In recent developments in the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Russia's Defense Minister has announced that the eastern Ukrainian town of Avdiivka is now under full Russian control. The takeover of Avdiivka was described as imminent, with Ukrainian forces facing significant challenges due to being outnumbered and enduring daily assaults since October.
This development comes as US President Joe Biden highlighted the critical importance of providing additional aid to Ukraine during a phone call with Ukrainian President Zelensky. President Biden emphasized the urgent need for more resources as Ukraine was forced to withdraw from one of its towns, ceding ground to Russia due to a shortage of ammunition. The President linked this lack of ammunition directly to congressional inaction in Washington, expressing concerns over the potential fall of other Ukrainian cities if aid is not promptly delivered.
