Battle of Orlivka (Late February - Mid March 2024) The defense of Orlivka was a critical effort to stabilize the front following the Ukrainian withdrawal from Avdiivka. The village served as a key point in the new line of defense along the Berdychi–Orlivka–Tonenke axis. Instead of rapid advance, Russian troops were drawn into slow, attritional fighting. Repeated infantry assaults, supported by glide bombs and drones, failed to produce a decisive breakthrough as Ukrainian forces continued to contest every position. While Russian forces later achieved a breakthrough near Ocheretyne, the fighting in Orlivka slowed Russian momentum and disrupted efforts to quickly expand their gains after Avdiivka.
