The city of Avdeyevka is the northern gateway to Donetsk and one of the strongest positions of the Ukrainian army in eastern Ukraine.
The commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army, Syrsky, ordered to withdraw from here on the 17th, but the deputy commander of the third assault brigade of the Ukrainian army, Zuolin, said that this is a difficult task and difficult to carry out. On the same day, the Russian army intensified its offensive in an attempt to eliminate the main forces of the besieged Ukrainian army.
Under the arrangement of the Russian front command, we drove from the northern outskirts of Donysk into the city of Avdeyevka and marched along the Yasenovaskaya Avenue on the northern outskirts of Donitsk. We first went to the southern outskirts of Avdeyevka District 4, which is located on Tiyu Road, which is actually a few small villages in Udong. These small villages are connected to the area of the royal hunting village on the southern outskirts of Avdeyevka, where the Ukrainian army has an air defense base, which the Armed Forces of Ukraine have built into a powerful defense and fire zone, and their firepower is coordinated with each other. It was also one of the main positions for firing at the city of Donetsk for nine years. The battle of Avdeyevka is currently developing in depth, and the Ukrainian army is currently gathering at the coking plant in the northern suburbs of Avdeyevka, especially in some places in the southern suburbs, and the Ukrainian army is also holding its positions. The Ukrainian army said that the Ukrainian army has formed a posture to contain the main forces of the Russian army. Early on Saturday morning, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Alexander Schersky, announced the withdrawal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the city of Avdeyevka. Ukraine** Francie Mir Zelinsky also said that the main reasons for not being able to keep the city were insufficient Western aid and a shortage of ammunition. Russian assault forces are currently approaching the southern suburbs of the Rastochi Meridian neighborhood. The assault groups of the Russian army in the north and south directions of Avdeyevka are also converging, and the front is only about a kilometer from the meeting point. On Saturday, the Russian army also strengthened the retreat security of the blocking troops and alternately covered the advance.
Russian military experts say that the next target of the Russian army's annihilation is likely to be the current position of the Ukrainian army of the Azov Brigade, the village of Akhaus. Russian military experts say that the Russian army is currently committing more than 60,000 troops in Avdeyevka. The Russian army currently has more than 10,000 troops defending the city, half of which are in the offensive area of the coking plant in the northern suburbs. Russian military experts also analyzed that the goal of the Russian army is to completely annihilate the elite units of the Avdeyevka army and will not let the army withdraw from the city.
At present, the Armed Forces of Ukraine occupy an active defensive position at the coking plant on the northern outskirts of Avdeyevka, and the coking plant is unlikely to be abandoned by the Ukrainian army, and the Ukrainian army's Aku-built village of Akhaus will be prominent as the forward position of the coking plant, which will likely repeat the tragedy of the Yazovstal steel plant in Mari-Ubur.
