Britain's defense ministry says Russian forces had made only 'marginal progress' in an attempt to encircle Avdiivka in recent days and had lost many armored vehicles and tanks.
Russian forces remain relentless in their attempts to take full control of the bombed-out eastern Ukrainian towns of Bakhmut and Avdiivka but were not making progress, Ukrainian military officials said, as a Russian-installed official claimed otherwise.
But the military said Ukrainian fighters continued to successfully repel Russian forces and claimed that Russia was suffering high combat deaths in the offensive.Away from the battlefields of the biggest land conflict in Europe since World War Two, Russian ally Belarus confirmed it will host Russian tactical nuclear weapons, saying the decision was a response to Western sanctions and what it said was a military build-up by NATO member states near its borders.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy visited two northern towns and trenches near the Russian border on Tuesday. In his nightly video address, Zelenskiy mentioned the international response to Russia’s February 2022 invasion of his country, saying it “reminds the world that Russian aggression could be ended considerably more quickly than is sometimes said.
Britain’s defense ministry said Russian forces had made only “marginal progress” in an attempt to encircle Avdiivka in recent days and had lost many armored vehicles and tanks. The UK, the United States and European allies of Ukraine have provided the Kyiv government with weapons and money, describing the invasion as an imperial-style land grab by Russia.
