If we compare the current situation under
Avdiivka and in the second hot spot - Kupiansk,

then for the Ukrainian armed forces, it's
hotter under Avdiivka right now. In Kupiansk,

of course, there is also serious
pressure from the Russian occupants,

but there are certain risk zones in Avdiivka, and
these risks are much greater than in Kupiansk.

It is impossible to just take and understand
Russia's tasks near Avdiivka. I do not see

any expediency, let alone strategic
and tactical significance. They are

trying to justify it somehow by saying
that by capturing Avdiivka they will

secure Donetsk. But Avdiivka since
2014 was in the form in which it is.

Yes, Avdiivka is a convenient springboard
for the liberation of Donetsk. But there

will be no de-occupation of Donetsk in the
short or even medium term. First there will

be liberation of the Zaporizhzhya region and
the left bank of the Kherson region. I also

do not rule out that the Crimean peninsula
will be liberated earlier than Donetsk. It

was not a priority task for the AFU for the
enemy to decide to send such resources there.

And I think this is a political move.
To show that they can do something else,

that they are capable of doing something,
that they have some definite opportunities

to attack and seize new territories. There
was no other expediency to these actions.

We can consider now the mainland south
of Ukraine as two separate bridgeheads,

the Zaporizhzhya region and the left-bank
Kherson region. And if we are talking about

the Zaporizhzhya region, the wedge in
the direction of Tokmak remains the

main zone of influence and advancement
of the forces of liberation of Ukraine.

Yes, it seems to be going slowly. But as the
Ukrainian stormtroopers rightly say, "If anyone

thinks it can be done faster, welcome to our
trenches. Show us how it can be done faster."

The fact is that Zaporizhzhya region, namely the
Novoprokopivka-Verbove-Ocheretuvate triangle is

now maximally filled with human resources,
but there is a small nuance. It consists of

returning some units to the left bank of the
Kherson region from the Zaporizhzhya region,

which were previously deployed
there to strengthen the defense.

Why and for what purpose is all this happening?
Because the Russian command has a very unclear

situation on the left bank. The gray zone, which
had been forming for almost a year following the

liberation of the right bank of the Kherson
region, is expanding. It is impossible for

the Russians to stop or freeze it and they feel
seriously threatened by it. That is why they are

forced to weaken their Zaporizhzhya bridgehead to
some extent in order to strengthen the left bank.

On the left bank of Kherson, something happens

that is not worth talking about too
much. It takes silence and time...

Yes, there are small successes. Yes, there are
small movements in general in that direction.

But they are given at a very high cost, and
then generously watered with enemy bombs,

missiles, artillery and fpv drones. So far
there is no equipment there, only personnel.

At some point a second southern front will open
there, but right now the situation is measured

in minimal tactical successes. Therefore, we'll
talk more later to avoid causing harm right now.
