According to The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), Russian invaders use a new tactic that journalists are characterized as "zombie-tactics". According to the report, Russian troops noted significant losses and recognition, but continue to attack positions near Avdiivka.
After unsuccessful attacks in October and loss of equipment, the Russians changed their tactics. Now they direct small infantry groups, trying to use the numerical advantage and willingness to lose their goals. Ukrainian defenders continue to reflect attacks, recognize that they are defined and faced with difficulties because of limited resources.
In the words of one of the Ukrainian servicemen, the Russian infantry is attacking as if "zombies", strategically looking for the weaknesses of Ukrainian defenders. Also, due to lack of ammunition and fatigue, the Armed Forces faced the difficulties in keeping defense.
The WSJ article also notes that the battle for Avdiivka can change a new stage of the war for Ukraine. The conditions of multi -agricultural defense are becoming more likely, especially given the uncertainty with the supply of Western ammunition and the general condition of the Ukrainian troops.
It is worth noting that this is only one of the reports, information about military events can change, and it is important to track updates from reliable sources to obtain up -to -date information.
