Chaotic withdrawal leads to high losses: Hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers disappear on the Avdiivka front. Up to 1,000 soldiers left behind in Av diivka, according to reports.
The coming months will show whether the capture of the city represents a turning point in the Ukraine war, as the Russian side claims, or if it is just a Pyrrhic victory for the Russians. The retreat was not well planned and implemented, resulting in many falling into the hands of the Russian army.
