CNN's Christiane Amanpour reports on the dire situation in Ukraine, where the delay in aid has left the country outmanned and outgunned as Putin's invasion continues into its third year.
Russian troops are making significant gains towards Avdiivka, posing a critical situation for Kyiv's forces, with Ukrainian Telegram channels warning of the town's potential fall to Moscow. The capture of Avdiivka is seen as pivotal in Russia's objective to gain control of the southeastern Donbas region, and the acute ammunition shortage has been exacerbated by the U.S. Congress withholding further military aid to Ukraine. The loss of Avdiivka would limit Ukraine's ability to launch counteroffensive operations against Russia in Donbas, and the situation is described as stable but trending for the worse, with a good chance that the town will eventually be lost to Russian forces.
