"Russian Forces Make Significant Advances in Eastern Ukraine Amid Heavy Air Strikes"

Kremlin forces have made significant ground gains near Avdiivka, Ukraine, using heavy air strikes and long-range glide bombs, despite Ukrainian defenses holding strong. The Russian military has intensified attacks in the Avdiivka sector, with reports of ground assaults following heavy air and artillery strikes. Ukrainian forces lack sufficient air defense systems due to a halt in American military aid, allowing Russian bombers to launch glide bombs with impunity. Ukrainian President Zelensky stated that the only way to counter the Russian glide bombs is to increase the range of their air defenses. The situation remains tense, with reports of Russian air strikes in multiple sectors and weakening Ukrainian air defenses.

Ukrainian General Syrsky Acknowledges Command Failures in Donetsk Offensive

Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrsky acknowledged "miscalculations" by individual commanders in the Avdiivka sector, where Russian assault units are attempting to breach Ukrainian defenses and seize control of settlements. Syrsky outlined his primary tasks, including effective utilization of combat capabilities, destruction of Russian artillery and armored vehicles, and maintenance of occupied positions. Analysts predict that Russian forces may target settlements west and northwest of the city in the coming weeks, but the terrain and water bodies in the area are likely to impede their advance. The recent change in command was dismissed as a conflict between former Commander-in-Chief Valery Zaluzhny and President Volodymyr Zelensky by Ukraine’s military intelligence head, Kyrylo Budanov.
