Over the weekend of February 5, 2024, Russian forces achieved four significant victories, including a rapid advance in Avdiivka leading to its near encirclement, reported at 0230 on February 5. Operations on the southern front may have been a diversion to draw Ukrainian forces away from the north. Confirmed gains were made near Kupyansk, Kreminna, and northeast of Bakhmut, while Ukrainian forces advanced northeast of Nevelske. In Novomikhailovka, Russian units broke through defenses and reached the eastern outskirts. Despite this, Ukrainian forces repelled Russian assaults in the Kupiansk axis at 1445 UTC on February 6, and at 1440 UTC, they continued to defend Synkivka. Intelligence indicates Russia is concentrating forces in the Kupiansk-Kreminna area. The Ukrainian garrison in Avdiivka consists of around 3000 exhausted men.
