 Avdivka draining Russian resources. Ukrainian troops are restraining the Russian offensive on Avdivka and Kupyansk, while at the same time gaining a foothold on the left bank of the Kursan region. Summary of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, analysts of the American Institute for the Study of War and the Ukrainian Deep State Project confirms it. Despite huge losses, the Russians make their way to Avdivka, attacking from the flanks and through industrial zones. At the same time, positions are being stormed in the direction of Kupyansk as well as in the south of Donetsk and Zaporizia region. The only area where good news is coming from is the left bank of the Kursan region where the Ukrainian Armed Forces are entrenched on bridgeheads. All this is happening against the background of a shortage of resources which jeopardizes the success of offensive and defensive operations. Russian troops again stepped up in the direction of Avdivka. According to the head of the city's military administration, Vitaly Barabash, it is hot now in the area of the industrial zone of the Avdivka coke and chemical plant. The city itself is being bombarded by aviation and artillery. Every day they hit the city, mainly on high-rise buildings, he says. According to Deep State reports, the defenses in the southern industrial zone on the side of Yasi Novata have been breached and it is only a matter of time before the occupiers move into new positions.
