Avdiivka is a suburb of Donetsk, the Russians have been attacking it since 2014. Sure the Ukrainians have obvious supply challenges (it turns out that when the US cuts off Ukraine's supply of artillery shells, that hurts Ukraine's ability to win artillery duels - who could have predicted that!) But there's a massive difference between advancing a couple of kilometers to capture a fortified location where the war started and waging mobile warfare across hundreds of miles - Bakhmut didn't lead to a Russian breakout and neither will Avdiivka for many reasons but principally the simple fact that the Russians don't have even remotely the logistical capacity to support such an operation.
The Russians had “the logistical capacity” to take Berlin in 1945.
I’m not a stalker like some Ukraine Cheerleaders here, so I don’t keep a record of your prior postings. So I’ll just state that just about EVERY ‘expert’ on Russia has been DEAD WRONG on this war, starting with the effect of the ‘sanctions’, which wound up collapsing Europe’s economy, while Russia sailed right through it. Then you have the Western-juiced ‘Counteroffensive’, which achieved about 5% of what the ‘experts’ were predicting all over the Western media.
So don’t take it personally, even the ‘experts’ seem to be CLUELESS as to Russia’s capabilities, so I wouldn’t expect people here to do any better.
For the record, The EU recently approved enough funding to carry Ukraine for the next year.
Further, the US has supplied new rocket propelled smart bombs good for 180 km range that can hit an tank at a tremendous distance. The need for conventional artillery has been diminished by American technology not even presently deployed to our military.
It is now a new game where the Russians are severely outclassed
