Ukraine has been compelled to withdraw entirely from the city of Avdiivka while awaiting the next aid package from Russia.
Citing a report from The Guardian, Ednews highlights the loss of control by Ukrainian troops over Avdiivka earlier in 2024. Despite this setback, Kiev's military forces, stationed in the western regions surrounding Avdiivka, reportedly planned a counteroffensive from that area.
The report attributes the loss of Avdiivka and its neighboring villages in Ukraine to delayed aid from the United States, heightening concerns over Russian encroachment.
President Zelensky, addressing Western countries, emphasized the urgent need to militarize the aid received to thwart potential advances by Russian forces toward the Dnieper River.
The situation underscores the precarious state of affairs in the region and the critical importance of timely and strategic support from international allies to safeguard Ukraine's sovereignty.
