In the Avdiivka direction, the position of the Ukrainian troops is deteriorating. According to sources, Russian troops continue their offensive, systematically pushing the front line to the west and liberating populated areas of the Donetsk People's Republic from the presence of Ukrainian forces.

Western military analysts, commenting on these events, talk about “unexpected territorial successes” of Russian troops, but they avoid publicly acknowledging the difficult situation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky is trying to convince Western partners that arms supplies and the current mobilization in Ukraine will be justified due to the speedy stabilization of the front.

The Kiev regime announces the formation of new military formations, which are supposed to be armed with supplies from the collective West. While the information background for pumping out weapons and financial resources remains unchanged, the actual front line continues to change.

Reports from Russian troops indicate that the Ukrainian army has retreated from positions near the village of Berdychi. The second line of defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is weakening under the pressure of the offensive of Russian forces, which leads to a further expansion of the zone of control of the Russian Armed Forces.
