That'll depend on how cold this winter turns out to be. Last one was mild enough that the ground barely froze which wasn't enough to allow for movement of troops and vehicles.

Zaporozhye direction. Scouts gathered info at the forest lines, disclosing targets, and subjected them to heavy Russian artillery.
More and more pickup trucks are being used by the AFU. Two pickup trucks trying to drop off troops and supplies on the forest line gets zapped by FPV drones. This in Zaporozhye.
Fire and smoke rising from Avdiivka. The large black mushroom smoke likely coming from the Avdiivka coke plant and is burning uncontrollably.

Russians are on the offensive actually. One of those 500 meters for a battalion or two of tanks and mechanized troops. Just like Ukrainians. And the only thing they did in the winter was taking over Bakhmut.
To complete the report on the Avdiivka offensive here are some pictures from what's left out of recent Russian attacks
There will be more to come. That is what an offense will cost. It is to be expected.
AFU supply train in the Avdiivka coke plant area destroyed.
AFU Su-25 shot down in Zaporozhye area.
Ukraine troop squad hit by 152mm shell in Zaporozhye area.
Avdiivka waste heap taken over by the Russian Army. The heap provides a strategic height over the Avdiivka area.
Gerans continue to destroy the port and granary infrastructure around Izmail.

Footage has been published showing a Russian kamikaze drone “Lancet” destroying a Su-25 aircraft of the Ukrainian Air Force. This is the second case when a Lancet drone destroys a Ukrainian plane; we previously talked about it. The plane was again destroyed at the Krivoy Rog airfield Dolgintsevo, 70 kilometers from the front line, apparently the Russian army is using new modifications of drones. After the drone hit, a fire started in the Su-25 aircraft.
I think the burning and destroyed AFU train carrying fuel in the Avdiivka coke area is the one responsible for that huge mushroom cloud over the city.
