Ukraine-Russia Conflict

Ukraine's troops have been forced to retreat from three villages on the eastern front lines as Russian forces gain the upper hand, with Kyiv waiting for U.S. military aid. The situation on the frontlines has worsened, with Russia concentrating its efforts on several directions. The rush for weapons is urgent as Moscow steps up its assault.

The Harrowing Retreat from Avdiivka

The Ukrainian soldiers at the Zenith air-defense base faced a relentless Russian assault with tank, artillery, and mortar fire, leading to the fall of Avdiivka in mid-February. The Ukrainian forces struggled with shortages of ammunition and men, ultimately attributing the loss to the lack of artillery. The retreat was dangerous and costly, with many soldiers losing their lives along the way.
