He noted that the Russians continue their attacks in the Avdeevsky direction. They use drones and aircraft to attack the positions of Ukrainian defenders. There were 15 airstrikes in just one day.
“The number of assaults has decreased, but yesterday the enemy acted with a large number of infantry and armored vehicles in one attack. That is, there are fewer of them in number, but they have become more massive – more infantry and more armor, tanks and armored fighting vehicles,” said Shtupun.
At the same time, according to him, if previously the armored vehicles remained with the infantry and somehow covered them, now after the landing the equipment begins to retreat back.
“The enemy is probably saving his equipment. And the infantry is treated like meat,” added Shtupun.
Storms of Avdeevka
Let us remind you that the Russians have intensified their assaults in the Avdeevka area since the beginning of October. They are trying to surround the city and take control of it.
For these few months, Ukrainian defenders have been defending the city and preventing the invaders from carrying out their plans.
As experts noted in a commentary to RBC-Ukraine, Avdeevka could become the final assault chord of the Russian Federation, since the enemy is suffering huge losses there.
