Hello everybody! After all the events in the Avidiivka sector of the last 48 hours, it’s time for another update. Ah yes… A note before I go on: I’m fabricating disinformation, highly unreliable, a Marxist Neo-Con and Jihadist-supporter working for IRGC, Mossad, MI6 and BND: especially my critique of Israel is making me both ‘anti-Israel’ and ‘anti-Semite’. The mass of what I post here is what I’ve pulled out of my small finger. Therefore, please mind that if you continue reading this feature, you’re doing so at your own risk: I, certainly, cannot recommend anybody doing that.
Thank you, Tom, again, for continuing to bring us your invaluable updates. Not sure how you do it with everything else going on, but thank you. Between Stefan and you, you guys keep my faith in honest reporting.
What’s your take on the situation with munitions, most importantly, 155-mm? To what extent Ukrainian supply is limited by funding holdup in the US, and to what extent those munitions are simply non-existent, not manufactured yet? Do you have any ideas about how many are still held in the warehouses in the US, Europe, and other Ukraine-friendly places?
Thank you, Tom, for the hard work and for providing what information you can credibly find and assess about a situation in which the dust is still settling. I appreciate reading it.
Every good faith reader should understand that the information is very fluid, and that nothing comes with an iron-clad guarantee at this early phase in trying to make sense of the results. It is an iterative process.
Thanks for your efforts trying to give some clarity to this chaotic situation. I’m not surprised that some who believe that Russian forces cannot be defeated are skeptical of the report. So much winning!
It's a pity that you have to put up with some of the drivel people write about your invaluable contributions to our understanding of this atrocious war. I'm sure that you won't be deterred - in fact you may be encouraged. There are more than a few of us who assign high value to your work. Thank you. Keep it up.
1st Sloviansk brigade was (re)built/filled during Avdiivka operation at least 2 times. So, i would estimate its losses ratio at like 120-140% its initial stuff
Thanks for the updates Tom. Very tough days ahead. I hear the Robotyne front is getting hotter as well with the Russians pushing forward.

Tom: first of all, as always, thank you!

Really? Accurate description of Russian losses by units yet no idea on Ukrainian ones!! Wow
There are so many layers of sarcasm that I don't actually understand what is the information.
I'm serious, not trolling.
I can't tell what this article is saying. Was it really bad for Ukraine? Just bad? Or maybe it was worth it?
Maybe you could have a small section which summarizes the information straight, with no editorializing?

Thank you for this valuable report.
Ignore the haters.
You are doing good work which most of your readers appreciate.

Got lucky, I read through and my feelings are not hurt 😉.
Many thanks for deviating from your rule. I personally find this assessments very helpful and find no reason to be mad at you 🤷🏻♂️
"pulls the finger"
Even if its just 2 km on 2 km area - I still dont wanna give an inch to orcs.
If West gave Ukraine artillery ammunition - Avdiivka would be a graveyard for orcs

Thanks, Tom, now I can imagine what a bloody mess was the last hours for the battle for Avidiivka.
