Ukraine frontline fighting: Retreat from Avdiivka | BBC News
*** Warning: graphic frontline footage
Ukraine’s forces have retreated from Avdiivka, a key eastern city besieged by Russian forces for months. Ukrainian troops pulled out as Russian forces advanced and seized control of the city in the Donetsk region. The retreat was ordered to save the lives of Ukrainian soldiers, according to Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Russia’s defence ministry said it had full control of the city, with President Vladimir Putin hailing it as an “important victory”. Almost all of Avdiivka’s pre-war population of more than 30,000 people have fled and the city itself is almost completely destroyed.
Its fall marks Russia’s biggest victory in Ukraine for months. Mr Zelensky blamed a lack of Western weapons supplies. US President Joe Biden accused his political opponents in Washington of sharing responsibility for the Ukrainian defeat.
Ukraine has been experiencing shortages in ammunition and other military equipment. Its army depends on supplies from western allies. However the latest package of military aid from the United States has been blocked due to political opposition from Republicans and some Democrats in the US Congress. The United States has been Ukraine’s main weapons supplier, providing billions of dollars of military support since the Russian invasion in 2022.

US President Donald Trump has accused Iran of shooting down a US helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz and vowed to respond to the attack out of “necessity”.
Two crew members of the downed Apache helicopter were rescued by an American sea drone, US Central Command (Centcom) said.
“There were two pilots involved, both are safe and uninjured,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Nevertheless, the United States must, of necessity, respond to this attack.”
It was not immediately clear what the US response would be, but any military action risks inflaming the shaky ceasefire with Iran once again. There has been no immediate response from Tehran on the US president’s comments.
