The Avdeevsky direction continues to remain one of the hottest areas of the front. Unable to squeeze defense forces from standpoint in Avdiivka, the Russians try to take the Avdi Garrison in the tick. The Colonel of the Armed Forces, military expert Roman Svitan, said more about the situation in the Apostrophe TV Apostrophe TV.
The problem of Avdiivka is that the Russians, trying to surround it, have already advanced far west - from the north and from the south. They do not only turn the ring because our artillery is seriously reinforced and has enough ammunition. Thus, our art does not allow the Russians to close these so -called ticks.
In the north, they approached the railway, which runs between the reed and north of Avdiivka. This road works as a cutting barrier, they cannot go yet. The wall of artillery fire we keep them from the north - it is the so -called "Krasnogorian language" - and from the south - in the area of Water. The entrance to the Avdi garrison is held 8-10 km wide. This is enough to supply the garrison and evacuate civilians who do not want to go from the city. It is impossible to catch people in the city.
Our troops now have enough strength and means to keep Avdiivka. Important decisions were made to strengthen the Avdi garrison. As we can see, all the attempts of the enemy to extract the forces of defense from Avdiivka have not been successful, and now they are trying in every possible way to surround the garrison. Several additional crews will be thrown in the near future, which will be translated from Kupyansk. Plus, there is an increase in ammunition. All this indicates that they will not give up offensive actions. The only thing that in the last couple of days they have reduced the use of equipment, and for two reasons.
The first - in the first two waves, a large number of equipment was knocked out. And the second - they changed tactics, returning to the use of so -called "meat shafts". With the help of infantry, the Russians try to sell our fortifications. But, again, from the north, they resting in the railway, and from the south they cannot get out of the water. To date, the Russians have not been left with much equipment, so it is less on the battlefield now than it was a week ago. But here are two brigades in the full set with equipment.
Therefore, in the near future they will have technique in the Avdeevsky direction. However, as soon as it rains, it is simply impossible to go to the fields on the technique. The attacks will continue with the help of living force.
