I'll tell the reasons why putin took Avdiivka ...in order of importtance :
1.Ukranian shortage of shells
2. the fact putin was willing to sacrifice huge numbers of men and machinery -any cost !
3.the air superiority and the gliding bombs
4.greater numbers of troops
5. insufficient defense lines produced by Ukraine

the result .... a sfety zone for Donetsk
0.01% of Ukraine added to what russia holds
one more city destroyed bty rusisa
