Ex-Russian commander Igor Girkin explained why he believes Moscow is struggling to make progress in the Ukrainian city of Avdiivka.
After more than a year of the Russia-Ukraine war, fighting remains largely concentrated in Eastern Ukraine, including Donetsk, one of the two regions that comprise the Donbas, as Putin's troops struggle to attain substantial victories. Russian troops are aiming to take control of several cities in this region, including Avdiivka. Last week, the United Kingdom's Ministry of Defense wrote that Russia has made"creeping gains" in the city.
He also pointed to Russia's attempts to attack"with insufficient forces day after day" as the reason for the slowed invasion. Girkin took aim at military leadership over their handling of fighting in the city. "Our brilliant military leaders are ruining the last remnants of the combat-ready Donetsk infantry, diluted with Russian volunteers and mobilized," he wrote.
Still, he said he believes Russian troops are making more advances in Bakhmut, the site of some of the most intense fighting of the Russia-Ukraine war.
