The fighting for the Avadiivka fortress has entered a critical moment, the main supply lines in the north have been blocked by Russia, and the main roads in the city have been cut off. According to a number of *** Avadiivka Industrial Avenue has been interrupted, and replenishment can only be carried out by means of field roads. This limited supply is far from meeting the needs of the defenders, especially the isolated Ukrainian army in the south, which is facing a lack of supplies. In the last two days, the Russian army began a full-scale offensive on the southern front, flanking ground forces and further besieging the southern part of the city.
France's LCI TV reported on the latest situation in Avadiivka, describing the dilemma faced by the Ukrainian army: the recent sharp rise in Ukrainian defenders**; There are serious problems with ammunition**; The supply route in Avadiivka has been disrupted; The Ukrainian defenders were depressed and eager to retreat. The disruption of supply lines also meant the difficulty of retreating. Due to the lack of ammunition, the Ukrainian defense line was weakened, and the Russian army penetrated the eastern part of the city in two days, further cutting off the encirclement.
The Russian army issued a war report through "Telegram" saying that it had cut off the Avadiivka coking plant from the rest of the city, and thousands of Ukrainian troops were besieged. The coking plant is the most fortified place in Ukraine, with a large number of underground facilities and fortifications, similar to the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol. Tunnels in the coking plant can hide tanks and armored vehicles, and the Ukrainian army does not feel the difficulty of replenishment for the time being. Once the coking plant is lost, the defense line of Avadiivka will completely collapse.
The Ukrainian army showed tenacity in Avadiivka, inflicting heavy losses on the Russian army. According to Ukrainian military data, they destroyed 214 Russian tanks and lost only 18 of their own. In this difficult urban battle, the Ukrainian army used hidden terrain and anti-tank missiles to effectively strike at the Russian army. In such an environment, it is understandable that the Russian army has suffered large tank losses. This also highlights Ukraine's inadequacy in terms of equipment, and it is difficult for Russian armed *** and drones to find Ukrainian tanks on the battlefield.
