Russian forces continue to intensify their attacks on Ukrainian positions in the Donetsk region, with little change reported at the front lines despite heavy fire. The General Staff has confirmed that over 45 enemy attacks have been repelled since yesterday, with a focus on key areas such as Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiivka, and Mariinka.
The conflict remains fierce, with 17 air strikes and more than 20 multiple launch rocket system strikes reported. Oleksandr Syrskyi, commander of Ukrainian Land Forces, has stated that the enemy is weakening and attempting to cover up its failures with new fake reports of capturing Bakhmut. However, he also emphasized that every soldier's actions are crucial in determining the outcome of the war.
In Avdiivka, some of the most intense fighting is taking place as Russian forces continue their months-long efforts to dislodge Ukrainian defenses. The General Staff has confirmed that over 20 assaults have been repelled in this area alone. However, Oleksii Dmytrashkivskyi, spokesperson for the military in the zone, noted that there have been some operational successes, including the capture of key positions and a more favorable strategic position.
Russian special forces have also been introduced into the area, according to Dmytrashkivskyi. He added that the enemy is attempting to attack Ukrainian positions between Avdiivka and Mariinka but has suffered significant losses in doing so. The spokesperson claimed that Russian forces are struggling due to a lack of equipment and ammunition, with their "diet" of supplies for assaults becoming increasingly limited.
Social media videos have shown both sides engaging in heavy fire in the Avdiivka area, which the Russians have surrounded on three sides. Denis Pushilin, leader of the self-declared Donetsk People's Republic, claimed that Russian forces are still advancing in this direction, despite his own statements suggesting that encirclement is not yet possible.
Overall, the conflict remains a deeply entrenched and brutal one, with both sides suffering heavy losses. The situation continues to be extremely challenging for both the enemy and Ukrainian forces, as they navigate difficult terrain and weather conditions.

45 enemy attacks repelled in 2 days is insane! 
Ukraine's got some serious skills on their side. I mean, 20 assaults repelled just in Avdiivka alone? 
The fact that Russian special forces are struggling due to lack of equipment and ammo is a major blow 
.
It's like a real-life video game! 
And 17 air strikes? That's some serious firepower on both sides. 
The terrain and weather are harsh enough, but add war to that mix... 
My heart goes out to them.
The conflict's got a lot of momentum on its side. But what does the stats say? 
Over 1 million refugees already displaced, and over $10 billion in damages so far... 
That's some serious human cost.
Maybe it'll lead to some long-overdue peace talks? 
Only time will tell, I guess. 
. It's crazy that Russian special forces are getting deployed into the area, it feels like things are gonna get even more intense 
.
. It's like they're stuck in a never-ending nightmare 
. And Oleksandr Syrskyi saying that the enemy is weakening? That's hard to believe 
. But seriously, it's getting harder and harder for Ukraine to keep up with these attacks... we need to do more to support them

Russian army still at it 
but still getting their backsides kicked 
. Don't know how many times I gotta say it: Russia needs to chill 
and figure out a way to stop all this bloodshed 
despite the odds being stacked against them 
.
. Too many lives lost, too much suffering 
. Let's just hope both sides can find a way to talk things out 
and resolve this conflict peacefully 
.
and we should all be sending our prayers for the soldiers there 
. It's heartbreaking 
seeing the devastation, the rubble, the human cost 
!
