Russia is currently on a major offensive targeting Avdiivka, a small Ukrainian city that has managed to hold on despite being on the frontlines for a decade. That Russia is interested in taking Avdiivka is not surprising. What is confusing is the timing. Russia has a presidential election in March. Given the apparent domestic status quo, the election is unlikely to threaten Putin's tenure. But a major failure in Avdiivka might cause that to change. This video offers some explanations for what may be going on here.
