WP: Russian Offensive 2023 in Avdiivka: Zelensky's Bakhmut 2.0 claims Russia Steeped in Heavy Losses

Despite unverified claims that Russia took heavy losses, as much as a brigade's worth of casualties, as Zelensky claims, Russia continues to capture territory on the flanks and Avdiivka is getting closer to an operational encirclement. It is now being compared to Bakhmut and Arestovych says, it is reminiscent of the cities like Severodonetsk, Bakhmut, Lysychansk and several other cities Russia captured in Ukraine.
