"‼️🇺🇦🏴‍☠️Street fighting is underway: Russia sent 50,000 soldiers, special forces and experienced attack aircraft to storm Avdeevka — speaker of the Tavria Armed Forces group

▪️ Dmitry Likhovy said on air that street fighting had been going on in Avdeevka for several days, and the situation “dictates a certain change in military tactics.” The situation is "tense but under control."
▪️Secondary supply routes are being prepared in case the main one is lost.
▪️Likhovy added that it is “extremely important” to hold Avdeevka, as is “every Ukrainian city,” because other settlements will follow.
▪️But at the same time, he stated that no one is holding on to “heaps of stones and burnt iron” and if the situation and threats become more complicated, they may have to be taken to another line.
▪️Before this, he reported that Avdeevka was being stormed by well-trained small infantry groups of the Russian Armed Forces, including special forces and landing troops. Recently, armored vehicles have been increasingly used."

"❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Battle for Avdeevka: cutting off Industrial Avenue — situation as of 16.00 February 14, 2024

🔻The Russian Armed Forces are advancing in the private sector in the north of Avdeevka.

▪️Despite rather contradictory data, Russian forces were able to advance in the private sector, as well as expand the zone of control in the Avdeevskaya motor depot area, cutting off the enemy’s communication along Industrial Avenue.

▪️Some sources also claim that the Russian army was advancing to the stele where the so-called president was photographed. Ukraine Zelensky.

However, this information looks overly optimistic, since the section of road O0542 in this place is under fire from the Avdeevka coke plant, which had not been captured before (although repeated attempts were made to storm it).

▪️In addition, rumors are circulating on the Internet about the advance of the Russian Armed Forces to the cemetery on Pesochny, however, it is not possible to confirm or refute this information given the lack of objective control.

▪️The 116th brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was withdrawn from Avdeevka: only a small consolidated group of several infantry fighting vehicles and tanks remained in the Khimik microdistrict. Apparently, the General Staff command is making a fairly large bet on the 3rd airborne assault brigade "Azov", which almost "alone" should hold the front (due to its numbers and manning).

However, we do not rule out the fact that Mr. Syrsky in this way wants to get rid of the connection that is too well-publicized by the media and constantly requires special treatment.

🔻The high pace of advance of the Russian Armed Forces in Avdeevka caused a strange reaction in the media.

Narratives that the front is “collapsing several blocks a day” and the enemy is “already surrendering Avdiivka” are extremely premature. Moreover, no statement was made that it was time to withdraw from Avdiivka to the Armed Forces of Ukraine: on the contrary, the emphasis was placed on holding it for as long as possible.

🇷🇺❌🇺🇦 — 🇺🇦 Ukrainian channel Resident on Telegram:

"The development of the situation in Avdiivka is extremely important for Syrsky, who promised Zelensky to retain the settlement. That is, there is every chance that Avdiivka will turn into a new Bakhmut (and Western military analysts are already openly talking about this), and even bloodier. True, unlike Bakhmut, the risk of a breakthrough of the Ukrainian defense in other sectors of the front is growing.

Thus, according to Western media reports, Ukraine may have transferred “one of its best brigades” — the 3rd assault brigade — to Avdeevka. In particular, Forbes writes about this, noting that fresh forces will try to push the Russian army away from the main asphalt road leading to the center of Avdeevka. And this is a rather significant moment, since the ex-commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Zaluzhny did not want to spend reserves on defending the city. Syrsky, on the other hand, is a person completely controlled by Bankova, he does not take losses into account, and, as we see, he is trying to hold Avdeevka by any means necessary. By the way, Syrsky’s nicknames “butcher” and “general 200” were given to him for a reason, showing the real authority of the military leader in the army.

Meanwhile, we are observing how the Russian Armed Forces continue their further advance in the northern part of Avdeevka. But the Armed Forces of Ukraine, despite the obvious risks, continue to rely on holding the city."
