The advance of Russian troops west of Avdiivka in the Donetsk region has accelerated over the past week, the British Ministry of Defense reports.
As noted in the report, Russian ground forces have created a narrow salient further into Ukrainian territory to enter the town of Ocheretyne, located about 15 km north of central Avdiivka.
According to British intelligence, since Russian forces took control of Avdiivka in mid-February 2024, the area has remained one of the main areas of Russian operations.

“Despite sustaining continued high losses, it is highly likely that RGF are able to continuously target Ukrainian positions in the area and have taken control of several small settlements,” the British Ministry of Defense said.
