“Around 700 people stayed in Avdiivka. The situation is not easy; regular checks are ongoing. The excitement of the majority of those who remained and waited for the Russians has long faded. Even those who didn't care admit now that it was far better under Ukraine's control. Because there is no evidence of democracy or that it was 'liberators' that came to them.”

“Russian forces seem to be attempting to push forward using small infantry assault groups, but are being decimated in the relatively open terrain west of Avdiivka.”

“The capture of Avdiivka has not led to the collapse of Ukrainian lines, the possibility for the Russians to move onto open ground or even to make major gains. There's no decisive action or breakthrough.”

“Outside of Avdiivka there are new positions being prepared, but they do not yet constitute a particularly formidable defensive line and are not comparable in scale to Russia's fortifications in the south.”

“Avdiivka is a very important strong point in the Ukrainian system of defense, because it protects Pokrovsk, about 30 miles to the northwest, a logistical hub for the Ukrainian Army. Taking control of Avdiivka might create an opening for Russia.”
