Russia has stepped up attacks on the eastern Ukrainian city of Avdiivka
According to Ukrainian reports, Russia has intensified its attacks on the eastern Ukrainian city of Avdiivka. "The enemy has significantly stepped up its activities in recent days. They are using armored vehicles," said Oleksandr Tarnavsky, the Ukrainian commander responsible for the area, on Wednesday.
According to him, the Russian armed forces carried out almost 20 air strikes and fired four rockets and more than a thousand artillery shells. The Ukrainian armed forces held their ground, he said, but this could not be independently verified at first.
The Russian army has recently concentrated its activities on the industrial site of Avdiivka in the Donetsk region, which now appears to be surrounded by Russian forces. Neither side has been able to announce any significant successes on the battlefield in recent weeks.
