A Ukrainian soldier recently shared a chilling account of the devastating toll of the conflict in Avdiivka, Ukraine. The soldier described witnessing a tragic event where an entire convoy of men was obliterated by Russian artillery as they attempted to flee the city. Avdiivka, a city with a population of approximately 30,000, fell to Russian forces in late February, marking a significant territorial gain for Russia.
Ukrainian troops stationed in Avdiivka faced relentless bombardment and engaged in fierce battles with Russian forces before being ordered to retreat on February 17. Severely outnumbered and outgunned, the soldiers recounted their narrow escapes from death as they fled the city.
