Ukrainian forces have withdrawn suddenly from the Donbas fortress-city of Avdeevka. This is a short distance from Donetsk city and was on the border since the Ukraine Civil War begun after the Maidan Coup in 2014. For almost a decade, Western forces had fortified the city. When Russia did its invasion in 2022, it did not even attempt to advance towards Avdeevka, because there were so many thousands of Ukrainian troops in the area, as Ukraine had been preparing its conquest on the separatist regions.
