 Russian forces are transferring additional forces to the Abdiyivka front, despite on-knowing challenges with frontal mechanized assaults and the failure of a renewed push, this is said in a report by the Institute for the Study of War.According to ISW experts, several Russian millbloggers claimed that there were no significant changes along the front in the Abdiyivka direction. Russian forces are likely once again pausing following the failed major push, which suffered heavy losses.A Russian millblogger claimed that Ukrainian forces unexpectedly counterattacked in the direction of Pisky and pushed Russian forces from positions in the area.Another millblogger stated that claims of Ukrainian advances near Pisky and Apitnyi are false, geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces recently made marginal advances southeast of Purvomask.A Russian millblogger claimed that Russian forces have not completely cleared the Abdiyivka waste heap area and that the area is currently a contested grey zone.A Kremlin-affiliated millblogger claimed that it is difficult to conduct maneuver warfare on a static front line with a large number of personnel and fortified areas on both sides.The millblogger noted that Ukrainian drones and other precision weapons have made armored vehicles increasingly vulnerable and have made ground attacks increasingly difficult.The millblogger also noted that Russian forces are facing difficulties in overcoming Ukrainian minefields near Abdiyivka and are unable to completely destroy Ukrainian logistics, allowing the Ukrainian command to quickly transfer personnel to the critical areas.Eukranian sources stated that Russian forces continue to transfer personnel to the Abdiyivka direction to support offensive efforts despite heavy losses.Ukrainian Tavrya group of forces spokesperson Colonel Aleksandr Stupin stated that the Russian military is deploying personnel from Russian territory directly to the Abdiyivka direction to replace personnel losses.Ukrainian military observer Kostiantyn Mashovets stated that the Russian military command has recently transferred several Russian regiments comprised of mobilized personnel to the Abdiyivka direction, indicating that Russia likely does not plan to abandon operations in this direction.
