00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:05,480
There are no ordinary front lines
in war. There are only those that
2
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:10,760
are more difficult. Right now, this
is Avdiivka. Here the enemy does not
3
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:16,000
abandon attempts to break through the
AFU defenses and encircle the city.
4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,960
The occupation army actively uses assault units,
5
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:24,080
throws a large number of armored
vehicles, using aviation and artillery.
6
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:28,000
Nevertheless, Ukrainian soldiers
continue to repel the attacks,
7
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,360
destroying the enemy's manpower and equipment.
8
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:36,240
For more than 14 months now, the Russian
army has not had any "territorial gains"
9
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:42,120
in Ukraine. Its last success was the capture of
Sievierodonetsk and Lysychansk in the summer of
10
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:48,160
2022. Subsequent successes in the form of the
capture of Soledar and Bakhmut were secured by
11
00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:53,800
the forces of the Wagner group and at the cost
of huge losses among the recruited convicts.
12
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:58,560
This time, as in the case of Bakhmut, Russian
propaganda hastened to announce the imminent
13
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:03,200
capture of Avdiivka. But Shoigu's
army failed in this "task" as well,
14
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,400
losing five times as much equipment as the AFU.
15
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:11,440
In this situation, Russian propaganda attempted
to portray the attempt to storm Avdiivka as a
16
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:16,160
success, here are just some headlines and
narratives : "decisive battle", "removing
17
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:21,120
the "devilish splinter", "Avdiivka is already
cracking", "Western weapons will not help, panic
18
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:25,400
is already being felt in the ranks of the enemy",
"The cauldron is closing in Avdiivka", "the
19
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:31,440
noose is tightening", "elimination of the most
powerful AFU bridgehead in Donbass," and so on.
20
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,320
In fact, all initial attempts to
storm Avdiivka ended in failure for
21
00:01:35,320 --> 00:01:39,320
the Russian army. You and I have
already watched numerous videos
22
00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:43,480
of the destruction of Russian
armored vehicles near Avdiivka.
23
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:48,160
According to Oryx, during almost 2 weeks of
attacks the Russian Armed Forces lost a huge
24
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:54,680
amount of equipment, the ratio of losses was
almost 5 to 1. 204 units of equipment from
25
00:01:54,680 --> 00:02:01,480
the Russian side against 38 from the Ukrainian
side. And this is not counting the last two days,
26
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:06,320
which were intense for the AFU and dreadful
for the enemy. According to the data from the
27
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:12,440
Ukrainian side, only tanks and Armoured fighting
vehicles burned about 200 units for these 2 days,
28
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,680
which surprised even me, and most of
them were destroyed near Avdiivka.
29
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:22,160
As I mentioned earlier, Avdiivka is the strongest
fortification of the AFU, which is almost closely
30
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:28,040
adjacent to Donetsk - its equipment has been
underway since 2015. Previous attempts by the
31
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:34,520
Russian army to capture Avdiivka were made in
March 2023, but they also ended in failure.
32
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:40,680
But right now in the Avdiivka direction, the enemy
is trying to do a second take. This is expected,
33
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,920
but it does not make it easier for
Ukrainian soldiers. Now the enemy
34
00:02:44,920 --> 00:02:49,160
is concentrating on trying to seize the
slag collector near Avdiivka Coke Plant,
35
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,600
which will give him full
fire control over the plant.
36
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:57,720
On the last day, the assaults significantly
intensified, but the Defense forces continue
37
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:02,840
to eliminate the enemy infantry with
artillery fire, forcing them to retreat.
38
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:07,000
It is obvious that the attempt to eliminate
the Avdiivka defense area of the AFU pursue
39
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:13,000
the main goal - the removal of Ukrainian troops
from the close approaches to Donetsk. Also,
40
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,680
the enemy forces want to completely
bypass the village of Pervomayske
41
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:21,600
from the north and move on the settlement
of Sieverne. But these are their plans,
42
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:29,000
which have already collapsed dozens of
times. Let's see what will happen this time.
