Battle of Avdiivka: What is the situation on the front line? • FRANCE 24 English
As zalinski is in Western Europe what is the latest news from the front in Ukraine well the situation for the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the front line by their own admission is very difficult at the moment they are saying it’s difficult but under control but clearly they are being forced to withdraw at
Least from part of the town of of difco which is a town that’s been on the front line since 2014 Ukrainian held but very very close to the Russian held city of donet the largest Russian held City in eastern Ukraine they’ve admitted the ukrainians that they’ve withdrawn to
What they say are more advantageous positions in some parts of the city if you look at the map though you can see that they’re quite close to being surrounded though they say that they are beating the Russians back inflicting heavy losses and that they will prevent uh the town being surrounded the troops
That were sent in there a few days ago Elite Ukrainian troops as reinforcements have been been posting videos and saying it’s absolute hell in aifa even comparing it to bakut and marup where very very Fierce battles were fought um and which were already described as hell
And saying that it’s even worse what the ukrainians may now do is try to haul up in the biggest Factory in aiva which is actually the biggest cing plant in Europe the Cen chemicals plant which provide some kind of defenses but if they get surrounded there then of course
Uh they’ll be in very big trouble so that’s kind of the biggest news at the moment in Ukraine but it’s not the only place on the front line where the Russians are on the offensive and the ukrainians are on the back foot the spokesman for the Ukrainian military in
Southeastern Ukraine said that the Russians look like they’re preparing an offensive to try to retake those parts of zapia region which were the only Parts where the ukrainians made any significant advances during their counter offensive Last Summer and Autumn C cig I’m sorry that’s all we have time
For but thank you so much for reporting the IA from GI

This gentleman cannot report without twisting the facts and figures.
Russians retreat forward while Ukrainians advance backward.
Main problems are for the Ukranian armies that Nato modern arms are 20 to 30 years behind the Russian modern arms.
First time Nato modern arms works better but rapidly Russia covrred the gaps and Javline to Himras have thrown into backdated arms.
In the time of Mariopolre and Bakhmoot war Ukraine armies have no shortage of Nato arms but lost the war.
WW2 will end when there's no Nazis in EU countries including Ukraine
Elite brigades kaput
A huge loss for Ukraine.
100% Of Avdiivka Captured by Russian army
Clearly the ukrainian soldiers are retreating but this media propaganda wouldn’t say the truth hahaha
one day later we know this whole report was BS
Time of american hegemony is over
Situation avdivkaa is in our hearts 💕
🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺💪💪💪
Big thanks to the media for explaining that Russia is losing. One might have thought otherwise
its over
Wait wait, this town has been on the front line since 2014?? But I thought Russia started this was in 2022?
Game over……
US's and Nato 's Poor heart
"I've withdrawn to a more advantageous position'
Said the guy to the girl.
The Russian 22nd and 23rd Shovel Battalions were the main ones involved in this attack, and they were backed up by the 102nd Washing Machine Division.
Why don't you go there and report from the front? LOL
Propagandists, malicious, spinning and diabolical media house . Ur reportage is full of bias towards other countries to satisfy your country policy and political agenda.
How ever journalism should be on accuracy , actuality,free from emotional distress or sentiments towards reporting.
Ukraine needs help with somalilan Man we want help you but make Visa Free
What tragic reporting. So far from the truth. The Russians are inside the heart of the city. Around 10,000 Ukrainians are surrounded by the Russians. The few who are outside are fleeing Avdivka. They have only one route which is under Russian surveillance.The Ukrainians are fleeing along this route. There is no organized withdrawal. The route is littered with the bodies of Ukrainians trying to escape. The route is covered by Russian machine guns, drones and artillery. Out of every ten Ukrainian soldiers only one or two escape, the rest are gunned down. The Russians have been very patient. They surrounded the city and cut off all the escape routes, except the one mentioned earlier.
The unacceptable part is that the Ukrainians have no bullets and no shells. The Ukrainians are now firing smoke bombs at the Russians. This is tragic. Soldiers do not have ammunition. They just carry the gun. The worst thing is that their sponsors the USA, Europe and NATO do not have shells and ammunition. This has been announced at the top level.
Meanwhile Mariupol has been completely rebuilt.
Some videos show the bodies of hundreds of Ukrainians being dumped into big ditches by bulldozers. The total number of Ukrainians KIA is a staggering 650,000 soldiers. Everyday almost a 1000 Ukrainians are being eliminated. This is horrific. Most of them are killed by artillery fire and not in direct combat. How long can NATO, USA and Europe say ''WE DO NOT HAVE SHELLS AND BULLETS''. This is shameful.
Soon, through Ukraine, Russia will connect with Hungary and Balkans and create front to Europe. Slovakia might get in that coalition also. My predictions only
If Russia were a weak country, America would have already intervened by sending their own troops, claiming through propoganda that the coke plant is actually a Coca-Cola plant and an American asset!
Avdeevka went from an impenetrable fortress city, to just "city", to town, to symbolic 😂😂😂😂😂
Never fails
No shovels no cry
Avdiivka is now Avdeevka
If ukrania say avdiivka falls it means that avdiivka fall 2 or 3 week ago, they dont accept that abefor it passes a lot of time
c'est ma ville
notre maison était là
la maison de toute ma famille
maintenant c'est parti
Les Russes ont pris la ville pour la première fois en 2014
puis quand ils ont occupé Donetsk – j'ai étudié à Donetsk et mon père y travaillait comme sauveteur
mes grands-parents travaillaient aussi à Donetsk
mais notre maison familiale était à AVDIIVKA
en 2014, les Russes ont pris la ville mais l'armée ukrainienne les a chassés au bout d'une semaine
de 2014 à 2016 les Russes ont bombardé Avdiivka
mais ils le faisaient de moins en moins
le devant est gelé
et la ville a commencé à se rétablir
ma mère a reconstruit son atelier de couture en 2016
les gens pouvaient venir chez leurs vieux parents, des clubs pour enfants sont apparus
nous avons recommencé à vivre
récupéré après l'occupation et les bombardements
mon père a continué à planter de beaux arbres dans les environs pour les générations futures
En 2021
Je suis rentré chez mes parents et grands-parents
nous nous sommes assis à une grande table dans notre jardin familial, avons bu du vin français et mangé du roquefort
Désormais, les soldats russes mangeront dans ces verres et assiettes
ils viendront dans ma chambre et verront mes photographies d'enfance, ma grande bibliothèque de livres – que mon père a collectionnée toute sa vie
et seront contents d'eux-mêmes de nous avoir "libérés" des nazis
ils m'ont libéré de mon passé
Le pire, c'est que beaucoup de gens, enfants et connaissances, sont morts parmi nous.
des gens pacifiques
tout est couvert de cadavres
ils ont largué 60 bombes et missiles sur la ville par jour
notre voisin est un militaire – ses nouvelles rendaient ma mère hystérique à chaque fois
When this BS was uploaded, Ukrainians were running already.
“Withdraw” means a full collapse.
