Russia captured Avdiivka, a strategic settlement in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region, after months of battles in February 2024.

A new map shows Russia has gained territory northwest of the captured former Ukrainian stronghold of Avdiivka, as Moscow presses on with persistent attacks in the country's eastern Donetsk region, described by one Ukrainian military observer as a 'crisis.'Geolocated footage from Tuesday shows that Russia has 'marginally advanced' on the edge of the village of Sokil, northwest of Avdiivka, according to the U.S.-based think tank, the Institute for the Study of War .
