On February 17 local time, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Syrsky, announced that they had withdrawn from Avdeyevka, a key town in the Donetsk region. This news caused shock and concern in the international community in a short period of time. Only the day before, Ukraine also announced the sending of the Azov Brigade and strategic reserves to reinforcements to defend Avvadiivka. 
However, the sudden retreat of the Ukrainian army caught him off guard. The United States also expressed concern, and spokesman Kirby publicly stated that the situation in Avvadiivka is very critical and may be controlled by Russia at any time. Despite the shock and apprehension of the United States, they cannot change the current situation. The fighting in Avvadiivka is extremely fierce, and the new Ukrainian commander-in-chief goes on the offensive at all costs, giving the Russian army the opportunity to encircle and annihilate the Azov Brigade. The latest news shows that the Ukrainian army has encountered strong resistance in the battle in Avvadiivka and has begun to retreat. While part of the Ukrainian army was successfully evacuated, some were still trapped, including Ukraine's most elite Azov Brigade. As soon as the new commander-in-chief of Ukraine took office, he saw Avvadiivka as a key place to obtain military exploits and made it an important strategic location. According to information from the front, the fighting in Avvadivka was extremely fierce and became the second ** Mut battlefield, and the battlefield was drenched in blood. The new commander-in-chief of Ukraine did not hesitate to mobilize his forces, demonstrating his determination to hold Avvadiivka at all costs. His bloody strategy to the end caused great annoyance to the Russian army, and also caused the Russian army to pay a heavy price. However, the offensive of the new commander-in-chief of Ukraine at any cost also provides the Russian army with an opportunity to encircle and annihilate the Azov Brigade. 
The 3rd Ukrainian Azov Brigade was ordered to Avvadiivka with important reinforcement and retreat cover tasks. According to reports, the Ukrainian army was in a passive position in this battle, and the 3rd Azov Brigade first took on the task of reinforcing the defense, which was subsequently adjusted to cover the retreat of the local Ukrainian army. The 3rd Azov Brigade was mainly adapted from the Azov Battalion, which was the most resolute against Russia on the battlefield in Ukraine. The Azov Battalion is notorious for its ferocious fighting style and eclectic approach to combat. In the previous battle of the steel plant, the Azov battalion caused great distress to the Russian army, and although Russia eventually captured the steel plant and captured a large number of Azov battalion soldiers, it also paid a huge price. Recognizing the importance of the Azov Battalion, Ukraine expanded the Azov Brigade after the battle at the steel plant, forming the current 3rd Azov Brigade. In Avvadiivka, the Russian army also sent a specialized blocking brigade, whose priority is to stop the 3rd Azov Brigade of the Ukrainian army in order to prevent it from reinforcing Avvadiivka. This blocking battle was extremely fierce, and the Russian blocking brigade also paid a heavy price. According to reports, the Russian soldiers who participated in the Khorivka blockade described in a paragraph: "There are corpses everywhere, they are all our compatriots. "It's a war, but it's ......It's like a meat grinder. This passage vividly shows the brutality of the battle. Specific data shows that 70% of the 4,000 soldiers** in the Russian army's blocking brigade are still fighting. 
Despite the difficult fighting, both the Ukrainian Azov Brigade and the Russian Blocking Brigade showed tenacious will and courage. The battle will be a serious test for both sides, and the outcome of the resistance battle will directly affect the fate of Avvadiivka. On the battlefield of Avvadiivka, the stubborn resistance of the Russian blocking forces has aroused widespread international attention. According to international practice, a unit usually loses its combat effectiveness when it suffers 30% battle losses, however, the Russian blocking force has reached 70% of the battle losses and is still holding on to the battle, which is very similar to the historical Tashan blocking battle. Under this stubborn resistance, the reinforcement of the Ukrainian Azov Brigade was seriously hampered and could not play its due role. The Russian army has successfully encircled the strongholds of Zenit and Chebrashka, cutting off important supply lines for the Ukrainian army. What's more, the Russian army successfully blocked the Ukrainian Azov Brigade and subsequently surrounded the unit and began to encircle and annihilate it. In this battle, the Ukrainian Azov Brigade suffered huge losses, especially in the open battlefield under heavy fire from Russian artillery, which led to ** heavy losses. The deputy commander of the 3rd Azov Assault Brigade of Ukraine said that "we carry out combat missions in unimaginable conditions, not only against a large number of enemy forces, but also against threats from all sides." "It is reported that the Russian army has concentrated more than twice its forces on the encirclement of the Azov Brigade, which has put the Azov Brigade in crisis and has to fight to break through. **10,000 Fans Incentive Plan The development of this situation has forced the United States, the West and Ukraine to adjust their strategic thinking. The encounter with the Azov Brigade also reminds Ukraine that it has become very difficult to continue large-scale frontal operations with the Russian army taking the initiative. Therefore, NATO and Ukraine began to use a sustained war of attrition as the main mode of warfare. NATO Secretary General announced that it would provide Ukraine with aid of 1 million drones in 2024, which is clearly supporting Ukraine in its ongoing war of attrition. In addition, NATO plans to establish a large joint NATO-Ukraine center in Bydgoszcz, Poland, to further strengthen cooperation. Judging from the layout of NATO and Ukraine, Ukraine has begun to change its operational thinking, turning a frontal offensive into an asymmetric operation. This shows that the United States and the West hope to achieve the goal of crushing Russia by consuming Russia, but at the same time, they have also exposed their sinister intentions.
