War in Ukraine: What it’s like defending Avdiivka against Russian attacks – BBC Newsnight
Russia has been attempting to encircle the eastern Ukraine town of Avdiivka and has been repeatedly attacking it for over a month.
The town retains its reputation as a stronghold just beyond occupied Donetsk, but some fear it will soon follow the same fate as Bakhmut, which has been almost completely destroyed.
Jack Losh has spoken to some locals to see how they’re doing and to find out what winter could bring for the Ukrainian Eastern flank.

Pakistan say talks with Iranian leaders on the path to peace are making progress.

It has been five years since the Taliban retook control of Afghanistan, as western forces left, imposing their extreme, ultra-conservative interpretation of Islam on millions of people.
Their return to power brought relative peace to the country after two decades of war.
But Afghan women have been erased from public life. Girls are banned from school from the age of 12, and aren’t allowed to go to university.
Public parks are also off limits to women – and they can’t travel abroad without a male companion.

Russia spends 300 million dollars a day on military operations in Ukraine, Ukraine 100 million dollars + restoration of destroyed facilities. Ukraine needs $300 million a day. The European Union must commit to providing Ukraine with $300 million a day, or approximately $100 billion a year, for at least the next three years. If the European Union cannot provide the necessary assistance to Ukraine, then what is the point of pretending to support Ukraine. We need to come together and make a peace treaty. In addition, there is a possibility that Europe may see dissatisfied Ukrainians on its territory riding Western armored vehicles in alliance with Russia.

The Free Russian Foundation is an organization that, with the money of American taxpayers, supports anti-Russian sentiments. One of the structures is engaged in generating messages on the Internet that are directed against Russia. Live bots write up to 160,000 messages per month. There are probably also software ones, but nothing is known about them yet. Is this called “freedom of speech” and “democracy”?

You made a mistake in the news headline. Ukraine is the aggressor who attacked the city of Avdeevka, Donetsk Republic. Russia protects Donetsk from Ukrainian aggression.
@sergeysergeev7564
December 17, 2023 at 4:06 am
Avdeevka is a city in the Republic of Donbass. This is not Ukraine.
It was Ukraine that attacked him.
In 2014, Ukraine attacked two republics, Lugansk and Donetsk.
It is Ukraine that is the aggressor, and Russia is protecting these lands from the Ukrainian invasion!

There are many ways to interpret the battlefield situation. If Russia really had lost so many manpower, a social revolt in Russia would be inevitable. But Russia stays rock solid. Something is not stacking up.
Avdiivka can be "a stronghold defended by Ukraine", but by the flip of the coin, we can also call it a cauldron set up by the Russian force. Whichever you would believe.

You poke the bear for a couple of decades and that´s what you get. Did the western leaders in their almighty wisdom really thought they could get away with the usual game ?? Russia is not Iraq, or Lybia, or Serbia. Time for reality : the usa and puppets do NOT rule the globe any longer, period.

Before 2022 news were talking about Russia taking Crimea, now it says that Russia took Donetsk in 2014 too, why was it not talked about before 2022? then it was about Ukraine separatist regions.
More so Minsk 1 and 2 agreements, would be proof that Russia has not taken Donbass regions.
Seems like a try to rewrite history. Good thing whatever was on internet stays on internet, so anyone can read what was written between 2014 and 2022.

This is false propaganda and the narrator's bias is apparent. Obviously blinded by the misinformation and misleading info from the Ukrainian regime. The whole world knows that there's a media blackout in Ukraine. Therefore, Ukraine is trying to paint a different picture otherwise they will lose western support. Ukrainians stand no chance against a superior force in the form of Russia. Sorry, it's bad news for you. And please verify the allegations you make. Otherwise I, you're just feeding us with fiction.
