Bad news for Putin. It's about his army

As emphasized by Ukrainian General Mykola Malomuzh, after failures the Russians are dividing into small groups towards Avdiivka and are trying to move by sectors to more precisely surround the village. However, the Russians do not have the means for a large-scale offensive, so any propagandistic claims on this subject are false.
Let's recall, that the Russians decided to launch a mass assault from the south and north on October 10th, aiming to cut off the main supply routes for Ukrainian defenders stationed in Avdiivka.
In the north, the Russians made some progress, but despite many attempts, they did not reach the railroad line crucial for the city, and they did not capture the mining mound that rises above the city.
The Russians have achieved these minor advancements at the cost of massive losses. It's worth mentioning that on the northern section, at least 77 destroyed Russian vehicles have been identified, and not all instances are documented in recordings or photographs. The actual losses of the Russians are probably even greater.
As emphasized by Ukrainian General Mykola Malomuzh, after suffering setbacks, the Russians are splitting into small groups towards Avdiyivka and are trying to move sector by sector to more accurately surround the village.
Partially, the Russians are now trying to advance from the south and north, and are throwing more and more resources to surround the settlement. The Russians do not have the means for a large-scale offensive, so any propaganda claims about this are false - said the representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate, Andrii Jusow.
Putin's new strategy
Anton Heraszczenko, advisor to the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs emphasizes that Putin is waiting for the election results in the USA and elections in Russia itself. After this last one, Putin will be able to start a new wave of mobilization. He also hopes that with the emergence of new conflicts, the world will halt or reduce aid to Ukraine.
For Ukraine, this means daily losses in the lives of our defenders and civilian population, destruction of infrastructure, enormous economic losses, deepening psychological trauma, and incredible exhaustion - explains.
