Around 1,600 civilians remain within Avdiivka.
Ukrainian officials have reported intense combat, characterised by relentless assaults by Russian forces, as the ongoing attack on the eastern city of Avdiivka entered its fifth consecutive day.
Mr Barabash also reported that Moscow was deploying additional forces to encircle the strategically important city in the eastern Donetsk region, situated just north of the Moscow-held regional capital, also called Donetsk. “Russian troops have, for several days now, switched over to active combat action practically throughout the entire front line… The so-called Ukrainian counter-offensive can therefore be considered finished,” he said.
Further north, fighting along the northern stretch of Ukraine’s eastern front has “significantly worsened” in recent days, General Oleksandr Syrskyi, commander of Ukraine’s land forces, wrote on Facebook on Saturday.Gen Syrskyi, who visited troops in the area, said that Russian forces had regrouped following losses and were mounting attacks around the village of Makiivka and pushing towards the city of Kupiansk, with the goal of encircling Kupiansk and reaching the Oskil River.
