Inside Ukraine's desperate battle to defend Avdiivka before it fell to Putin in newly shared footage

Описание: Ukrainian troops have released footage
of troops defending Avdiivka
before it fell to Putin’s forces.

Ukrainian forces were seen reacting to
movement outside of the window
when they started to fire in the new footage.

Ukrainian assault groups quickly dispersed
and took up positions in the houses
and started firing at the enemy’s infantry.

Ukraine’s military said on February 19 its troops are
taking up new defensive positions in the east – and
repelling Russian attempts to develop an offensive thrust.

Avdiivka is now under Russian control.

Rodion Kudriashov of the Third Assault Brigade,
said that the withdrawal from the battered
industrial town didn’t mean Ukraine had lost the war.

His brigade had been rushed to Avdiivka to reinforce
Kyiv’s troops there 12 days before the withdrawal.
