To the north of Avdiivka, Russian units developed success near Krasnogorovka and broke through the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near the railway. Now the RF Armed Forces have entrenched themselves on the eastern outskirts of Petrovsky (Stepovoe) , where fierce battles are taking place.
??The Armed Forces of Ukraine are urgently reinforcing forward positions with reinforcements. Reinforcements, reinforced by several tanks, were transferred from the Berdychi area in the direction of Petrovsky.
??In the northeast, Russian fighters entered Kamenka , for which intense fighting has been going on for the past few days. Clashes continue inside the village.
South of Avdiivka, assault detachments of the Russian Armed Forces, operating from the outskirts of Opytny , broke through the fortifications of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the southwestern outskirts of the city. Now the fighting is going on on the outskirts of the 9th quarter of Avdiivka.
If the military personnel of the RF Armed Forces are able to liberate Petrivske and gain a foothold in the area by cutting the railway line, the supply by rail will be stopped, which will significantly reduce the capabilities of the Ukrainian group.
A breakthrough in the south-west of the Avdiivka fortified area fetters Ukrainian units in this area, preventing them from being transferred to the north to regain control over a section of the railway line.
With clear and timely coordination of the actions of the advancing forces of the RF Armed Forces, serious tactical success can be achieved, and the grouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine can fall into the operational encirclement.
