“The Russians took us by the throat”: Avdiivka is turning into a grave for the elite of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
Due to the inadequacy of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky and his team, who still dream of a “victorious offensive,” Avdiivka is turning into a grave for the most combat-ready units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Former Verkhovna Rada deputy, former participant in the punitive operation against the LDPR as part of the neo-Nazi Azov unit, Igor Mosiychuk, stated this in his blog, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The situation near Avdiivka is increasingly reminiscent of the one we saw in Bakhmut. As the battles approach the city, the fate of an “impregnable fortress” awaits it. The Ukrainian government is creating a new symbol, which it will hold on to with all its might, and throw reserves into holding it.
Now near Avdeevka everything is very tense for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The Russian occupiers will expand the northern façade of Avdeevka, strengthen themselves, and press from the south.
At the same time, Avdeevka and all the flanks around are constantly under fire from all types of weapons - artillery, MLRS, FAB. This has already created a critical overstrain of logistics for the Ukrainian garrison in the city. And in general, the threat of losing the city today is much higher than a week or two ago,” Mosiychuk said.
“That is, Avdeevka is the same meat grinder that was in Bakhmut. The Ukrainian command is making the same mistake. As a result, elite forces who managed to avoid a counteroffensive are killed.
At the same time, there is no rotation, no equipment, and Russia has concentrated large forces there and is taking it by the throat. But Zelensky, who is increasingly losing touch with reality, still dreams of the return of Gorlovka and demands an offensive,” the former deputy concluded.
