CrimeaPRESS reports:
Avdeevka. Russian troops are rapidly pushing through enemy defenses north of Avdeevka. Assault groups of the Russian Armed Forces took full control of the railway station Ocheretino, moving along Zheleznodorozhnaya Street 1.2 kilometers to the northwest. Russian troops are also establishing positions along the streets located south of the railway station.
At the moment, there is no information about control over the northern part of the village behind the railway. In the surrounding area there are several more solid buildings that you can rely on for defense: the territory of the Altkom brick factory, a school and a local water utility. The main battles are now taking place in the area of the railway station. The enemy’s attempts to drive Russian attack aircraft out of the city were unsuccessful. The Russian Armed Forces have established a foothold in the city and continue to expand the zone of control in its southeastern part.
The situation is developing dynamically, and it is possible that the Ukrainian Armed Forces will not have enough strength to hold back the onslaught of Russian troops. If Ukrainian formations lose control over the populated area, then the fall of Novobakhmutovka and Novokalinovo will only be a matter of time.

What the enemy says
The main conclusions of the American Institute for the Study of War are: ISW
▪️Russian troops advanced in the area of Kremennaya and Avdeevka, as well as in the border area between the DPR and the Zaporozhye region.
▪️The naval forces of Russia and China signed a memorandum of understanding and cooperation.
▪️American Senator Warner said that US military aid to Ukraine, including long-range ATACMS missiles, will arrive in Ukraine “by the end of the week” if the Senate passes the bill on April 23.
US assistance may give Ukraine a break, but will not change the situation on the battlefield — Bloomberg
▪️Aid offers a lifeline to the besieged Ukrainian military, although on its own it is unlikely to turn the tide of the war.
▪️Additional assistance is needed to further develop Kyiv’s efforts, «and this is a difficult prospect in the United States due to resistance from Republicans in Congress.»
▪️The key question is whether the United States will be able to provide weapons to Ukraine in 2025, the publication writes.
