Ukraine Leaving Besieged Avdiivka Under Russian Pressure.

Ukraine's military is withdrawing troops from the besieged city of Avdiivka due to pressure from advancing Russian forces. The move comes as Ukraine faces dwindling military supplies and uncertainty over ongoing aid from the US. President Volodymyr Zelenskiy stated that the withdrawal is to save lives, but also emphasized the need for more weapons to push back against Russian forces. Avdiivka has been heavily damaged since 2022 and its loss adds to the challenges faced by Ukraine's political and military leadership. The US Senate recently approved assistance for Ukraine, but the legislation still faces obstacles in the House of Representatives. European officials have also expressed concerns over delays in aid from the US. [Extracted from the article]
