The Battle for Avdiivka: What Draws Russia to This Fortified City
Ғылым және технология
The Russia-Ukraine war unfolds like a never-ending series of thrilling episodes, each one keeping us on the edge of our seats, heart pounding with uncertainty. This time, the spotlight shines on the fortified city of Avdiivka, a strategically vital city in eastern Ukraine, located near Donetsk, which is controlled by Russia. Avdiivka stands as a heavily fortified stronghold, nestled in a precarious pocket, surrounded on three sides by enemy forces.
In this ongoing episode, the fighting in this area is really intense as Russian forces relentlessly attack the city. The air is filled with the loud noise of artillery and gunfire, creating big explosions that light up the night and make the place look scary and destroyed. But what drives Russia's relentless pursuit of Avdiivka, and what might the city symbolize in the larger storyline of this ongoing war?

Avdievka is the most fortified location in Ukraine, for years. It is used to shell 1 mil Donetsk city daily, so it's politically important to capture it.

I thought Bakhmut -Soledar was? Didn't the Ukrainians store their NATO supply weapons in the caves there? I read that this region had the largest cave rooms in all of Europe and they had a photo of the inside of one and it was huge, it looked like a giant underground room and I was thinking they kept a lot of their arsenal there?

Avdviivka provides Ukraine with a crucial artillery advantage over Donetsk ! Yes the civilians in Donetsk have been well aware of that for a long time, maybe western media could cover that "advantage" as well eventually.

You failed to mention that Donetsk city is a capital of Ukrainian separatists and it was not under Kiev control since 2014. Avdievka is used to shell Donetsk, a city with 1 million population, since 2014 and since that time Avdievka is fortified.

2014 pro Western coup was a trigger, but root cause is a differences in Eastern Ukraine (joined Moscow duchy 1654, before Russian empire was even founded) and Western Ukraine annexed only 1939 by Soviets and combined with eastern Ukraine. Western Ukraine wasn't part of Grand Duchy of Lithuania (modern Lithuania + Belarus), it was under direct Poland rule. During 1772-1795 Rzhechpospolita partitions, Grand Duchy of Lithuania got under Russian Empire, but Western Ukraine went under Austria-Hungarian empire. Western Ukraine was never part of Russian Empire, while Eastern Ukraine joined Moscow before Russian Empire was even formed. This explains extreme hatred of Western Ukrainians to anything related to Russia, not shared at all by Eastern Ukrainians. This difference in culture and regional elites made a civil war inevitable. Like in Yugoslavia, it was just a matter of time.

@@corvus4135 It can be compared that is why we are seeing a similar war of fracturing semi-artificial constructs from post-WW2. It's Cold War after-shocks. Your remarks about lack of hatred towards Poles and Hungarians shows your complete lack of knowledge of the region. Ukrainians straight up genocided Poles during WW2 in Western Ukraine, look up "Massacres of Poles in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia".
It will be painful to take Avdiivka but it's strategic importance is worth it.

Think Avdievka is strong enough to hold out for years to come? Look like this place is slowly getting taken over just like Bakhmut. Let say if Avdievka is capture, what next? Do Ukraine have to find another city to fortify? And I take it that Russia is putting pressure on all front of contact line.

You do know this is a full scale war against a former superpower? Of course it’s gonna take up lots of money (military equipment value)
From this location "the morning wake-up call" was given daily in Donetsk for over 8 years, that's why the forces decided to interrupt this "usual" for the Ukrainians The propagandistic judgment of the Ukrainian bureaucrats, attracts sympathy only for those who recently found out where Ukraine is located ... and knew nothing about what is happening/happened in the region. If they are surrounded, the Ukrainians will lose more than soldiers and military equipment...it was seen before at Mariupol, at Azosthall at Bahmut...that depends on the distance of supply and the constant supply... The experience, time and power of the army are in in favor of Russia,. Russia adapted very quickly to the fighting conditions, bringing newer, stronger, more efficient weapons...for those fortifications, I'm not surprised that they don't use anti-bunker shells with thermibaric or incendiary charges
