TL;DR Summary

Ukrainian troops have withdrawn from the town of Avdiivka in eastern Ukraine due to critical shortages of artillery rounds, aiming to prevent encirclement by Russian forces. The withdrawal paves the way for Russia's biggest advance since May 2023 and comes as Ukraine faces delays in receiving U.S. military aid. The loss of Avdiivka may strengthen President Zelenskiy's case for urgent military aid as he addresses the Munich Security Conference, while Russia's aim to secure control of the Donbas region could hand President Putin a battlefield victory.
