It appears that Russian forces are gathering more forces in the Avdiivka area, which may allow them to increase the pace of their offensive.
Russian troops are moving units to different sectors of the front in Ukraine, presumably to launch an offensive in new directions. On Wednesday, March 22, wrote the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
Analysts indicated that the Russians had eased the intensity of fighting in the Bakhmut area, and on March 21 and 22, the Armed Forces of Ukraine launched counterattacks in the southwest and northwest outskirts of the city. In their opinion, this may indicate that Russian troops have partially retreated from Bakhmut to launch an offensive in other sectors of the front.
“Currently, Russian troops are increasing the pace of their offensive operations in the Avdiivka region to surround the settlement, and the invaders are possibly doing this because of their operations in the Bakhmut region and the stalled offensive in the region. Ugledar region,” the ISW notes.
The report also states that the ISW found no confirmation of the presence of the Russian 2nd Motor Rifle Division of the 1st Guards Tank Army (Western Military District), despite reports that it had allegedly re-formed in Belarus and that -deployed in occupied Luhansk.
“The Russians could use this unit in one or more offensives already launched, or in a new offensive,” the report said.
Earlier, the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that the enemy continued to conduct offensive operations in the direction of Bakhmut, but its offensive potential was decreasing.
The aggressor country Russia is gradually adjusting the direction of its strikes from energy to military and logistics facilities.
