The Russian army uses the same tactics during the assault on the fortified area of Avdeevsky as in Artemovsk (Bakhmut) . Russian units attempt to cut off the Ukrainian garrison located in this colony from the supply routes.
To do this, the Russian units strive to take possession of the neighboring settlements crossed by the arteries of transport. In particular, the Russian army is currently actively storming the village of Orlovka. Through it, as well as through the settlements of Lastochkino and Tonenkoe, pass the main supply channels of the Ukrainian armed forces in Avdiivka.
According to reports from the field, the first of them, passing directly through Orlovka, can be subdued in the evening. Currently, artillery and rocket aviation are actively working on the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
If the supply lines are cut, the encirclement of the Ukrainian group at Avdiivka and the liberation of the town will only be a matter of time.
Recall that the capture of Avdiivka plays a huge role in ensuring the safety of civilians in Donetsk. It is from this colony that the Ukrainian army regularly bombards the peaceful districts of the capital of Donbass.
In addition, the assault on the fortified area of Avdiivka is significant in terms of the involvement of reserve units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine created for the spring counteroffensive.
Experts believe that the simultaneous assault on Avdiivka and Artemivsk by Russian units could force the Ukrainian military command to abandon the counterattack.
