MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Armed Forces of Ukraine Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrsky announced the decision to withdraw units from the city of Avdeyevka.
“Based on the operational situation around Avdeyevka... I decided to withdraw our units from the city and move to defense,” Syrsky wrote on Facebook*.
Ukrainian news agency UNIAN, citing the commander of Ukrainian Armed Forces group Tavria, Alexander Tarnavsky, reported that Ukrainian troops had already left Avdeyevka.
A senior US defense official said Friday that Ukrainian troops in Avdeyevka are experiencing a critical lack of ammunition that could be a harbinger of the collapse of this defensive line to advancing Russian forces.
Avdeyevka is a northern suburb of the city of Donetsk; it was a powerful fortified area of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
