrainian army "turned from defense to offense", and a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine has become possible Recently, Ukrainian ** Zelensky hurriedly rushed to countries around the world, hoping to seek military assistance.
However, only limited aid from the United States and Norway has left the Ukrainian army frustrated.
Zelensky is desperate for EU support, and Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kuleba even said that "he will dance to get aid." But even so, it is impossible for Ukraine to get too much ** equipment, because Hungary, Slovakia and other countries have previously refused to provide military assistance to Ukraine, and even Germany has been exposed to cut aid funds.
The curtailment of military aid inevitably affected Ukraine's combat strategy, and the Ukrainian army slowed down the pace of the Ukrainian army and was forced to adopt a strategy of "turning defense into offense". Ukraine plans to build full-scale fortifications in key areas of the frontline, on the Russian-Ukrainian border and on the Ukrainian-Belarusian border.
From another point of view, the defeat of the Ukrainian army** opens up the possibility of a final ceasefire on both sides. According to expert analysis, the two sides may reach a stalemate and negotiate until one side completely breaks the deadlock, or both sides are unsustainable, and finally reach a ceasefire agreement.
Although Russia** Putin announced his candidacy for the election, and despite the fact that the conflict in Ukraine has been going on for more than a year, Putin still maintains a high approval rating, he does not need a big victory to support re-election, and maintaining the existing line of defense will not affect his election. In addition, the progress of the Russian army in recent months can be described as difficult and tragic, and once the construction of large-scale fortifications in Ukraine is completed, the offensive of the Russian army will become even more difficult, which also increases the possibility of negotiations between the two sides.
