Russian troops have received minor tactical advantages near Avdeevka, and now the choice of further direction is being made.

The occupying forces can now choose between several tactical directions for the upcoming offensive actions near Avdievka. This is stated in a report by the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW).

It is noted that analysts see several opportunities for the Russian Federation, but it is not yet clear where they will focus their efforts in the near future.

Thus, according to ISW estimates, the stabilization of Russian positions northwest of Avdievka poses the Russian command with a choice:

  • or continue to advance towards the event towards the stated operational goal in Pokrovsk;
  • or try to advance north to conduct possible additional offensive operations around Temporary Yar.

The report also notes that as of April 29, Russian troops had gained minor tactical advantages northwest and southwest of Avdeevka, but had not made significant gains in the Avdeevka direction over the past 24 hours.
