"Ukraine Downs 4 Russian Jets in 2 Days, Including Damaged Warplane"

The Ukrainian army's 110th Mechanized Brigade retreated from Avdiivka after a brutal four-month battle, inflicting heavy casualties on the Russian army. The retreating Ukrainians downed three Russian jets, including a Sukhoi Su-35 and two Sukhoi Su-34s, as they targeted the Ukrainian brigade. The battle in Avdiivka served as an attrition trap for Russian forces, allowing the Ukrainians to inflict significant losses on the Russian military. However, the Ukrainian army faces challenges due to a shortage of American-made missiles and artillery ammunition, with U.S. aid being blocked by Russia-aligned Republicans in Congress.
