 Terrible plans of Russia in Avdeevka were revealed. Main reason for losses of Russians here is known. Russian forces, despite their losses, continue to storm Avdeevka in the Donetsk region. However, their plans may face a setback as a possible Ukrainian offensive is being prepared in an entirely different direction, according to the head of the Ukrainian Centre for Military Political Studies, Oleksandr Musienko. According to him, the Russian intent in the assault on Avdeevka is not merely to capture the city. Their plan is to divert Ukrainian forces from the southern fronts and concentrate them in the Avdeevka area. They are concerned about Ukrainian actions in the left bank of the Kursan region, which is why this offensive is underway to halt Ukrainian advances. Capturing Avdeevka as both a city and a strategic position is a secondary objective. As for the ongoing combat operations, Ukrainian forces have played a crucial role in its defense, inflicting significant losses, particularly in terms of equipment and repelling numerous attacks. It does not appear that the Ukrainian armed forces have engaged large reserves from the southern fronts, which is already undermining the enemy's plans, he added. The defense of Avdeevka demonstrates that the enemy cannot simultaneously launch offensive across the entire eastern front. They need to concentrate their efforts. They are unable to advance equally on the Lyman-Kupiansk section of the front, which is also a result of our successful defense. Whether they will manage to capture Avdeevka remains to be seen, but only the course of the battle will reveal that. I hope not, but various scenarios are possible and a retreat might be necessary. However, in the grand scheme of the eastern front, this would not have a significant strategic impact. Oleksandr Musienko said.
