Avdeevka is under threat of encirclement , warns military expert Julian Röpke.

According to a BILD observer, Russian troops reached the railway line in the north of the city and approached the village of Severnoye in the south. As a result, the width of the corridor through which the Ukrainian Armed Forces group in Avdiivka can be supplied has been reduced to 7 km . The only way to the territories controlled by Ukraine remained through the village of Orlovka.

“If the Russians manage to take Avdiivka, this will complete the Ukrainian counteroffensive,” wrote Röpke
