Defending the small city in the industrialised Donbas region that Russia has tried to seize for months was a “military necessity”, he said, praising Ukrainian resilience in “extremely difficult conditions”. “I am sad to say this, but Avdiivka is becoming more and more like a place from postapocalyptic movies,” said Vitaliy Barabash, head of the city’s military administration. Only about 2,000 of a pre-war population of 30,000 remain and he urged them to leave.
Kyiv does not generally comment on reports of attacks in Russia. The latest reported attack, on the town of Kireyevsk, in Tula region 220km south of Moscow, appeared to be one of the closest yet to the Russian capital. However, Lungescu said Putin’s nonproliferation pledge and his description of US weapons deployment overseas were way off the mark.
