Could it be so that in fact time is more on the Ukrainian side.
Right now there seems to be a stalemate at some areas of the front. I wonder if this isn't gonna change in favor for the Ukrainians, except some places where Russia will take ground with massive losses.
I say that Ukraine should start thinking about withdraw their troops from Avdiivka

Russia has gains, but also Ukraine has gains think that evens it up for Avdiivka no see my post ^ like Bakmut Avdiivka can be used to waste Russian military let them send reserves to the slaughterhouse defending is easyer than attacking. Traditionally, it is accepted that a defending force has a 3:1 advantage over an attacker. In other words, a defending force can hold off three times its own number of attackers. Think it is higher with these meat waves, maybe higher than 5:1.

The Russians is pressing on despite huge losses in men and material.
The speed they have the Russians it may take many month before they have surrounded the town.
Will they succeed in this ? Something tells me they will, but with massive losses.

Do not think they will succeed, they have only 2-3 weeks till weather will be so bad that advancing with armour will not be possible than it is waiting for colder weather in the meantime they must bring in new troops that are not good trained, under equipped, and with ineffective supply lines taking Avdiivka will take longer than Bakhmut. Ukraine can send their reserves there they need not fear Russia will attack elsewhere because defence lines are great to defend, but an offensive will not happen there do not think that they know where they dropped all their mines either so Russia has mined their own offensive on those places by +10-fold.
