"Ukraine's Strategic Moves in Battle for Avdiivka Against Russian Forces"

Avdiivka, a strategic city in Ukraine's eastern Donbas region, is on the verge of being lost to Russian forces, marking a significant battlefield victory for Moscow. The city's defense is becoming increasingly difficult for Ukrainian troops, who are facing shortages of soldiers, weapons, ammunition, morale, and money. The Ukrainian military is considering a partial withdrawal, and the situation poses a critical test for Ukraine's new commander in chief. Both sides are using drones and engaging in street fighting, with the Russians exerting pressure on the city's defenses.
