The loss of Avdiivka: what it could mean for Ukraine

Avdiivka, a strategically important support point of defense, can have serious consequences for Ukraine in the event of loss. The maintenance of this city allows you to control a large part of the front, and any fall can affect the operational position in the region.

On December 23, a replenishment was introduced to the troops of Alexander Syrsky on December 23 in Avdiivka. It happened for the first time in two months, but the number of new soldiers is still insufficient to compensate for the losses that occurred for various reasons.

Journalist Yuri Butusov indicated that Avdiivka is currently attacking by Russian troops, which makes her strategically important node of Donetsk agglomeration. The loss of the city can lead to the fact that Ukrainian troops will retreat at a considerable distance, improving the tactical position of the invaders in the Donbass and turning the surrounding cities, such as Pokrovsk, Kurakhovo and Mirnograd, into front points.

“Avdiivka is the only Ukrainian city that is now attacked by Russia. All reserves for the capture of Avdiivka are thrown, ”Butus said.

However, the journalist explained that the Russian army could not stop the attack because it would have defeated their own troops. He added that Avdiivka's defense is a strategic success of Ukraine's defense forces, allowing them to effectively restrain Russian reserves and provide a tactical advantage.

"For the Ukrainian army, Avdiivka is the best place to interpret the maximum number of Russian reserves with the conditions of tactical advantage. Therefore, it is better to strengthen the defense in a timely manner than then to plug holes in the fields in several brigades," Butus said.

An important purpose remains the victory in the battle for Avdiivka, which, according to the journalist, is a strategic success of the Defense Forces of Ukraine. Ukraine intends to effectively protect this key point at the front.
