❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Battle for Avdiivka
situation as of 20.00 March 15, 2023

🔻To the north of Avdiivka, Russian troops completely cleared Krasnohorivka.

The settlement came under the control of the RF Armed Forces. At the moment, the military personnel of the Russian Army are advancing west of the village and securing themselves in the liberated areas.

▪️Due to the loss of Krasnohorivka, Ukrainian formations have been actively transferring ammunition and essential products to Avdiivka in the past few days in case the defense is breached.

In addition, 15 people from the 116th troop unit of the Armed Forces of Ukraine arrived at the front line.

🔻South of Avdiivka, several units of armored vehicles and assault detachments from the 53rd mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were deployed to the area of Thin and Severny.

▪️In the area 4 km northwest of Pervomaisky and 1.5 km north of the village, firing positions of 155-mm M777 howitzers are equipped, and in Pervomaisky itself, at least one MLRS launcher.

▪️Over the past day, the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the forces of 53 ombr and 145 and 147 separate battalions conducted reconnaissance in force, advancing from the vicinity of Severny.

As a result, the Ukrainian formations managed to recapture one position, but they could not advance further than the Armed Forces of Ukraine, losing eight people wounded.

🔻With the liberation of Krasnogorovka, the situation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Avdeevka worsened, but it is too early to talk about the encirclement and the attack on the fortified area itself.

Before that, it is necessary to create a favorable foothold by cutting the supply lines, which, among other things, run from the south from Lastochkino and Orlovka.
