The US has warned that Russia could seize Ukraine’s key eastern town of Avdiivka - the scene of some of the fiercest fighting in recent months.

“Avdiivka is at risk of falling into Russian control,” National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said, citing Ukraine’s ammunition shortages.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky vowed to do everything to “save as many Ukrainian lives as possible”.

Russian troops have made gains in Avdiivka, threatening to encircle it.

    I really don’t think territory is that imporrant. It’s important to crush the russians and later force them out. let them rule over ghost towns until it’s time to strike back.
