Avdiivka, Donetsk direction.

There is currently a very interesting group of
troops, so to speak, operating in the Avdiivka

area. First of all, these are representatives
of the 1st and 2nd Army Corps, which are the

mobilized biomass of the so-called Luhansk and
Donetsk republics. But, all this mass has support.

These corps are supported by a fairly
substantial Russian artillery grouping from

the 8th Guards Combined Arms Army. The units
operating in this area consist of a brigade,

three regiments and a division. They have a full
complement of various barrel and reactive lesions.

On the other hand, the leader of
the "Donetsk Republic" Pushilin

has been sending requests to the command of
Russian troops for more than a month about

the need to provide more landing units
to continue the offensive on Avdiivka.

At first he received an answer: there
will be, but you have to wait a bit...

Then he received an answer: You won't get
paratroopers, but you will get selected

fighters of the BARS unit, the "best" of the
"best"! Now he is not even promised BARS any more.

And all because Bakhmut is devouring all the
available resources of the Russian troops

and the command has to shuffle the limited
resource as best they can, and they can't.

But another thing is important here. The
example of Avdiivka vividly demonstrates

that having a large quantity of meat,
which can have artillery support,

is impossible without Armoured combat
vehicles to solve the tasks at hand.

It is a balance of forces and
means in their immediate function.

Not long ago, Pushilin personally visited
the outskirts of Bakhmut to tearfully ask

for help in supporting the offensive in the
Adiivka direction, but he was again ignored.

Before I continue, I ask you to subscribe
to my channel, it will help to promote it.

In the Avdiivka area, the enemy
does not have the necessary balance,

as it was not in the area of Ugledar, where
having a full staff of units of the 40th and

155th Separate Marine Brigade, without artillery
support they wiped out and zeroed out in a week.

Without one component, there was no
effectiveness of the entire group of troops.

But, most importantly, the Russian
command is now unable to ensure that

all of the integral components to ensure
the effectiveness of the troop group both

in offensive and defensive operations are in
place along virtually the entire front line.

And Avdiivka, in this case, is a prime example.

By the way, Bakhmut was never presented to
Putin for Orthodox Easter, and Prigozhin is

already proposing to end the offensive
and fix his "victories" as they are.

The leader of the Wagner Group suggested
"putting a fat end to the hostilities,"

and he was the first to voice the idea that
"this story" must somehow come to an end.

It is useful to recall the fate of
the separatist field commanders,

who also began at some point to demonstrate
excessive independence in their judgments,

after which they were attacked
by some kind of pestilence.

In any case, they were already too late
with the "fat point", about a year too late.

They still have not understood that
the war will end not on Russian terms,

but after a Ukrainian victory.
