“Ukraine Scores Rare Avdiivka Win as Russia Attacks on Eastern Front: UK MoD. Defence Intelligence”

UK MOD according to Newsweek, said that "Ukrainian units have likely conducted successful local counterattacks, denying Russian forces full control of the village of Stepove."

“Ukrainian forces have enjoyed some success in the brutal battle for Avdiivka, according to British officials, in an update that follows a series of recent downbeat assessments regarding Kyiv's war prospects.”

Reminder. Oct 7 saw Hamas forces do their best to slaughter every Israeli man woman and child they could.

Oct 8 saw russia launch a massive artillery barrage on Avdiivka in advance of their wasteful and so far almost fruitless attempt to grab the Ukrainian settlement (under ruski assault for 9 fucking years now).

Some assessments conclude russian losses on Avdiivka since Oct 9 2023 total as high as 25,000 Orcs. Killed in action.

Ukraine kills russians now faster than Shoigu can assemble the meat for a scant 2-week (or less) training before being exposed to Ukrainian fire.

Ukrainian slaughter of Orcs and advance on Stepove, according to the MoD and Newsweek “was also reported by the Kremlin-affiliated Russian milblogger Rybar, who said that Ukrainian forces had advanced in unspecified forest areas near Stepove, where Russian troops were attempting one part of a pincer movement to envelop Avdiivka and its heavily defended industrial zone.”

Looking to the ruski millbloggers for credible updates in russian failure has been enlightening throughout the war.

“The Ukrainian military command has set the task of holding Avdiivka at any cost," the Rybar channel said, noting that "over 40 battalions from eight brigades of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, transferred from the western sectors of the front, are concentrated in this direction.

Another Russian milblogger, Two Majors, has described the Avdiivka front as "a lighter version of the Bakhmut meat grinder," referring to the Donetsk city that saw high casualties during a fierce fight.

Russia's offensives in Avdiivka continue to involve largely dismounted infantry assaults, often by Storm-Z penal units.

The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) said on Sunday that “russian forces are conducting attritional infantry-led frontal assaults on Ukrainian fortifications "at high cost."

The Ukrainian General Staff reported on Sunday that its troops had repelled at least 39 Russian attacks within six miles in several directions of Avdiivka, as well as near Stepove.

Meanwhile, Alexander Syrsky, the head of the Ukrainian Ground Forces, described the operationalsituation in the east of Ukraine as "difficult" and said 60 military clashes took place at the front during the day.

Here's to Ukraine continuing to roll out a special welcome to the murderers and rapists seeking to glorify their filth-hole from which they crawled.
