Russia may capture the eastern city of Avdivka in Ukraine. The United States gave this warning on Thursday (February 15). The British media reported the news.
US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby, citing Ukraine’s ammunition shortage, said Avdivka was at risk of falling under Russian control. May face a major decline.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, calling for something to be done to prevent Russian aggression, said that the lives of Ukrainians should be saved as far as possible. Russian forces have threatened to occupy Avdivka.
Regarding military assistance, John Kirby said that the United States was supposed to provide military assistance to Ukraine. But that bill has not been passed yet. At this time the weapons were needed to resist the Russian invasion.
According to reports, Russian forces have entered the Abdivka region. They have already started breaking the Ukrainian defense system.
Meanwhile, Ukraine announced a partial withdrawal of troops from Avdivka on Thursday. The country said that these troops will be deployed in a more advantageous position in the ongoing fight against the Russian army.
According to reports, the town of Avdivka was almost destroyed by the Russian invasion. The city was illegally annexed by Moscow after Russian-backed fighters took control in 2014.
