It's really fast! The decisive battle for Avadiivka has entered an accelerated phase, and the Ukrainian defenders have not shown the kind of tenacity that was expected, or more precisely, their resolute resistance did not last long. The collapse of Ukraine's defenses in the town of Avadiivka accelerated as Russian forces completely cut off the Industrial Boulevard, the only exit route from the city, and the supply lines of the two dirt roads in the fields became unsustainable under the bombardment of Russian forces. After the Soviet attack on Syrsky, a suburb of Moscow, the Russian army advanced to the north of the city and occupied part of the area. The Ukrainian defenders were given permission to retreat in the southern part of the city, which Syrsky explained was to reduce ** and preserve their forces. Under the cover of night and with the support of the troops of the 3rd Assault Brigade (Azov), the remnants of the garrison of Avadiivka in Ukraine fled the encirclement in stages. In addition, considering that the route to Rastok Kane has been largely disrupted, they are considering withdrawing through the intervention of Severne.
However, when the Ukrainian army, which was divided into 10 to 15 people, tried to break through at night, they were bombarded by shelling and drones in the fields in the west, and they would also step on the mines set by the Ukrainian army themselves, and the Ukrainian troops who really managed to escape were actually rare. In the chaotic battle, the resistance of the Ukrainian army gradually weakened, and three important fortresses in the city of Avadiivka were lost one after another, and the rout of troops flocked to the western gap. Recently released war reports confirm that three of Ukraine's most critical fortified fortifications in the city of Avadiivka were all breached on the night of February 15, and a large number of routs are pouring into the western gap. The headquarters of the Ukrainian army urgently mobilized the remnants of forces in an attempt to organize an emergency counterattack in the west to prevent the Russian army from continuing south. According to war reports, when the Russian army occupied the old air defense position south of Avadiivka, Russian sources once again confirmed that the line of defense codenamed "Chebrashka" at the highway junction north of the air defense position had been replaced. The Ukrainian army was defeated and retreated, and its positions were lost. The fortress "Vinogradny" of the Ukrainian army, located north of "Chebrashka", was also successfully occupied by Russian troops. Smoke and dust filled the air, Russian flags fluttered on the positions, and the fighters who captured the fortress stood in the afterglow of victory, roaring with cries of victory. After the capture of the fortress, the Russian troops also showed the scene of their flag-planting.
Over the past 24 hours, the Ukrainian army has abandoned the Donetsk filtration station on the eastern outskirts of the city and the quarry next to the Blue Lagoon on the northern line. At the critical juncture of Avadiivka, Ukraine** issued an emergency order, calling on the militia of the whole country to rush to the front line to support. To date, Ukraine's perimeter defense line in Avadiivka has been completely destroyed, which led to the complete collapse of Ukraine's defensive structures on the northern, eastern and southern fronts in Avdiivka almost overnight. Ukrainian defenders are struggling to support themselves on the streets of the city, but lack ammunition and material support. The defeat of the Ukrainian army has caused great concern in the White House, and White House spokesman Kirby noted that the situation in Avadiivka is very tense, and the city is likely to fall under the control of the Russian army at any time due to the lack of sufficient ammunition for the Ukrainian army. The 3rd Azov Brigade approached Avadiivka, and seeing the fighting raging ahead, the iron hooves of the Russian army had already stepped into the outskirts of the city. If the defenders of Avadiivka are already in the bag, then to meet the 3rd Azov Brigade of the Ukrainian defenders is simply asking for trouble.
The 3rd Azov Brigade's first stated mission was to reinforce the Avadiivka defenses, and yesterday's statement was changed to the withdrawal of the Avadiivka defenders. But the problem is that their current situation can only be described as difficult to protect. Ukrainian insider "Rezidentua" said that no one evacuated the wounded due to lack of supplies. The Ukrainian army and its transferred reserves suffered heavy losses near Avadiivka, while the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade of the Ukrainian army, "Azov", defended in an open field, making it an easy target for Russian artillery.
In addition, Russia is encircling and eliminating the Azov Brigade with twice the size of its army. The battle was in full swing, the bullets rained down, and the officers and men of the 3rd Azov Assault Brigade fought bravely against the enemy. The deputy commander of the 3rd Azov Assault Brigade of Ukraine said in an interview with **: "Our brigade fights in an incredible environment. We are faced with enemies that are not only numerous, but also come from all sides. The intensity of the fighting in Avadiivka is several times higher than that of the fiercest **Mutter battle of the current stage. "Although the officers and men of the 3rd Azov Assault Brigade were extremely heavy, they did not back down. When entering the mission area, the two major commanders of the 3rd Sub-rate Brigade were tragically killed, and more than half of the officers and enlisted men of the rank of lieutenant were killed. However, even so, the officers and men of the 3rd Azov Assault Brigade did not flinch. If the 3rd Azov Assault Brigade continues not to evacuate, they may really be completely wiped out.
