Forbes Reports Ukraine's Armed Forces Plan to Deploy Top Brigade in Avdiivka

Ukrainian armed forces are planning to deploy one of their best brigades to maintain the frontline in Avdiivka, according to Forbes.

The media outlet assesses that such a step by the Ukrainian military command was not obvious, as "by deciding to stay and fight, Ukrainian forces are taking significant risks." Forbes believes that replacing Valerii Zaluzhnyi with Oleksandr Syrskyi as the chief commander of the Ukrainian armed forces could signal President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's intention to fight for Avdiivka "even at a high cost."
