Bulwark against Putin fallen: Chaos retreat from Avdiivka - Ukrainians are probably leaving soldiers behind. For weeks, the Ukrainian armed forces have been under heavy pressure on many sectors of the front.
According to Western estimates, Moscow has accepted the loss of tens of thousands of soldiers through death or injury since mid-October in order to take the symbolic small town with a former population of 32,000. The retreat from the former bastion is probably chaotic. Russian military bloggers distributed a drone video that clearly documents how Russian soldiers hoist their country's flag on the former coking plant in the industrial city.
