On October 19, General Valeriy Zaluzhnyi, Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, visited the Avdiivka and Kupyansk sectors. The needs of the units were discussed with the commanders and brigade commanders, and a sequence of actions was determined “taking into account the constant change in the operational situation.”
This was reported on Valeriy Zaluzhnyi’s telegram channel.
“There are no simple frontline areas in war. There are only those where it is more difficult. Now it is Avdiivka. Here, the enemy keeps trying to break through our defense and surround the city,” Zaluzhniy said.
The Russians are actively deploying assault units and throwing in a large number of armored vehicles, using aviation and artillery. Despite this, Ukrainian soldiers continue to heroically repel the attacks, destroying enemy manpower and equipment.
“We determined the sequence of our steps with the commanders and brigade commanders performing tasks in the Avdiivka sector, taking into account the constant change in the operational situation and discussed the priority needs of the units,” the Ukrainian Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief said.
In addition, Zaluzhnyi noted that work was carried out in the Kupyansk sector, where Russian troops continue to conduct offensive operations.
“Our guys and girls are holding the line in extremely difficult conditions,” the commander summarized.
As a reminder, “Flot 2017” reported that Ukrainian forces are holding the line on the eastern front: the occupiers have resumed their offensive on Avdiivka and are putting pressure on the Kupyansk direction. But near Bakhmut and in the Melitopol sector, the Ukrainian Armed Forces continue their offensive.
It was also reported that the Russian occupiers intensified their assaults not only in the area of Avdiivka and Kupiansk, but also near Maryinka.

We also worked in the Kupiansk sector, where the occupants continue their offensive. Our guys and girls are holding the line in extremely difficult conditions.
I thank each brigade and all the defenders who are fighting for Ukraine.
Together – to Victory!“
