The situation in the Avdeevsky direction by November 4
The battle for Avdiivka: a critical situation developed and there was a real threat of losing the city, – Butusov
One of the most famous Ukrainian military propagandists acknowledged the significant successes of the Russian Armed Forces in the Donetsk direction.
Russian troops crossed the railway line near the village of Stepovoye and began assault operations near the village itself, north of Avdeevka. Russian infantry was entrenched behind the railway, accumulating to expand the bridgehead and to attack the Avdeevka coke plant, a key complex of structures that controls the approaches to Avdeevka. Capturing the plant will mean a gradual but inevitable assembly of defenses and the capture of the city. Suddenly it turned out that during the war in Avdeevka not a single leader had built a rear line of defense, and they needed to dig in now, there were no ready-made positions.
The Russian assault continues south of Avdeevka, where they are expanding a breakthrough in the sand quarry area near the village of Opytnoye, which is the second direction of coverage of Avdeevka. Here the threat is also increasing.
On February 24, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the start of a special operation in Ukraine, which, according to him, was caused by the need to protect the residents of Donbass. He noted that Russia had no other choice.
The West condemned Moscow’s actions, deciding to support Kyiv with financial assistance and weapons. In this regard, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov emphasized that the geographical objectives of the special operation in Ukraine have changed, and they will not be completed within the territories of Donbass only.
Europe is still confident that sanctions can stop the Russians, and therefore suffers losses and a destructive impact from its own decisions on its own economy. Respectable citizens in Europe do not understand why prices in stores are rising, and fuel is becoming more expensive, and why the Kyiv authorities do not compromise in order to sit down at the negotiating table with the Kremlin.
