Further details about evacuation of #Avdiivka are emerging on Telegram channels of the units involved. The units who held Avdiivka were:
110th Brigade
53th Brigade
47th Brigade
59th Brigade
3th Brigade
“Alpha” and “Omega” special forces units
Border force
National Guard
One of the most critical roles was to secure the evacuation route from the most advanced positions in Avdiivka. This job was undertaken by 225th Brigade and GUR, including RDK (Russian Volunteer Corps), specifically “Timur’s unit”.
Casualties ratio in Avdiivka was described by general Tarnavsky as 1:7 in favour to #Ukraine defenders. OSINT data earlier indicated ratio of 1:13 in confirmed damaged equipment alone. Russia’s human losses since the beginning of January were estimated at 20’000, a number very similar to what Prigozhin called out last year after siege of Bakhmut.
Also note that Ukraine forces did not abandon Avdiivka completely, they just left the positions most exposed to the risk of encirclement in the town centre, to the south (“Zenit”, “Tsarskaya Okhota”) and to the east (“filter station”). Ukrainian forces continue to hold the coke plant and the front line to the north. It very much seems like the lessons from Bakhmut were learned and the most damaging urban fighting was avoided.
