Russia launches its biggest attack on Ukraine in months

Ukrainian forces are trying to defend the city of Avdiivka against a major Russian offensive. The offensive, which began four days ago, involves tanks, armored vehicles, and thousands of troops. Avdiivka is strategically important due to its proximity to Donetsk, the capital of the Russian-occupied Donetsk region. Ukraine had heavily fortified the city’s front line, but Russia is now attempting to encircle Avdiivka.
