The Russian command has increased the
number of armed forces by 170000 people.

But it will be in the spring to avoid
another stage of general mobilization.

And now the enemy forces are
simultaneously attacking from

all directions where they can locally afford it.

On the Donetsk direction in the area
of Avdiivka fierce fighting continues

within the framework of the enemy's plan to
encircle the Avdiivka defense area of the AFU.

On the Avdiivka direction now
it is difficult, very difficult!

The enemy does not stop massive attacks with the

use of both meat assaults and
the whole range of weapons.

Unfortunately they are having successes.
Small, but very gradually they are advancing.

Enemy forces are storming the village of Stepove
from all directions on the railroad side,

and the village itself in its eastern part.
The enemy, unfortunately, was able to gain a

foothold in the outermost houses in the village
and extended the gray zone by 200 meters.

Here we can state that massive frontal attacks

bring them success. But in order to
occupy 300 meters of the village and

to organize the same amount of gray
zone it took the enemy a whole month.

With the losses of the occupiers at this
rate, it will be possible to build a wall

in Stepove from those occupiers who gave
their lives "for the homeland, for Putin".

The enemy also had successes southeast of Stepove,
advancing 300 meters and this is a wake-up call.

This is both bad for the defense of the
village itself and the Avdiivka Coke Plant.

Need to see how it will be in dynamics, while the
enemy is paying 1 corpse per 1 meter of advance.

This figure tends to increase, because the actions

and defense of the AFU forces the
occupier to go into frontal attacks.

At this rate, the 10-12 kilometers
that remain before encirclement,

the enemy will pass 16-20 months. But
of course, it doesn't work like that.

Everything will very much depend on whether
the AFU will be able to destroy the enemy

offensive potential before the enemy crawls
to Lastochkyne and Tonenke from both sides.

I don't know if they will hold
Avdiivka, I have my thoughts on this,

but I believe that everything has
its time and it has not come yet.

The Ukrainian Defense Forces are
doing their best! In those conditions,

they have already performed a
miracle and stopped the blitzkrieg,

because of which the enemy is forced
to grind its forces in frontal attacks.

On the left bank, active fighting
continues near the village of

Krynky and to the south in the forest
area. The situation remains dynamic,

the Ukrainian defense forces have improved their
tactical position in the wooded area. The enemy,

supported by tactical aviation
is pressing on the flanks.

The Russian side has also thrown a lot of
resources into psychological operations

and left and right-wing radicals in the
European Union, which are really messing

up Ukraine's economy and logistics at such
a crucial moment, it's not all an accident.

This is a purposeful desire, if
not to physically destroy Ukraine,

then at least to put it at the table
of "negotiations" on capitulation

and recognition of the occupied
territories, but it will not work.
