Hundreds captured in Avdiivka? Ukraine army contradicts its own soldiers. Moscow only took the completely destroyed small town with dramatic losses.
The Russian army is said to be mourning around 17,000 soldiers killed in and around the city. Another 30,000 Russian soldiers are said to have been wounded in the fighting for the former industrial city. The information cannot be independently verified. But: Ukrainian losses are also high. This is suggested by reports from Ukrainian soldiers of the 3rd Assault Brigade, who pulled trapped units out of the city at the last minute.
