Moscow reportedly also redeployed troops to the Lyman-Kupiansk sector of the frontline.
Ukraine’s eastern town of Avdiivka is seen as a symbol of resistance since Russia’s invasion in February 2022.
The military says Moscow’s forces have redirected a lot of troops and equipment to Avdiivka, hitting back more than four months into a Ukrainian counteroffensive in the east and south that has encountered stiff Russian resistance. Russia has also intensified air strikes on Danube River ports in the southern Odesa region that have become Kyiv’s main route for food exports since Moscow quit a deal allowing shipments via the Black Sea in July.
He won assurances that military aid would continue even as Western attention turned to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.After months of besieging Avdiivka, Russian forces began their assault on the town this week. “Today the capture or encirclement of Avdiivka is probably the most it can achieve at this stage,” he said.
“The hypothetical capture of Avdiivka will not open new routes of advance to the rest of Donetsk Oblast,” it added, referring to the Russian aim to fully occupy the Donetsk region.
