"Avdiivka's Last Stand: Ukrainian Brigade's Ammo Shortage Leads to Stronghold City's Fall"

Russian troops breached the Ukrainian stronghold of Avdiivka after a long and bloody campaign, potentially culminating in the city's fall. The Ukrainian 110th Mechanized Brigade, lacking ammunition due to U.S. aid blockades by Russia-aligned Republicans, has been defending the city for months. Despite reinforcements, the brigade has been unable to rotate out for rest, leading to a critical shortage of supplies. The Russians took advantage of bad weather to infiltrate the city, posing a significant threat to the Ukrainian garrison's supply lines. If Avdiivka falls, it would be the first Ukrainian city captured by the Russians since Bakhmut, with the Republicans bearing much of the blame for depriving the Ukrainians of ammunition.
