As of February 16, the number of Russian troops killed has exceeded 400,000, and according to the ratio of the war to 3:1, the total number is probably more than one million ......But the Russians, who love the land immensely, have not the slightest intention of withdrawing from the army.
In this regard, the Russians are more persistent than the Americans, and the United States fell out at home with more than 50,000 people killed in the Korean War and the Vietnam War.
As of February 17, the fiercest fighting on the Russian-Ukrainian front line is still the Avdiivka battlefield.
The 3rd Independent Assault Brigade of Ukraine and the 6th Defense Brigade and the 47th Mechanized Infantry Brigade of Ukraine, which had come to cover the retreat, alternately covered the retreating positions of the 6th Ukrainian Defense Brigade and the 47th Mechanized Infantry Brigade that had not yet been withdrawn.
The Russian army, with 50 people as a combat unit, constantly launched a sea of people charge under the cover of guided bombs, but under the long-range artillery fire of the Ukrainian army and various light and heavy strikes, 3 brigades have been disabled.
According to the ** text released by Russian soldiers, the number of casualties in brigade-level combat units of 4,000 people is as high as 2,700 people, 70%.
The fighting in Avdiivka is even more tragic than the previous ** Muth, and the Russian army has been fighting from 2014 to the present, and has not taken this outlying 39 square kilometers in 9 yearsThe town of 6 square kilometers has a ...... combat power
In the early morning of the 16th local time, the Ukrainian National News Agency quoted Tarnavsky, commander of the Ukrainian army's "Tavria" combat group, as of 23 o'clock local time on the 16th, there was still fierce fighting in Avdevka, the situation was difficult, but it was under control, and the defensive operations of the Ukrainian army in Avdevka continued to ......
News from the Russian Ministry of Defense: On the evening of the 16th, the 1st Slavic Brigade of the Donetsk militia of the Russian army announced that it had taken control of the important Zenit defensive fortress south of Avdiivka.
The battle in Jeffdivka continues in blood and corpses, and both sides turn all kinds of scythes such as heavy artillery, machine guns, tanks, and bazookas into death, desperately reaping enemy lives.
The Russian army has an absolute superiority in strength, with 7 times the strength of the Ukrainian army, and the reason why it is so difficult to fight is mainly because the elite veterans have basically finished fighting, and the mobilized soldiers do not have much combat effectiveness at all, so the death exchange ratio between the two sides has reached an astonishing 13:1 (average). That is, for every Ukrainian soldier sacrificed, 13 Russians died.
Personally, I believe that after the ammunition assistance does not arrive, Syrsky will not limit the war to retreat, and it is very likely that he will carry out counter-encirclement of key areas, and even have larger plans and actions, and the temporary strategic retreat is to prepare for the next strategic offensive.
* In the Mutter region, the Russian army advanced along the T0504 road, approaching the entrance to the settlement of Ivanivsk, west of Mutter, and also entered the cemetery northwest of Mutter.
In the direction of Kryshchivka and Ivanivsk, the fighting between the Russian army and the Ukrainian army was equally fierce, and the Ukrainian army dispatched Mi-17B-5 and Mi-8MT*** to participate in the battle, violently striking at the ground forces of the Russian army and supporting the Ukrainian army in the **mut battle.
In the Zaporozhye region, the Russian army gathered more personnel and equipment than Avdiivka to launch an offensive in Verbove and Robotany, but they were all repelled by the Ukrainian army, but due to the lack of artillery and air support, the pressure on the Ukrainian army was great.
In the Kherson region, the Ukrainian army continued to advance in Klinki, the sniper of the Russian army was repulsed, and the area controlled by the Ukrainian army became larger and larger.
Kupyansk-Kreminna In the Lyman direction, after the Ukrainian army destroyed a large armored column of the Russian army in Sinkiivka, the Russian army immediately gathered forces to counterattack and captured a village after paying great losses.
In addition to these, the Russian side also revealed the news of the death of opposition leader Alexei N**Alny in the prison of the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug.
Navalny, 47, is a well-known opposition leader known for his opposition to Vladimir Putin, who has previously organized several demonstrations while advocating for reform of Russia's anti-corruption agencies.
In response to questions from many sides, RIA Novosti reported: Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Moscow had been informed of the ...... Navalny's deathAsked about unconfirmed reports, Peskov said the activist could have died ...... blood clots
Oh well, then cerebral thrombosis! It's the same as Prigozhin's death in a plane crash.
Demonstrations in honor of Navalny took place in major cities in Russia, and Russian police arrested people at rallies to commemorate Navalny, and large-scale clashes broke out at the scene.
The Russian-Ukrainian war has been going on for two years, and if the author's inference is not wrong, 2024 will be the year that will determine the course of the war, since the F16 has appeared at Ukrainian airfields and will soon be lifted into the air ......
