Fighting near Avdiivka has become routine, the frontline has stabilized, and Russia is advancing — 3rd separate assault brigade

He said this during a national telethon.

Oleksandr Borodin noted that the frontline near Avdiivka has stabilized, and the fighting has become "routine". He also stated the brigade is in a "steady" defense, while the Russian troops continue to advance.

"But this cannot be compared to what was happening in the city. It is routine, we can work, the frontline has stabilized, we are in our area of responsibility," Borodin said.

He noted that the number of Russia's attacks has decreased, as Russia suffered serious losses during the battle for Avdiivka.

"Two brigades lost their combat readiness, it had an impact. If there had been no KABs factor, everything would have been different. We also need effective counter-battery work, radars, ammunition and artillery systems," the military said.
