The defeat of the Ukrainian army in Avadiivka is a foregone conclusion, and how to make up for it has become the focus of attention of the Ukrainian military. Among them, the investment of the 3rd Assault Brigade of the Azov Department in Avadiivka has attracted widespread attention. The Ukrainian military and the 3rd Azov Brigade itself are largely in agreement that the brigade entered Avadiivka in order to assist in the retreat of the urban troops. According to the information currently available, the 3rd Azov Assault Brigade has reached Avadiivka at least in the first week of February. The fact that the first victim of the 3rd Azov Brigade has been confirmed was on 8 February, indicates that the brigade had been deployed in the theater of operations before that. What was the situation then? Units of the 114th Motorized Infantry Brigade of the 114th Donetsk Army and the Central Military District have just hit the central city from the north of the Blue Lake. At this time, it is clear that the situation in Avadiivka is not irreparable, and even leaders like Zelensky and Syrsky, who are obsessed with fighting for every inch of land, may not order the withdrawal of troops.
And if the only task of the 3rd Assault Brigade of the Azov Department is to respond to the retreat, then why not? Despite the attempts of the Ukrainian army to retreat, the defense near the positions of the former air defense battalion could no longer hold up. Previous intelligence indicated that the 3rd Azov Assault Brigade was located in the coking plant area in the north, and even troops along the industrial boulevard to the railway station area to the south. And this area happens to be the direction of attack of the Russian assault cluster, so the 3rd Brigade of the Azov Department did engage the Russian army, but it was on the side that was passively beaten. There was even a company commander who was captured by the Russian army in the area of the railway station, and according to him, after the failure of the counterattack, only a dozen people remained. Although the 3rd Azov Brigade claimed to have achieved combat superiority, its deputy brigade commander also revealed various difficulties in the field hospital**. The Russian army's massive use of gliding guided bombs is the key to the Ukrainian army's resistance, and the number of bombs dropped even reached more than 200 per day.
The strong fortifications of the Ukrainian army in Avadiivka are generally resistant to shells of a general caliber, but are helpless against extremely powerful aerial bombs. In the past, the Russian army only used this ammunition in small quantities, perhaps only a few per day, and the Ukrainian army could generally resist it. If you throw dozens or even hundreds of them a day for several days, then who can afford it? The main defense of Avadiivka was the 110th Mechanized Infantry Brigade, which, in the early stages of the battle, relied on its inherent positions and destroyed a large number of Russian armored vehicles. But by the end of the battle, the 110th Brigade could no longer issue small **, and the entire brigade was bombed with anxiety. The real task of the 3rd Azov Brigade is to oversee the defenders of Avadiivka and try to push the Russians back. The headquarters of the Ukrainian army, recognizing that the situation in Avadiivka is not optimistic, has strengthened the combat power of the 3rd brigade of Azov, and strengthened the special forces of the *** Directorate and the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense to assist the 3rd brigade. The real task of this group of reinforcements was to maintain the stability of the defenders in the city and try to repel the Russians. When the Ukrainian army judged that the situation in Avadiivka was irretrievable, it suddenly issued an order to withdraw troops.
In this regard, the outside world speculates that this is to organize methodically before the collapse. Because the Ukrainian army in the city has collapsed, but it has not completely collapsed, and there is still time to withdraw to regain some face. If it is a subjective withdrawal, it must be organized. Even if the order is not given, the Ukrainian army in the city will face collapse, and the defeat will be more complete at that time. The headquarters quickly issued an order to withdraw troops, and although the losses were already not small, they were still able to retain some dignity. The defeat of the Ukrainian army in Avadiivka began not only after the order for the withdrawal of troops from Syrsky, but before that. Now almost the entire urban area of Avadiivka is controlled by the Russian army. Although some remnants remained in the city, it was almost certain that the Russians had won. Although the Ukrainian army has concealed something, it can be seen from the information released by the Russian side that the situation is already quite serious. A large part of the city of Avadiivka has been occupied by the Russian army, and their flags have been planted in various important places, which clearly shows the scope of the Russian army's control.
About the performance of the Ukrainian army on the battlefield, some information has now surfaced. According to reports, the 110th Mechanized Infantry Brigade showed strong combat effectiveness in the early stages of the battle, destroying many Russian armored vehicles, but as the battle continued, they also began to receive heavy artillery fire, morale was frustrated, and their combat effectiveness dropped sharply. In this case, even the special forces of the Ukrainian army have not been able to turn the tide, and the situation is deteriorating day by day for the Ukrainian army.
The fighting in Avadiivka has been going on for several days, and the ** and losses of the Ukrainian army are self-evident. Despite the fact that the headquarters of the Ukrainian army is trying to maintain a blockade of information, there have been numerous reports pointing to the staggering number of the Ukrainian army. In such fierce battles, the losses of the Ukrainian army were undoubtedly heavy, which also aggravated the unfavorable situation of the war situation.
In this context, the decision-making of Ukraine** is particularly crucial. Zelensky and Syrsky were faced with such a dire situation not long after they took office, and timely and wise decisions were needed. And the issuance of the withdrawal order, although to some extent to preserve the remnants of the Ukrainian army, also exposed the rout of the Ukrainian army in Avadiivka, which will become a major political and military challenge.
For Ukraine, the defeat at Avadiivka means an even tougher one. They must reassess their military strategy and find effective ways to respond to Russian military operations. At the same time, the international community will also express concern about the situation in Ukraine, especially those Western countries that support Ukraine.
The fighting in Avadiivka will have far-reaching consequences for Ukraine and the region as a whole. Ukraine needs to remain calm and determined, take appropriate measures to meet the current challenges, and continue to fight for its national interests and territorial integrity.
