The military-run government is battling insurgencies on several fronts and has suffered defeats in frontier areas since last October, when rebel groups launched a coordinated offensive near the Chinese border.

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.
