It is noted that the situation in the south of Avdiyivka is critical. According to “DeepState,” the Russian occupiers may have entered the city and are trying to gain a foothold there. Street battles are believed to have begun in Avdiivka. Although there is no official evidence of this.

“It is not clear how the enemy managed to carry out a ruthless story by bypassing our positions in the area of the “Tsarskaya ohota” hotel and restaurant complex. I don’t know how they managed it, but it happened. In the private sector, it is already on our streets,” explained military expert Colonel Vladislav Seleznev.
According to the expert, the fighting would take place on every street, but it was more convenient for the Ukrainian troops to keep the enemies at a distance. Control over Avdiivka and its suburbs is a question of resources.

“The opponent is gradually moving towards the 9th quarter and that is a very dangerous challenge. Maintaining control of Avdiivka and its suburbs is a matter of resources. If these are not enough, the Ukrainian army may resort to maneuvering defense,” the expert explained.
In general, the nature of the fighting in the Avdiivka direction has changed since the beginning of the year. Tauria Directorate spokesman Aleksandrs Stupun previously stated that Russian aviation activity had decreased, but the number of artillery attacks had increased.
“There have been fewer combat missions and the use of FPV drones. But the enemy is regrouping and we are preparing to increase their activity,” he said.
The situation on the Ukrainian front
In the summer, the Ukrainian military launched a counteroffensive in eastern and southern Ukraine. More than a dozen populated points were evacuated in Donetsk and Zaporizhia regions.
The Russian occupiers are currently intensifying their attacks on the front. Invaders are trying to break through Ukrainian defenses in Avdiivka, Marynka, Kupyansk and Liman regions. The Ukrainian armed forces are curbing the attempts of the Russian occupiers.
