Legion of Freedom officer Maksym Morozov said that it is too early to predict the development of events in the Avdiivka direction due to active and dynamic fighting in this area of the frontline

He said this on the Espreso TV channel.

"We have to fight for every meter of Ukrainian land. Heroism and titanic work are great, but there must be timely delivery of ammunition and purchased drones. Because war is not only about the heroism of personnel, but also about efficient logistics. The further situation in the Avdiivka direction will depend on this," explained Morozov.

The officer noted that the Defense Forces are trying to improve the situation in the Avdiivka direction.

"Everything can happen in the Avdiivka area, as the fighting is very intense and dynamic. The industrial area may become a gray zone of combat operations, or it may come to street fighting in the city. Today, the Avdiivka direction is a very difficult section of the frontline where the enemy is conducting active offensive actions and we are trying to hold them back. It is difficult to talk about the future. The enemy has local temporary successes. Of course, we are preparing for the worst, but we are also trying to improve the situation," he added.

  • Officer of the 59th Separate Motorized Infantry Brigade named after Y. Handziuk Serhiy Tsehotskyi noted that Russian forces had focused all their attention on the Avdiivka direction.
  • On November 30, the spokesperson of the joint press center of the defense forces of the Tavria sector, Oleksandr Shtupun, said that the Avdiivka Coke Plant was under the control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
  • On December 2, the American Institute for the Study of War reports that Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu continues to lie about the Russian army's offensive efforts in Ukraine as part of "active defense" of Avdiivka, trying to reduce expectations about the ability of the Russian military to achieve operationally important objectives
