With the Vovcha line breached on the Pokrovsk front, Ukrainian forces will need to pull back to high ground and a line of denser settlements back a couple kilometers anyway. Farther the enemy gets from Avdiivka, the harder it will be to sustain operations. Plus there's that long northern flank to worry about.
Let Moscow waste Iskanders, glide bombs, and reserves slowly pushing Ukrainian troops back across the border over the next month. Also serves as a friendly reminder to NATO that there's little need to worry about Moscow launching a serious operation on the ground elsewhere. Give. Ukraine. All. The. Kit.

Excellent assessment as always Konrad 👍. We await developments, hopefully everything will become clearer in the coming days.
I understand that Mr Putin was extremely upset about this loss.
Does it add weight to a limited nuclear exchange ?
