SITUATION IN UKRAINE: October 12 – 18, 2023.
Over the past week, no significant territorial changes have occurred at the front. In the Donetsk region, Russian troops increased pressure on the city of Avdiivka, trying to encircle the city. Still, within a few days, the fighting there moved into the stage of small-scale infantry assaults and slowed down, just like on the Zaporizhzhia front.
