"Ukraine's Retreat: Russian Forces Capture Soldiers in Besieged Avdiivka"

Ukraine's military has retreated from the key city of Avdiivka in eastern Ukraine, ceding it to Russia after months of fighting and severe ammunition shortages. This marks the first notable Ukrainian city to fall to Russia since Bakhmut nearly a year ago and the first since the US became deadlocked in sending more military aid. Despite the fall of Avdiivka, most military analysts do not believe it will have an immediate major impact on Ukraine’s overall position, as the country focuses on regrouping its remaining troops and replenishing supplies. A U.S. official has warned that Ukraine may face "catastrophic" shortages of ammunition by March if Congress doesn’t authorize more aid.
