Geolocation images published on 17 January show that Russian forces attacked and occupied a position east of Nevelske (southwest of Avdiivka).
Oleksandr Tarnavskyi, Commander of the Tavriia Operational Strategic Group, stated on 18 January that Russian troops on the Avdiivka front are likely actively employing armoured vehicles to support and deploy infantry. This tactic has resulted in Russian forces losing 41 armoured vehicles, including 17 tanks, over the past three days.
Oleksandr Shtupun, Spokesman for the Joint Press Centre of the Tavriia Defence Forces, noted that Russian forces usually use one or two tanks, several armoured personnel carriers and MT-LBs (tracked armoured vehicles) to transport infantry before a rapid withdrawal. Subsequently, Ukrainian forces target the armoured vehicles.
Russian and Ukrainian sources reported that positional battles are ongoing to the northwest of Avdiivka near Stepove, Novokalynove and Novobakhmutivka; near the Coke Plant to the northwest of Avdiivka and the industrial zone to the southeast of Avdiivka; west of Avdiivka near Severne and southwest of Avdiivka near Pervomaiske and Nevelske. —>READ MORE HERE
