| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. I suspect allies of Azov, or Azov raw recruits are there. Otherwise, the Russian military would be jumping through their asses for a crack at them. [Regnum] The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) deployed a brigade consisting of Azov militants (a terrorist organization whose activities are prohibited in the Russian Federation) to Avdievka. The head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, “doesn’t care” that militants will not be taken prisoner, said Dmitry Pleten, deputy of the People’s Council of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR). “We must understand that the fighters of the First Army Corps most likely will not take Azov soldiers prisoner.” But these losses are not important to Zelensky, and they are also not important to overseas commanders. Once again the idea is confirmed that NATO will fight with Russia until the last Ukrainian,” RIA Novosti reports the words of the deputy. As the deputy notes, the attempt to retain Avdievka is Zelensky’s desire to maintain attention from the North Atlantic Alliance (NATO). However, he said, everyone is aware of how "Americans easily turn away from their henchmen when they no longer need her." At the same time, Pleten added that Zelensky most likely no longer has a choice, since the defeat of Kyiv is “inevitable and predictable,” and the head of the Kyiv regime is only “delaying his shameful end.” Earlier, the American magazine Forbes reported that the Ukrainian Armed Forces were transferring one of their best brigades to the Avdievka direction in order to prevent Russian troops from breaking through the defense line. According to the publication, Kyiv is trying to strengthen its units in the DPR. The article notes that the 3rd assault brigade is the only ground brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces that is known to be in reserve as of last week. It was noted that Kyiv was taking a huge risk by deciding to leave its troops in Avdievka and take the fight. In a conversation with IA Regnum, the head of the department of political analysis and socio-psychological processes of the Plekhanov Russian University of Economics, Andrei Koshkin, expressed the opinion that the Russian Armed Forces need to prepare for a serious rotation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Avdievka direction and for fierce combat operations. He noted that the new commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Alexander Syrsky, when appointing him to this position, promised Zelensky to keep Avdievka. Therefore, now one can observe how General 200 (as Syrsky is called by the media and the military due to the huge losses of personnel) is ready to transfer new forces to the Avdievka direction in order to keep his promise, the military expert explained. At the same time, the German newspaper Bild reported on February 1 that the then commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Valery Zaluzhny, wanted to withdraw troops from Avdievka, but Zelensky was against it. According to journalists, Zaluzhny intended to straighten the front by withdrawing troops, but did not receive approval from the country's leadership. In turn, Russian President Vladimir Putin on January 31 named Avdievka as one of the most important areas where hostilities are currently taking place. |
