Escalation on the frontline
Ukrainian forces recently withdrew from Avdiivka, taking up more advantageous positions further from the city. The commander of the Tavria direction reported that a certain number of Ukrainian fighters had been taken prisoner.
Russian forces have been attempting to occupy Avdiivka since the autumn of 2023. In February, the situation on this front became critical. Fighters from the Third Assault Brigade were redeployed to the Avdiivka area to reinforce the Ukrainian defense.
