russian forces have resorted to a new tactic on the Avdiivka front. In this way, the occupiers are attempting to prepare a surprise attack on the Ukrainian Armed Forces

This was announced on the telethon by Anton Kotsukon, spokesman for the Marko Bezruchko 110th Separate Mechanised Brigade.

According to the military, such tactics can be used by the occupiers for unexpected underground attacks and for camouflage.

The spokesperson for the 110th Separate Mechanised Brigade mentions that the Ukrainian Armed Forces' intelligence also records the use of remote-controlled robotic vehicles by the occupiers. Thanks to these vehicles, the enemy, in particular, transports ammunition.

"These are quite large machines that can handle a significant load," he said.

Additionally, Kotsukon adds that the occupiers continue their attempts to encircle Avdiivka, despite suffering significant losses.

"They have a lot of resources. Heavy fighting is taking place every day. Every day they throw new and new forces to conduct assault operations: additional personnel, armoured vehicles, aircraft, and artillery," he said.

We will remind that the offensive actions in the Avdiivka direction intensified from the morning of October 10, when the occupiers began their attempts to break through the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. And already four days later, on October 14, it was noted that due to insane losses in armored vehicles, the russian army was forced to switch to infantry assaults.

The enemy keeps trying to encircle Avdiivka, but the Ukrainian soldiers are standing their ground, inflicting major losses on the enemy.
