The last Ukrainian stronghold in Avdiyivka, the publication writes, will likely be the destroyed coke factory
It is only a matter of time before Kiev loses the warlike city of Avdiivka by the Russian forces according to the American newspaper Wall Street Journal which even cites Ukrainian sources.
The last Ukrainian stronghold in Avdiyivka, the publication writes, will probably be the destroyed coke factory.
If Avdiivka is captured, WP writes, Russian troops will win “the most important victory on the battlefield from the failure of the Ukrainian counteroffensive” in 2023 – and this will be “the clearest sign that Russian troops regain the initiative, since Kiev he has no soldiers, weapons, ammunition, morale and money.’
The Ukrainian military announced that it had begun a partial withdrawal of troops from the city, a major fortified area of ​​the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the outskirts of Donetsk.
Russian troops launched an offensive against Avdiivka in October 2023suffering significant losses. Since early 2024, the Russian military has been trying to cut off the coke plant from the city, which is the main supply line for the Ukrainian armed forces. Russian and Ukrainian sources said on Thursday that Russian troops had captured the main entrance to the city.
