"Russia's Aggressive Offensive Threatens Ukraine's Eastern City"
Intense fighting continues in the eastern Ukrainian city of Avdiivka as Russian forces launch a major attack, mobilizing thousands of troops and armored vehicles. The city, strategically located near the Russian-occupied Donetsk, has been a target of Moscow's military aggression since 2014. Ukrainian forces are holding their positions, but the Russians are attempting to capture Avdiivka from multiple directions with the support of aviation. Geolocated footage suggests that Russian gains are concentrated to the southwest, and it is unlikely that they will be able to fully capture the well-fortified Ukrainian stronghold. The Russian strategy may be aimed at fixing Ukrainian forces and preventing them from redeploying to other areas of the front.

China's Diplomacy and Military Aggression Raise Risk of Conflict with US
Despite recent military provocations by China, diplomats from both China and the US are engaging in private talks to maintain open lines of communication and ease tensions. While China has been hesitant to participate in military-to-military communication with the US, it has shown renewed enthusiasm for diplomacy in other areas, particularly in trade talks. However, the lack of military communication may result in dangerous blind spots and lead to misunderstandings and miscalculations.
The Ongoing Battle for Bakhmut in the Russia-Ukraine War.
Wagner Group, a Russian mercenary group, has captured 70% of Bakhmut's city center, with founder Evgeny Prigozhin personally raising the Russian state flag over the ruins of the Ukrainian government building. The Ukrainian army still controls western Bakhmut and adjacent areas, but unless a spring counteroffensive is launched, they will likely lose the city to the invading army and mercenary formations. The Russian offensive has ground to a halt on nearly all other directions, with signs of Ukrainian army gathering strength for a counteroffensive.
