That tends to happen when so many of your troops and so much of your armor has been destroyed in poorly planned and ultimately failed attacks. JL

Roman Petrenko reports in Ukraine Pravda:

Russian occupying forces have reduced the number of assault operations on the Avdiivka front. Estimated Russian losses in the area of responsibility totalled 337 troops. Ukrainian Defence Forces successfully repelled 19 attacks east of Avdiivka, Tonenke and Pervomaiske. Five armored combat vehicles, an artillery system, an ammunition storage point and two oil and lubricant storage facilities belonging to the Russians were also destroyed.

Quote from Tarnavskyi: "The invaders reduced the number of assault operations and started employing aircraft again.

The enemy delivered 6 airstrikes, engaged in 33 combat engagements and launched 512 artillery bombardments on the Tavriia front.

Ukrainian defenders are continuing to hold back the enemy in the area of responsibility of the Tavriia OSGF. They [the Russians] keep attempting to encircle [the town of] Avdiivka. Our soldiers are firmly holding the line, inflicting heavy losses on the enemy. The Ukrainian Defence Forces successfully repelled 19 attacks east of [the village of] Novobakhmutivka and near [the settlements of] Avdiivka, Tonenke and Pervomaiske."
