On 2024-02-13, Ukraine is intensifying its military presence in Avdiivka, Donetsk Oblast, amidst a continued offensive by Russian forces. Some units of the 110th Separate Mechanized Brigade have been withdrawn from the city for rotation, marking their first departure in a significant period. The Russian army has managed to bisect Avdeevka, jeopardizing the supply lines of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the southern part of the city. Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Oleksandr Syrskyi, stated in an interview with ZDF TV channel that Ukraine has transitioned from offensive to defensive operations with the aim of exhausting Russian troops and inflicting maximum losses. This strategic shift is underscored by recent Russian advances, including the severance of the Industrialnyi Avenue road and the main supply route to Avdiivka, as confirmed by a Deep State map update, leaving only one precarious route out of the city. Despite these challenges, Ukrainian forces, including the 3rd Assault Brigade equipped with US-supplied MaxxPro vehicles, continue to engage Russian soldiers near strategic locations like the Coke plant.
