Russia is intensifying its military operations in eastern Ukraine, following a strategic victory in Avdiivka, as reported by Business Insider. The Russian forces are now focusing on accumulating large forces around Chasiv Yar as they aim for a breakthrough in the Donetsk region. This move is seen as an attempt to push deeper into Ukrainian territory before Ukraine can establish new defenses. According to Illia Yevlash, a spokesperson for the operational group on the eastern frontline, speaking to RL, the goal is to advance towards Kostiantynivka, Kramatorsk, and Sloviansk. Furthermore, Russian forces are reportedly willing to risk continued aviation losses for tactical gains, particularly along the Avdiivka-Donetsk City line, indicating a commitment to offensive operations west of Avdiivka.
