Brigadier General Tarnavus, commander of the Ukrainian "Tavriysk" combat group, posted on his official social platform on February 19 that in the Avdiivka direction, the Ukrainian army established a new defensive line in the areas of Xin** Mutovka, Lastochkino and Wuyi Village, and repelled the Russian attack. Occupied by Russian troopsAvdiivkaLater, it was attacked several times on the scale of a battalion companyAvdiivkaThe defensive positions in the west, after being repulsed by the Ukrainian army,AvdiivkaThe fighting in the surrounding area has largely subsided. The heaviest fighting on the line of contact between the two sides in the last 24 hours took place in the area around Maryinka; There was little change in the fronts on both sides.
As I expected in my article the day before yesterday, the Russian Ministry of Defense and Russian military bloggers collaborated in the last two days to frantically scatter Ukrainian troops fromAvdiivkaFalse news such as the rout, the capture of more than 1,500 Ukrainian troops, and the abandonment of a large number of Ukrainian wounded and Western aid equipment along the way, including false **, although I stated in advance that I should not ask for confirmation of this kind of false information, but the influence of the major portals is huge, and many people still believe in a large number of false information to me to verify the authenticity of this information.
Here I make a unified reply: aboutAvdiivkaBefore Syrsky announced the withdrawal order, more than 7,000 Ukrainian troops were successfully evacuated with equipment and wounded, and only a very small number of Ukrainian troops were captured by the Russian army, and the number was about a few dozen.
If the Russian army is as strong as they claim, it will not be able to attack in 4 monthsAvdiivka, paid the price of more than 20,000 deaths to take this small town of less than 32 square kilometers. Many people have to believe this false information, and I can't say much.
