Avdiivka: a town located just 20 kilometers away from the invaders' command hubs in Donetsk. A 15-minute drive by car. Avdiivka itself was a stronghold of Ukrainian forces during the whole 8 years, intermittently enduring shelling. However, with the onset of a full-scale invasion, the city is relentlessly bombarded, disregarding the presence of over 3000 locals. The enemy aims to turn the city into a combat zone, hindered by the tall buildings, which are dwindling by the day.
This sector remains under the control of the Ukrainian Defense Forces, with the specialized unit of the National Guard «Omega» actively engaged.

The soldiers of «Omega» say that they've got used to enemy's statements, claiming that the city is nearly surrounded and that Ukrainian forces won't be able to break their defensive line.
Prior to the full-scale invasion, this was the base for Ukrainian troops, serving as the closest point to Donetsk. Today it stands as one of the most challenging sections of the front because the enemies were entrenching and preparing themselves for 9 years. Hence, Ukrainian military personnel now realize that holding the line and even driving out the enemy require not just strength, but also cunning and ingenuity.
Today, the enemy is persistently trying to advance towards the city, yet they remain distant, not approaching closer than 6 kilometers with their vehicles. Currently the occupiers are trying to advance solely with infantry, which our scouts spot and swiftly neutralize. As a result, a few enemy soldiers with raised hands make it to our positions. The enemy who hasn't surrendered and attempted to storm our positions is cut off from their logistical hubs. We witness them digging in and come out twice a day to drink water from puddles. Invaders can't feel safe in this sector.
War embraces progress. When we can't outnumber the enemy, we surpass them with technology.
