The situation in Avdiivka, a city in Ukraine, is rapidly deteriorating as Russian forces intensify their offensive, leading to significant strategic disadvantages for Ukrainian forces. Ukrainian soldiers have acknowledged the potential inevitability of Avdiivka's fall, given Russia's offensive capabilities, as reported by the Kiev Independent. Hrabskyi stressed that the city's first defense line, despite extensive fortification efforts, is under threat. Reports from DeepState indicate that the Main Supply Route (MSR) to the north of Avdiivka is likely unusable, and the Zenit position to the south is at high risk of being cut off from the main Ukrainian force. A military analysis suggests that the Ukrainian position in Avdiivka has become untenable, especially after Russian forces achieved a breakthrough to the east of the city last October, compromising its defensive value. Pro-Ukrainian sources and the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) mapping indicate that Russia has effectively divided Avdiivka, with significant parts of the urban area and the main Industrial Prospekt road now cut off, putting Ukrainian forces in a precarious position.

We haven't seen the geolocations yet, but DeepState has updated their map - it's put the Ukrainian forces in Avdiivka in a bit of a jam now the main Industrial Prospekt road has been cut. It's time to either eat the casualties & relieve that road, or get out of dodge. Pick one https://t.co/FBB1aHQguQ

On Avdiivka. "From a strictly military perspective, the current Ukrainian position looks untenable...When the Russians broke through to the east of Avdiivka in October last year, the defensive value of the city was compromised" https://t.co/eF09c2Uq8u
The situation in Avdiivka keeps deteriorating according to @Deepstate_UA. Their mapping and extent of the grey area suggests two things: 1) The MSR to the north is likely unusable 2) Zenit position to the south is at high risk of being cut off if it already isn't. https://t.co/ZDaHbfDTfj
