Ukraine may lose even more territory after Russia takes Avdiivka

Kyiv now faces very bleak prospects. The Ukrainian army will have to retreat, and halting the Russian advance is proving difficult. This is according to Business Insider.

Ukraine still stands to lose much more, as Russian military forces continue to advance beyond gaining control of Avdiivka. The publication also notes that Russian forces have not slowed their pace of advancement and have already liberated several villages following Avdiivka. If Kyiv cannot procure the necessary equipment in time and establish a strong defense, the Russians could easily break through.

Some Western partners continue to provide support, but Ukrainian military forces are in a difficult position. The moment has come for Ukraine to dig in and fortify defensive lines while under fire from Russia. This perilous environment will make construction increasingly challenging. And Ukraine still faces a massive shortage of crucial resources necessary to sustain this fight.
