February 21, 2024After the loss of Avdiivka, Ukraine may start rapidly losing new territories.
This was stated by NBC News correspondent Richard Engel in a report for the channel.
“As soon as you start losing territory and as soon as you have to retreat, you can lose it quite quickly. So now there is a situation where the Armed Forces of Ukraine are retreating. The concern is whether they can stop it,” he emphasized.
Engel also noted that, after talking to soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, he learned about a critical shortage of ammunition, forcing Ukrainian military personnel to refrain from attacks.
“I just spoke with the soldiers a few minutes ago. They told me that the shortage of ammunition is so serious right now that they are already counting the bullets,” the correspondent shared.
On the evening of February 17, Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu reported to Vladimir Putin about the complete taking of Avdiivka under control.
Avdiivka is a northern suburb of Donetsk, the fighting for which has been ongoing since the beginning of the special operation. Ukrainian Armed Forces regularly shelled Donetsk and other towns in Donbas from there.
