"Russian Forces Expand Territory Following Avdiivka Victory"

Russian forces have seized three more villages in Ukraine, including Stepove, raising concerns about their growing momentum in the conflict. Western officials warn of ammunition shortages faced by Ukraine's military, with House Republicans blocking $60 billion in U.S. military assistance to Ukraine. The loss of Avdiivka is attributed to the shortage in ammunition, and U.S. officials emphasize the seriousness of the situation, urging Congress to approve the aid package.
