Soldiers with Ukraine's 3rd Assault Brigade redeployed to Avdiivka direction

This is according to the brigade's press service.

"The 3rd Detached Assault Brigade affirms its urgent redeployment to reinforce Ukrainian troops in the Avdiivka area. The city's situation, at the time of our brigade's arrival, is extremely critical," the statement declares.

Separate battalions of the 3rd Detached Assault Brigade executed a raid in Avdiivka enemy-occupied zones. During their presence in the Avdiivka direction, two Russian Federation armed forces brigades sustained critical damage.

"Despite these actions, the situation in Avdiivka remains threatening and unstable. The enemy persists in actively rotating its troops, deploying additional forces and resources to the city," the brigade emphasized.

Latest updates on the Avdiivka front

Oleksiy Hetman, a Russian-Ukrainian war veteran and reserve major, emphasized that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have no plans to abandon Avdiivka.

On February 14, Oleksandr Tarnavskyi, the commander of the operational-strategic group "Tavria," reported that in the first two months of 2024, Russian occupiers conducted a significant number of airstrikes on Ukrainian military positions in the Avdiivka direction.

Throughout the day, there were 64 combat clashes on the front lines. Defense forces successfully repelled over 61 enemy attacks across eight directions, with a focus on Avdiivka and Marinka.

Ivan Kyrychevsky, a Defense Express expert, suggested that the destruction of the Russian column in the Avdiivka direction indicates the likelihood that the Armed Forces have reserves prepared for the defense of Avdiivka.

The latest map of hostilities from February 8-14 indicates a worsening situation on the front, with Avdiivka facing a crucial moment for its survival.
