Avdeyevkastation
Russian forces are also clearing the city and continuing to advance westward, until February 18, 2024.
Removal and removal of garbage from the city is a must, and some Ukrainian soldiers hiding in a corner of the coke plant tried to escape at night, but were intercepted by ** people.
Because the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops is chaos, the communications of various units have been cut off, and there are still some scattered Ukrainians hiding in the city. Some prisoners confessed that they knew nothing about the evacuation plan.
At the same time, the Russian Air Force and artillery launched a fierce offensive on the temporary defensive positions of Rastochkinno, Torenkoye, Severny and Orlovka in Ukraine. The Russian Air Force also dropped ODAB-1500 anti-aircraft missiles on Orlovka.
At the moment, Ukrainian soldiers fleeing from Avdeyevka are gathering in those villages and waiting for evacuation, but because the evacuation of the Ukrainian army is in chaos, they are not equipped with sufficient transportation.
The Ukrainian army will suffer a huge ** when retreating, although few can accurately estimate theirs**.
The Ukrainian army temporarily lost control of the situation, giving the ** people the opportunity to attack further, and according to initial intelligence, the Russian army occupied the village at night in the settlement of the village of Rastochino. Ukrainian troops withdrew from their positions, Russian troops began to clear the battlefield, and Ukrainian troops in Siverna also withdrew.
This means that within a day, those Russian soldiers who were supporting in the rear abandoned their defensive lines.
* The 1st Army launched an attack on Pevomeyerskoye, they passed through the village and launched an attack on the flank of Nevelskoye.
Ukrainian military analysts say Russian forces continue to advance 2 kilometers to a depth of 2 kilometers and 500 meters in the area of Domaharyan, villages east and southeast of Nevelskoye.
Zaporozhye
Just when the world's attention was focused on the rout of the Ukrainian army at Avdeyevka, the ** launched an even larger offensive in Zaporizhzhia.
In Orekhovsko, the Russian 70th Mobile Force drove the Ukrainians out of the buffer zone south of Rabotino and advanced two kilometers at night and night, took control of several major military fortresses and captured a group of prisoners.
On the night of the 18th, the ** people launched two attacks, and at 21 o'clock, the Russian army advanced 1 km in the direction of Rabotino, recaptured part of the stronghold occupied by the Ukrainian army in its attack next summer, and advanced to the west of the village.
To the northwest of Verbovoy, Russian troops also captured at least three artificial forests and knocked the Ukrainian army back to its original shape.

The Ukrainian army is actively laying mines in the area of Pyatikhatki and Shcherbakov to prevent Russian attacks on this area.
In order to ensure the security of the Rabotino area, the Ukrainian army command has prepared to send 116 reserve soldiers who have been transferred back from the rear to the battlefield, but those reserves are too far away to catch up.
At the same time, another tragedy was repeated, when 128 "regrouped" independent brigades, an explosive charge accidentally inside the MTLB carrying a bomb**, killing 20 servicemen, including 4**.
Until 0:00 on February 19, ** men were still attacking in the Rabotinsky trenches.
According to the Archangel Special Group, the Russian Airborne Forces and motorized infantry have penetrated 2 kilometers south and southeast of Rapotino.
The question now is whether the Ukrainian army can mobilize reinforcements in time to support the construction of the Labotino line. As a result of the war in the summer, the colony had been destroyed to the point of disappearance, so it was not possible to send a large number of troops for defense.
Similarly, the ** army struggled to gain a foothold in the destroyed land, and they had to continue their offensive north in search of a better defensive position after capturing the village.
In addition, the **army advanced another kilometer on the **mut plain near Bodanovka, and advanced towards Chasov Yar and along the pond towards the edge of Kra**ye (Kra**ye).
Ukrainian satellite telegraph reports: Russian troops are advancing from farms west of Ivanovsky. The distance of the advance reached 2 kilometers, the depth was 850 meters, and it is still in progress.
