As an Ukrainian one would not want to be in Avdeevka right now and especially not in the former air defense base directly south of it.

Strana with news from the 3rd (Azov neo-nazi) brigade (machine translated):
At the time of the arrival of the 3rd assault Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Avdiivka , there was not a single whole prepared position left.
This was reported by an engineer of the 3rd OSHBR, whose words are quoted by the Ukrainian military telegram channel Deep State.
"In general, the situation is very similar to the Bakhmut defensive operation, when the infantry of the third assault group was forced to take up defense immediately from the march. And, as in the previous year, not a single position was prepared, because at the time of entry, those ramps that were held by subcontractors were already lost or destroyed," the engineer said.
Deep State considers the transfer of an assault unit to an operational environment to strengthen defensive actions "extremely strange."
And he notes that this decision was made before the change of the commander-in-chief, so you should not consider this rotation the idea of Syrsky.
