This emerges from the daily intelligence report from the Ministry of Defense in London on the war in Ukraine on Saturday. The reason for this is probably a combination of the relative effectiveness of Ukrainian anti-tank missiles, mines, drones and precision artillery, it was said. Similar to the Ukrainians during their offensive in the summer, the Russians had therefore resorted to infantry advances. As with previous Russian offensives, the attacks on the industrial city were extremely costly. It is plausible that Russia has suffered several thousand injuries and deaths in the battle for Avdiivka since the beginning of October. “Russia’s leadership continues to show a willingness to accept heavy losses in personnel for marginal territorial gains,” the statement continued.

The British Ministry of Defense has been publishing daily information on the progress of the war since the war against Ukraine began in February 2022. Moscow accuses London of disinformation.
