"Russian Seizure in Ukraine: Hundreds of Troops Missing in Chaotic Retreat"

Ukraine suffered losses during a chaotic retreat from Avdiivka as Russian forces seized the city, leaving at least six wounded troops from the 110th Brigade trapped behind enemy lines and later executed. The retreat, ordered by Ukraine’s top military commander, was described as poorly planned and chaotic, with exhausted troops struggling against overwhelming Russian attacks. Despite ultimately capturing Avdiivka, the battle appears to have degraded Russian forces, with a Russian military blogger reportedly dying by suicide after posting about significant Russian losses in the city.
