14:20 Battle for Avdievka: advance of the Russian Armed Forces in the south of the city, situation by 14.00 February 1, 2024:

After the capture of the Tsarskaya Okhota fortified area and the consolidation of units of the Russian Armed Forces, the main battles take place on the southern outskirts of Avdievka. Judging by the objective control footage that appeared on the Internet, it was possible to establish that Russian military personnel were able to repel the attacks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and move forward along Sportivnaya Street.

Taking into account the fact that control over it is hardly possible without simultaneous advance along Sobornaya and Chernyshevsky streets, the enemy was also driven back there.

And yet the situation in the area is changing dynamically. Ukrainian tanks retain the ability to relatively safely enter the outskirts of streets and hit Russian infantry almost point-blank, which raises the issue of continuous control and fire engagement of targets in the adjacent Khimik microdistrict.

To the east, the Russian Armed Forces are advancing southwest of the Donetsk filtration station, where they managed to take several enemy strongholds. Rocket artillery and aviation strike the counterattack forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, allowing the Russian Armed Forces to gain a foothold in recently occupied positions.

The walk to the DFS building itself is a little over a kilometer. However, the enemy managed to dig a whole network of strong points in the forest, so there is no talk of quickly capturing the fortified area without a series of assaults.

On the northern flank in the Novokalinovo area, the front line has remained unchanged for several weeks. The site is an open area divided by a railway embankment, and with a large number of FPV drones, neither side is actively seeking to advance here.

The enemy in the Donetsk direction lost up to 310 military personnel wounded and killed. A tank, three armored combat vehicles, and ten cars were hit by anti-tank missile systems and loitering ammunition.
