Ukraine Frontline Changes Report – Day 718, 11 Feb 2024

Russian forces continue to expand the zone of control in the northern part of Avdiivka city, in the direction of where reinforcement is expected to come (from the road via Lastochkyne).

Reinforcement/resupply is now not expected to be able to pass through to the rest of the Avdiivka city as a result.

Frontline to the main road along the western edge of the city is now merely 200m.


Taking advantage of Ukraine’s inability to reinforce the entire of Avdiivka City (with exception of the Coke Plant area), Russian forces broke through the defense line at the southern neighborhood and at Optyne in a pincer movement.

Any Ukrainian forces at the former Air Defense base is now operationally encircled and will find it nearly impossible to evacuate.


Russian forces took the northern forest west of Novovodyane at the Svatove Front, while Ukrainian forces are geolocated in the southern forest.

Ukrainian armored vehicle hit a mine at the geolocated position east of Yampolivka at the Kreminna Front, causing an expansion of the grey zone in the area previously mapped to be under Russian control.
