WOW! What a... non surprise.
The fall of Avdiivka surprises no one, gains Russia nothing, at a cost they don't want to talk about. It took Russia two years to capture 11 square miles that was flanked on three sides.

Nine months ago, when Backhut was taken, the Russian side cheered saying it was the end of the war. Nine months later Avdiivka falls. The Russian side is cheering saying it is the end of the war.
The reality is Russia has no substantial ability to capitalize and advance further.
