“Unfortunately, Avdiivka is increasingly turning into a site of post-apocalyptic films,” military chief Vitaly Barabash was quoted as saying by Ukraine’s Unian agency yesterday. Due to the constant attacks, the city had become a lunar landscape.
Avdiivka had around 32,000 inhabitants before the war. The small town is just a few kilometers north of the Russian-controlled city of Donetsk. Avdiivka has been the focus of heavy Russian attacks for several days. After the unsuccessful attacks near Bakhmut, the Russian military have now shifted their focus of attack to Avdiivka, according to the Ukrainian account.
