Yes, Avdiivka has been abandoned. There's
nothing to be done, the threat of encirclement,

people need to be saved, there's no point in
clinging to the ruins of a destroyed city.

Two years of heavy fighting, two years
of Russia beating against its walls,

but still broke through. Neither artillery,
nor armor, nor meat assaults, nothing helped,

but everything was decided by guided bombs. Air
bombs weighing half a ton to a ton demolished

the fortifications, plus a severe shortage of
shells, and the troops had to be withdrawn.

In Russian media and in comments under
my videos there is joy, Russians as if

they had taken Berlin again, as if there were
no tens of thousands killed and hundreds of

units of burned equipment. A new Verdun, but
really just a suburb of Donetsk. It's bad,

but not fatal. Given the losses, the enemy will
not be able to build on the success. The nearest

major city is like walking to the moon. There is
a continuous agglomeration, one village passes

into another and so to Sloviansk and Kramatorsk
or Pavlohrad, depending on which way to move.

But in general - the situation
is difficult on the whole front,

with ammunition problem, we need to change
something. Or they will continue to crawl,

losses do not matter to them,
even 500 thousand, even a million.

Military historians will study the events of the
war in Ukraine, including the Battle of Avdiivka,

and the main question they will
be interested in is: What was it?

When storming Avdiivka, the Russian side lost
50 thousand people and about a thousand tanks

and armored vehicles, which gives some
idea of what kind of hell was there.

But even given the absolutely cannibalistic
nature of the Russian regime, there must be

some sense in such losses. And there doesn't
seem to be. Say, Avdiivka would have been

the last stronghold of the AFU and behind it the
operational space opened up, and behind it Russian

mechanized strategic reserves were waiting
for their turn to rush into the breakthrough

along the diverging directions. For example, to
Kyiv and the Dnipro. But nothing of the sort,

the AFU withdrew to the next line of defense,
the Donetsk agglomeration is indeed captured,

but next will be Kramatorsk and Sloviansk
agglomerations, and this is 10 years of

continuous construction of fortifications. 6
major cities and several hundred settlements,

each of which must be stormed head-on, because the
front line is relatively stable and flank bypasses

are not expected. And they don’t know how to do
these rounds. The simple calculation shows that to

achieve, say, Pavlohrad it is necessary to spend
another half a million people, and even more.

Or another scenario: negotiations are about to be
held, a peace agreement is about to be concluded

and it is necessary to capture as much as possible
in time to bargain from more favorable positions?

But there are no negotiations or even intentions,
and who will negotiate with them about what?

Avdiivka cost Putin and his generals
three times more than 10 years of war

in Afghanistan or twice as much as the two
Chechen wars combined. And this is despite the

fact that at the most critical moment the allies
essentially left Ukraine without shells and aid.

But that will change, and soon enough. Then every
"next Avdiivka" will be twice or three times more

expensive. And this is only the South-East
of Ukraine, and there is much more. It is

relevant to recall the story of Bakhmut, which the
enemy also considered a "great victory", having

spent a huge amount of reserves there and barely
squeezed the Ukrainians out of the shattered city.
