Adviivka*
Chuck another few thousand Russian conscripts into the grinder and perhaps you can use the Russian spelling legitimately.
God only knows the Russians think its worth it. Or at least their military leaders do.

I think this guy is overblowing the strategic importance of holding Avdiivka. If you look at his twitter feed, it's clear that he's an ultra-hawkish guy whose agenda is to maintain or even expand the arms supplies to Ukraine. Imho, that's why he's going "oh no, Ukraine might still actually lose if we don't send them even more arms".
Every chance Ukraine retreats from there. The astounding point is how much material and lives the Russians are willing to pour into making nominal gains.
