Russia takes control of Avdiivka after Ukrainian troops withdraw

Russia said its forces took complete control Saturday of a city in eastern Ukraine that was the focus of intense combat for months, a development that Moscow could use to boost morale as the second anniversary of its full-scale invasion of Ukraine approaches with the war largely at a stalemate.

You have been telling us Ukraine is winning all these time. Have you been truthful?, , !?

Remember: Russia is not Iraq or Libya? Washing Machines and shovels are working in Ukraine. Our taxes are filling the Military Industry pockets.

Russia must have developed hyper-sonic shovels😊

What one person calls setback others would call a resounding defeat.

Apparently, "withdraw" or "retreat" are the preferred words for getting absolutely crushed on the battlefield and fleeing in terror. Got it.

Ukraine is another Titanic !!! Another Vietnam !!!!

Why are we still sending money to Ukraine? No more aid packages!!!

Fantastic - maybe now our Congress will stop wasting our tax dollars on this military debacle and blunder.

*_“the best money we've ever spent"_*

Thank you Joe Briben! ✌👴

Nobody is mentioning the fact that Nay Toe helped build the fortifications and trench systems long before Russia went in. Avdiivka isn't very far from Donestk and was used to shell the city for years...a fact little told, particularly by the global weapons-media elite.

Hey Amy, we don't care about an invasion in Ukraine, we care about the invasion in Minnesota.

When an army MUST retreat so fast that they sustain casualties, and soldiers being taken prisoner, it's called a "route".

[kaos]

What I thought Ukraine was beating the hell out of Russia? I'm shocked my media would lie to me....Again

[Tom-modr]

They didn't withdraw, they ran dor their lives .

'Russia takes control of Avdiivka after Ukranian troops pushed out'; fixed it for you.

This is what happens when you have stock brokers and dealers running the Military.

Ukraine has been losing for some time now and our money will not help them. The need to get back to the table and get back to peace talks.

[katieks]

It was not Ukraine's first defeat since last may they lost every satellite City in town near adivka steadily over the past 9 months this is just the biggest city they have lost in recent days.

We sustained a ten year war in Vietnam, we sustained a 20 year war in Afghanistan and we sent 80 billion dollars every few months to sustain an occupation in Irak that was illegal.
