‘Fierce battles taking place’ inside embattled city of Avdiivka, says Ukraine general

‘Fierce battles taking place’ inside embattled city of Avdiivka, says Ukraine general
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Ukraine said Friday it was sending more reinforcements to the frontline city of Avdiivka, a main target for Moscow ahead of the second anniversary of the Russian invasion. 

Issued on: 16/02/2024 – 08:23Modified: 16/02/2024 – 11:29

3 min

Facing a shortage of ammunition and outnumbered on the battlefield, Ukraine may be forced to withdraw from the eastern town, which has become a symbol of Ukrainian resistance against the Russian attack.

The fighting raged as President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived in Berlin to rally Western support. He will later travel to Paris and address the Munich Security Conference on Saturday.

Russia’s forces launched a costly bid to seize Avdiivka last fall, resulting in massive damage to the town and heavy casualties, reminiscent of the battle for Bakhmut. 

“It was difficult there (in Bakhmut) but now it is extremely difficult,” said the spokesman of the 3rd Assault Brigade, Oleksandr Borodin, adding the Avdiivka fight was comparatively “more difficult” because Russian forces are now better equipped.

A Russian victory in Avdiivka would be the most significant territorial gain for Moscow since it seized Bakhmut last May after months of bloody fighting.

“Fierce battles are taking place within the city,” Oleksandr Tarnavskiy, a Ukrainian general in the east, said on social media on Friday.

Online maps of troop movements prepared by military bloggers close to both the Ukrainian and Russian armies showed Russian forces closing in on Avdiivka, taking over positions held by Ukrainian forces the day before. 

“New positions have been prepared and powerful fortifications continue to be prepared, taking into account all possible scenarios,” Tarnavskiy said.

He called the situation in Avdiivka “difficult but controlled” and said commanders have been tasked to “stabilise the situation.”

‘Standing their ground’ 

The Ukrainian army said it was reinforcing units, with troops “maneuvring on threatened axes.”

“Ukrainian defenders continue to hold back the enemy who keeps trying to encircle Avdiivka… the Ukrainian soldiers are standing their ground,” it added.

Zelensky said Thursday night that his government would do “everything” to save lives in the town, surrounded on three sides by Russian forces. 

The battle for the industrial hub, less than 10 kilometres (6 miles) north of the Russian-controlled city of Donetsk, has been one of the bloodiest of the two-year war.

Almost every building has been damaged or destroyed, according to the Centre for Information Resilience.

Despite daily shelling, almost 1,000 residents have remained in the town, once home to over 30,000 people, its mayor Vitaly Barabash said in early February.

A Ukrainian army spokesman said bringing in resupplies to the town and evacuating those who want to leave had become “complicated”.

‘At risk of falling’ 

The fate of Avdiivka has also drawn concern in Washington, Ukraine’s key backer.

“Avdiivka is at risk of falling into Russian control,” US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters on Thursday.

Democratic President Joe Biden and the Republican-led House are at an impasse over a White House request for $60 billion in military aid to help Ukraine’s defence as the Russian invasion enters its third year.

NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg had warned Thursday that the delay was already limiting Ukraine’s battlefield capacity.

During Friday’s talks with Chancellor Olaf Scholz and President Emmanuel Macron, Zelensky will seek to lock down security guarantees for his country when the war is over.

The German government said Scholz would sign a bilateral security pact that covered Ukraine’s “long-term security commitments and support”.

The French presidency also confirmed that a security agreement would be signed with Ukraine, but did not provide any specifics on its content.

On top of the US aid hold-up, the European Union has admitted that it will only be able to send half of the one million artillery shells it had originally promised would be despatched by March.
