Russian forces pushing westward from Avdiivka are seeking fresh gaps in Ukraine's strained defensive lines.

The ultimate goals of Russian forces pushing westward from the captured fortress city of Avdiivka remain unclear, according to the Institute for the Study of War , as Kyiv tries to stem the Donetsk Oblast offensive and prepare for a larger summer push.

'ISW continues to assess that the continued Russian stabilization of their salient northwest of Avdiivka presents the Russian command with a choice of either continuing to push west toward its reported operational objective in Pokrovsk or trying to drive northward to conduct possible complementary offensive operations with the Russian effort around Chasiv Yar.'Chasiv Yar has for weeks been a center of fighting on the eastern front.
