Ukraine's biggest problem is the lack of supplies, and Russia's biggest problem is Avdiivka, where there are not enough **, not enough ammunition, not enough **, not even enough manpower, and even sent artillery and other troops to the front line.

In **Mut, about 50 kilometers north of Avdiivka, the same "redistribution" was observed when the Ukrainian army defended the city last year.
According to Hrabskyi, the situation at the time had forced Ukraine to take such an "extreme approach": "The Ukrainian military] is now seeking everything possible to inflict maximum damage on the enemy in order to slow down their advance and buy them more time.
