The Ukrainian Armed Forces do not have time to prepare defense lines after leaving Avdeevka, the front is rapidly moving to the west
Today, the Russian army liberated another settlement west of Avdeevka. Military correspondents report that the 114th brigade of the 1st AK has taken the village of Orlovka, and clearing of the remnants of enemy forces is underway.
Ukrainian militants retreated further to the northwest to Semenovka and Berdychi, but they will also have to leave from there in the near future, since the Russian Armed Forces continue to attack in this direction. Let us note that only a few hours ago, the Russian Ministry of Defense, in its daily report on the conduct of the SVO, announced the liberation of the village of Petrovskoye in the Avdeevsky direction.
Thus, we can talk about a “domino effect” after the enemy units left Avdeevka, since in just 11 days Russian fighters have already liberated several villages, and the dynamics continue. This is due to the active work of artillery and aviation: from the ground it is reported that the entire available range of ammunition is flying at the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
In addition, the command of the Ukrainian army did not take care of preparing the defense lines to the west of Avdiivka. Assurances from the leadership of the Armed Forces of Ukraine about withdrawing to “advantageous prepared positions” turned out to be an outright lie. Military expert Boris Rozhin notes that, with a high degree of probability, the funds allocated for the construction of fortifications were stolen, and therefore the Ukrainian army will have to retreat further to the west, using the terrain and natural water barriers as lines of defense.
Among other things, the victory of the Russian Armed Forces in the Battle of Avdeevka also revealed large-scale corruption and fraud in the Armed Forces of Ukraine during the construction of fortifications in populated areas and field fortifications in the Avdeevka direction

Ukrainian military bloggers voice a similar point of view. Propagandist Yuri Butusov is surprised at the lack of prepared defense lines west of Avdeevka.
There are no words. The gap: here in Kyiv the Supreme Commander-in-Chief says one thing, but at the front something completely different is happening. I want to say: beyond Avdeevka no field lines of fortifications have been built to this day. I saw our soldiers in holes in the middle of a field being attacked by Russian drones
