The Russian offensive on Avdiivka began on
a large scale, with artillery and aircraft

supporting columns of equipment moving
to break through the defense lines near

the city. However, despite the use of
such serious offensive capabilities,

the 1st echelon failed to
achieve any of their objectives.

Obviously, something went wrong, because
the second echelon was used to consolidate

the achieved result in the fields. That
is, the result of the initial offensive

was not the capture of villages, cutting
the railroad or control over the heap,

but the occupation of trenches
and woodlots in the field.

This meant that there was no longer
enough resources for further offensives,

and an accelerated transfer of forces from
the Lugansk region began. But, even after

the reinforcement, they failed to achieve their
goals either on the northern or southern flank.

By the end of October, the Russian command had
already concentrated units of several armies,

more than 40 thousand personnel in the area
of Avdiivka. The pressure per kilometer of

the front here is twice the pressure
that was exerted in the Bakhmut area.

The enemy is using a mixed type of
assault action. They try to break

through the defenses with armored columns,
as in Ugledar. But when they are destroyed,

they start mass assaults with infantry component
- a tactic that was called "meat wave" at Bakhmut.

Using mixed tactics, they were able
to succeed only in open areas - in

the fields. But as they approached the main
lines of defense, a problem immediately arose.

In the area of Avdiivka the occupants lost
10 almost full-fledged Battalion tactical

groups. But despite the losses, the task
of the Russian troops remains unchanged,

the progressive and systematic
encirclement of Avdiivka,

with subsequent tightening of the ring
at the level of operational encirclement.

But it is worth recalling that during the
entire time of the full-scale invasion

they were able to encircle only one city -
Mariupol. And it happened in conditions of

not the best position of the city and at the
peak of offensive functionality of the enemy.

Now they will critically lack the allocated
resource, and it will be necessary to

withdraw it from other bridgeheads. They
cannot withdraw from Kherson region,

because there is a serious problem there
in the form of a gray zone on the left

bank of the Dnipro, which the Russian
command cannot solve for almost a year.

In Zaporizhzhya region it is similar,
because the AFU is only waiting for

the weakening of the enemy in this area to
break through to Tokmak. In Donetsk region,

in addition to the offensive on Avdiivka,

the Russians are concerned about the Ukrainian
advance in the southern sector of Bakhmut.

Only the Luhansk region remains, but this
resource is not infinite and its weakening

may end with the fact that after imitating their
large-scale offensive on Lyman-Kupiansk axis,

the occupiers themselves can begin
to retreat to the R-66 highway.

The coming weeks may clearly show the situation
in perspective. If the Russian command is ready to

further strengthen the offensive at the expense of
resources from other bridgeheads, it may capture

Avdiivka. At the cost of colossal losses and
loss of control over much larger territories.

We witnessed a similar picture while the
Russians were advancing on Bakhmut - they

lost most of Kharkiv region and the right
bank of Kherson region. And what did this

offensive give them except pathos for internal
consumption? Nothing but colossal losses. This

is the fate of the Russian command, to
step on the same rake time after time.
