Тон известувања имам да пишувам... За Авдивка ќе ја споделам последната вест, нема потреба да се споделува постепеното заземање на градот.
Situation southwest of Donetsk: Russian Army took control over most of the forest belt west of Pobjeda. Now Russian troops are in position to assault the settlement. However, it's expected advance will continue southwards to increase the pressure over Novomykhailivka.
Situation north of Bakhmut: Russian Army continue advancing south of Popivske and close to the hills which overlooks Ivanivske from the north. There is no truth about the enter of Russian soldiers in the aforementioned town.
Situation northwest of Donetsk city: Russian Army continue making advances in Pervomaiske.
Situation southwest of Donetsk: Russian Army took control over new areas in the grey zone northeast of Novomykhailivka, where troops began storming the northern farms of the town.
Situation northwest of Donetsk city: Russian Army restarted the advances south of Nevelske for the first time in months and managed to capture new trenches of the 2014 line.
Situation on Avdivka front: Following the official announcement of Ukrainian withdrawal of Avdivka Russian Army entered in the remaining areas relatively easy and raised the flag in several startegic areas such as Avdiivka quartz sand quarry, Avdiivka Railway station, Khimik settlement and parts of Avdivka Coke Plant, where there are some parts out of the control. The combing operations will last several days, but it can be said that the battle for the urban area of Avdivka is over. Meanwhile Russian troops seem to have focused on the locality of Lastochkyne, in order to start increasing the Avdivka buffer zone.
With the withdrawal from Avdivka, Ukrainian forces have withdrawn to the localities west of the city around the defensive line on the Berdychi-Orlivka-Umanske-Netailove axis. Taking advantage of the Ukrainians' disorganised retreat, Russian forces reached the outskirts of Lastochkyne with the aim of taking it before the defenders' reorganisation (allowing the later capture of Sieverne, exposed from the north). However, a collapse of Ukrainian troops is not expected as some have mentioned on social media. The war of attrition continues.
Situation north of Donetsk: After ten days of positional battles Russian Army achieved new gains towards Terny reaching positions 1,2 km from the locality.
Situation on Zaporizhia front: Predictably, after days of build-up on the southern front, the Russian army launched new offensive operations in Zaporizhia on the same day that Avdivka was captured. The objective is simple and follows the dynamics of the war of attrition that the Russians want to maintain: force the diversion of Ukrainian reinforcements to the south while offensive operations continue to advance from various axes in the Donbas. The objectives of this offensive are limited, possibly limited to recapturing positions lost last summer and improving positions for a future operation to capture Orykhiv. For the moment, the first attacks have succeeded in capturing the trenches south of Robotyne. The fighting continues there and to the north-west of the town.
