An episode from the Battle of Avdiivka
by Ukraine’s 47th Mechanized. No words. I’m speechless, to be honest. https://twitter.com/IAPonomarenko/st...78630134136972 In video:The Russians don’t even care about their own comrades, first they drag their wounded comrade over the battlefield and then somewhere in the middle they just let him lie there and rob his coat or blanket. Zombie Warfare In Avdiivka waves after wave of Russian infantry is being sent at Ukrainian positions around the embattled city of Avdiivka with little to no success. The fields are just littered with corpses in response, Ukraine is employing diverse weapons including artillery, mortars, grenades, and drones, as well as the 25mm Chain Gun cannons fired from U.S.-supplied M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles. Count the dead Russians lying around on this small area, confirmation that the figures on the number of killed Russian soldiers are quite real. These highly attritional infantry led ground assaults to compensate for Russian heavy equipment losses will not lead to a rapid Russian advance in the area.

WOW, fantastic News...........!,OK, be serious now......!. Don't believe i'm happy with that!
Ukrainians must ‘grow up’ – security chief Aleksey Danilov warned his compatriots that the West would not be “feeding us” indefinitely, adding that harder times lie ahead. https://www.rt.com/news/587958-danil...rt-hard-times/ A hard truth about the Russia-Ukraine conflict is finally dawning on the West American observers are finally snapping out of “magical thinking” about Moscow’s defeat. On November 16, the Wall Street Journal, one of the most prestigious and influential American media outlets, published an essay under the title “It’s Time to End Magical Thinking About Russia’s Defeat.” The message is simple: “Putin” (by which they mean Russia) has “withstood the West’s best efforts” to roll back the military operation against Ukraine; Moscow’s political system has proven resilient and even become stronger; and “America and its allies” must now switch to a strategy of “containment.” https://www.rt.com/russia/587924-tru...aine-conflict/ Zelensky flags new military conscription drive Ukraine will announce new mobilization measures soon, the president has said. Ukraine has been under pressure to make up the losses incurred in the four-month “counteroffensive” on the southern front, which Russia has estimated at over 90,000 men. The West has been pushing Zelensky to expand the conscription age to men aged 17-70 and mobilize more women, Russian intelligence said earlier this week. Kiev has neither confirmed nor denied these claims. Ukraine needs to realize some “unpleasant things,” she said, such as that the Russians “simply physically have more people” while Ukraine has a smaller army that “will not get larger” and fewer weapons. https://www.rt.com/russia/587953-zel...-mobilization/ Russia’s economy growing three times faster than Eurozone – Guardian GDP is forecast to expand 1.5% in 2024 against the euro area’s 0.5%. Western sanctions have so far failed to halt Russia's economic growth, which is now projected to outpace that of the Eurozone, the Guardian reported on Thursday, citing investment firm Amundi. “It means that the United States, Europe, Japan, Australia – the major developed countries – are unable to sanction a country effectively... We can deplore it, but it’s a reality,” Amundi CIO Vincent Mortier said at a news conference in Paris. https://www.rt.com/business/587897-r...wth-sanctions/ Sanctions against Russia ‘impoverishing EU’ – French MEP Thierry Mariani said restrictions against Moscow had backfired on the countries that imposed them. In an interview aired on Saturday, Mariani said sanctions had been intended to “ruin” the Russian economy, but “on the contrary, they impoverish us.” https://www.rt.com/news/587780-maria...verish-europe/

[Focus] Few places on the front line of the war in Ukraine are currently in the spotlight as much as Avdiivka. The town, near the Russian-controlled Donbass capital of Donetsk, has been the scene of several Russian attacks in recent weeks and months. Military experts say the situation is critical for Ukraine.
Gustav Gressel of the European Council on Foreign Relations told the Welt am Sonntag newspaper: "Over the winter, the Ukrainians must keep Russian losses high and their own low in order to create breathing space for next spring." The problem in Avdiivka: the railway line. The further the Russians advance, the harder it will be for Ukraine to resupply. And Austrian army commander Markus Reisner, who has been regularly assessing the war for months, says it is highly likely that Ukraine will lose the city: "Unless a miracle happens, such as a counterattack by the Ukrainian 47th mechanised brigade, Avdiivka will fall." International observers such as the US-based Institute for the Study of War (ISW) have confirmed the fierce fighting around Avdiivka. Russian troops are trying to encircle the Ukrainian defenders in the town. According to the British Ministry of Defence, the wet autumn weather is currently making the fighting difficult for both sides.

I doubt winter can come too soon for either side.

Avdiivka is unlike Bakhmut, right there's not going to be one major key roadway that allows them to resupply forces that if Russia can cut it off all of it will fall. Avdiivka just has a whole wider number of roads criss-crossing through Ukrainian held territory, and Russia has a lot of more work to do in order to sever these roads from the Ukrainian defence. The battle for Avdiivka will be harder for Russia than the battle for Bakmut was.
