Russian forces escalate assaults on Avdiivka, echoing past conflicts in cities like Bakhmut. Despite Ukraine s attempts to break Russian lines, assessments foresee a prolonged conflict. Avdiivka, a city with a pre-war population of 32,000 and a vital coke plant, now witnesses intense attacks. With just 1,500 residents remaining, the city s destruction is profound. Analysts note high human costs in Russia s offensive, as both sides endure significant losses. Control of Avdiivka is pivotal for Russia s strategy in Donetsk and Luhansk, aiming to expand territory and fortify logistics.
A majority of Russians support peace talks for the first time. Analysts believe such developments may be the source of growing fears inside the Kremlin over Putin s election campaign next year. Listen to a Sky News Daily podcast about the risk of war "fatigue" to Ukraine while you scroll.
