Viktor Biliak of the Ukrainian 110th Brigade told the New York Times about the recent defeat to Russia in Avdiivka:
“The Road To Avdiivka Is Littered With Our Corpses.”
As we read in the New York Times:
Viktor Biliak of the 110th Brigade, which has been defending the city for the past two years, described his evacuation on Thursday of the garrison known as Zenit, in a southern pocket of the city.Mr. Biliak, who uses the call sign Hentai, said his unit was left no time for an orderly exit — neither to evacuate weapons and equipment, nor to burn papers and lay mines in the way of attacking Russian troops.…
“There was zero visibility outside. It was just plain survival. A kilometer across the field,” he wrote. “A bunch of blind cats led by a drone. Enemy artillery. The road to Avdiivka is littered with our corpses.”
Avdiivka is a very important strategic point because it opens access to Pokrovsk, a logistical center for the Ukrainian army:
“Avdiivka is a very important strong point in the Ukrainian system of defense,” because it protects Pokrovsk, about 30 miles to the northwest, a logistical hub for the Ukrainian Army, Mykola Bielieskov, a military analyst at the National Institute for Strategic Studies in Ukraine, said in an interview.
This is yet another sign of Ukraine’s inevitable defeat.
