‘Where is the second line of defense?’ Military photographers react to the withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from Avdiivka
February 17, 2024The Ukrainian military public page DeepState has published a map of Avdiivka following the announced retreat by the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) from the city.
According to the map, the Russians now control almost the entire city, except for the 9th district (a residential area) and the majority of the Avdiivka Coke Plant.
Some Russian sources claim that the UAF have already left the 9th district, but the Russian army has not yet entered. Others report ongoing fighting in that area. There is still no precise information available about the situation at the coke plant.
Several Russian military Telegram channels claim that Ukrainian forces have not withdrawn from there, and there is fighting on the plant’s territory.
Recall that the Commander-in-Chief of the UAF, Alexander Syrsky, announced the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from Avdiivka in order to save soldiers’ lives.
