"Escalating Conflict: Avdiivka's Tenuous Hold Against Russian Forces"

TL;DR Summary
Ukrainian forces in Avdiivka are facing a critical situation as Russian troops attempt to surround the city, with reports of chaotic and street-by-street fighting. The exhausted and undermanned defenders are struggling with equipment and ammunition shortages, while political gridlock in Washington is exacerbating the situation. The battle for Avdiivka is drawing comparisons to the nine-month siege of Bakhmut, with concerns that the city could become a second Bakhmut for Ukraine if the Russian assault continues.
