A “tense and complex” situation on the ground.
The comment by the new commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian armies, Oleksandr Syrsky, after visiting the hottest areas of the Eastern Front sounds like an admission of concern, at the dawn of the two-year anniversary of the Russian offensive in Ukraine and while the Ukrainian presidency still displays its objective of retaking the nearly 20% of the national territory occupied by Moscow.
The land front has frozen, extended over several hundred kilometers, with trenches and targeted offensives initiated by Russia.
Like what is currently happening in Avdiivka, an industrial city in eastern Ukraine, the scene of violent fighting for several months.
On site, the precarious position of the Ukrainian forces, who are resisting despite the violence of the attacks, is expected to become even more fragile.
The city's mayor Vitaly Barabach described in recent days a "critical" situation and the first "street fights".
