"Russian Advance: Desperate Messages and Demolished Defenses in Avdiivka"

Ukrainian soldiers in Avdiivka were left behind and killed as Russian forces captured the town, with reports of wounded soldiers being abandoned and later executed. The soldiers, including a junior sergeant and combat medic named Ivan Zhytnyk, were trapped and unable to escape, despite desperate attempts to be evacuated. Their families received distressing messages from the soldiers as they awaited help that never arrived. The Ukrainian military has launched an investigation into the alleged war crimes, while the 110th Separate Mechanized Brigade stated that they attempted to negotiate with Russian forces for the evacuation of the wounded soldiers, only to later learn of their deaths from a video released by Russian forces.
