Withdrawal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from Avdiivka
On the night of February 17, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrskyi, announced the decision to withdraw Ukrainian troops from Avdiivka, which was under threat of being surrounded by the enemy.
However, Russian forces have not reduced the intensity of their offensive actions after capturing the city. The occupiers have become more active on five other fronts, and Western media are already writing about the most dangerous situation for the Ukrainian Armed Forces since the early months of the full-scale war.
On February 18, Russian forces attempted to storm the village of Lastochkyne west of Avdiivka, but the Defense Forces repelled 14 enemy attacks.
According to the Institute for the Study of War, the Defense Forces will be able to create new defensive lines near Avdiivka and halt the enemy’s further advance.
