What is the situation in the Avdiivka direction
- The New York Times called Avdiivka a Ukrainian stronghold in the Donetsk region. Taking Avdiivka would be a strategic success for Russia—the city is the linchpin of Ukrainian defense in the region—and would deal a blow to Ukrainian morale.
- Back in March, the Defense Forces said that Avdiivka could become a second Bakhmut, where heavy fighting continued. The situation remains difficult to this day – the city is under fire around the clock, and assault operations in the direction do not stop. The occupiers compensate for all their failures on the battlefield with massive shelling of the city where civilians are still located.
- The Russians are also trying to find a well between the destroyed Marinka and Avdievka in order to enter in this direction.
- Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny, commenting on the defense of Avdiivka and Bakhmut, said that if the forces are not enough, then it is better to save people, and only then recapture the territories.
- On the morning of December 29, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that the Defense Forces over the past 24 hours repelled 14 attacks in the Avdeevsky direction east of Novobakhmutovka, Avdeevka and 12 attacks in the Pervomaiskoye and Nevelskoye areas of the Donetsk region.
Below is an extract from a web page. Evaluate whether the page has a high educational value and could be useful in an educational setting for teaching from primary school to grade school levels using the additive 5-point scoring system described below. Points are accumulated based on the satisfaction of each criterion:

- Add 1 point if the extract provides some basic information relevant to educational topics, even if it includes some irrelevant or non-academic content like advertisements and promotional material.
- Add another point if the extract addresses certain elements pertinent to education but does not align closely with educational standards. It might mix educational content with non-educational material, offering a superficial overview of potentially useful topics, or presenting information in a disorganized manner and incoherent writing style.
- Award a third point if the extract is appropriate for educational use and introduces key concepts relevant to school curricula. It is coherent though it may not be comprehensive or could include some extraneous information. It may resemble an introductory section of a textbook or a basic tutorial that is suitable for learning but has notable limitations like treating concepts that are too complex for grade school students. 
- Grant a fourth point if the extract highly relevant and beneficial for educational purposes for a level not higher than grade school, exhibiting a clear and consistent writing style. It could be similar to a chapter from a textbook or a tutorial, offering substantial educational content, including exercises and solutions, with minimal irrelevant information, and the concepts aren't too advanced for grade school students. The content is coherent, focused, and valuable for structured learning.
- Bestow a fifth point if the extract is outstanding in its educational value, perfectly suited for teaching either at primary school or grade school. It follows detailed reasoning, the writing style is easy to follow and offers profound and thorough insights into the subject matter, devoid of any non-educational or complex content.
