Units of the 110th Separate Mechanized Brigade, located in Avdiivka, were replaced by other units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This was announced by the head of the public relations service of the 110th separate mechanized brigade named after Corporal General Mark Bezruchka, Ivan Sekach, on Radio Svoboda. He stated that their unit currently does not have enough resources to maintain the city.
"We do not have sufficient capabilities to hold the city, but reinforcements are coming , and we are counting on friendly units... For the first time in almost two years of operation of the 110th separate mechanized brigade, some of our units have been fully withdrawn from combat for rest and rotation. Indeed, reinforcements have arrived. I will not say what this unit is. But this is powerful support, we felt a little calmer when she came," Sekach noted.
He also indicated that the fighting for the city and its surroundings continues in Avdiivka Russian forces, according to Sekach, are trying to cut the supply line using their numerical advantage.
"Our opponents have a complete advantage in aviation, that is, we cannot have any influence on air raids, on the bombing of the city and our positions. They have a huge number of personnel, with whom they do not count, and they constantly experiment in different groups, using armored vehicles. They have a task, and they try to fulfill it in any way they can," he added.
The incident marked the first serious clash between the two sides since Russia stepped up military activity near Avdiivka more than four months ago. The armed forces of Ukraine remain in position, protecting the city from attacks by Russian forces using tanks, armored vehicles, aviation and artillery. The Russian army does not stop trying to capture the city, using various military tactics.
According to Dmytro Lykhovy, more than 900 civilians remain in the city of Avdiivka, wounded by Russian shelling, whose evacuation is currently impossible.
