Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The Russian Armed Forces planted the Russian flag over a waste heap in Avdievka, Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), over which there were intense battles for several weeks.

As Izvestia reports, along with the Russian flag, the scarlet banner of the 114th Separate Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade also flaunts above the waste heap.

Creating a waste heap and calling it peace?

As Regnum reported, the development of the offensive of the Russian Armed Forces near Avdievka became known in October. The Telegram channel “Operation Z: Military Correspondents of the Russian Spring” on October 12 reported that Russian fighters had captured a waste heap near the Avdievka Coke and Chemical Plant , which is an important dominant height.

The British magazine The Economist noted on October 15 that one of the largest offensives of the Russian army since the spring of 2022 began near Avdievka. London journalists expressed fears that Ukrainian Armed Forces units would be surrounded .

On October 20, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny reported in his Telegram channel that he visited Avdievka in the DPR, which is under the control of Kiev. He said that the Russian army continues to advance in the Kupyansk direction, so the Ukrainian military is defending itself in “extremely difficult conditions.” He also said that Russian troops are trying to encircle Avdievka and have attracted a large number of armored vehicles, as well as aviation and artillery to do this.

Avdievka is part of the Donetsk agglomeration. From this territory, Ukrainian militants are shelling the capital of the DPR.

#2 Avdievka is where a coke processing plant is. The waste heap is a by prpduct, and the Ukrainians (and now the Russians) have been using it for spotting artillery into Donetsk city, since it is at a height that enables that.

#4 I think the Russians planting a pair of banners on a waste heap, and the Ukrainian response, is an apt metaphor for the war in Ukraine.
