The Russian occupation troops under the command of Valery Gerasimov , who replaced Sergei Surovikin in this position , suffered major defeats in the Donetsk direction. The Armed Forces of Ukraine managed to defeat the enemy near Avdiivka and Vuhledar.
This information was shared by The Moscow Times , citing propaganda Telegram channels and Russian military correspondents controlled by the Kremlin. The offensive of the Rashists near Ugledar began at the end of January, but quickly stalled. As a result of only one battle, the invaders lost 30 pieces of equipment and hundreds of soldiers.
A Telegram channel close to the Wagner PMC reported that the army was unable to plan an operation to capture the city. At the level of headquarters, another crisis is observed in the command and control of troops and the course of hostilities. Losses near Ugledar were suffered by the 155th Marine Brigade of the Pacific Fleet. Earlier, the Armed Forces of Ukraine defeated the specified unit near Pavlovka. After that, the Marines wrote an open letter to the governor of Primorsky Krai, in which they complained about the command and huge losses.
The destruction of two assault infantry groups of Russians near Avdeevka was reported by terrorist Igor Strelkov-Girkin . He called many of the generals in the occupying forces “complete cretins.”
“Uncovered from the air and by EW forces, the advance of tank and motorized columns along narrow roads along rare forest plantations on ideally flat terrain (since there are minefields on the sides) ended in defeat,” Strelkov-Girkin wrote, noting that this was the end of “the offensive of the Russian army on the entire Donetsk front.
