Ukrainian forces holding positions in Avdiyivka as Russia makes push in Donetsk Oblast
Ukrainian Defense Forces are holding their positions near Avdiyivka in Donetsk Oblast, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced on Oct. 12 via Telegram.
"Avdiyivka. We're holding our positions. It's Ukrainian courage and unity that will determine the end of this war. We must all remember that.”
Russian forces have intensified their offensive on Avdiyivka, launching mass attacks on the city. The fighting has been ongoing for three days now, with Oct. 10 seeing the biggest offensive on the city throughout the entire full-scale war.
The situation remains under control, Avdiyivka City Military Administration head Vitaliy Barabash stated. Ukrainian forces reported that Russia is attempting to encircle Avdiyivka by deploying a significant amount of equipment and personnel.
Over the past 24 hours, Ukrainian Defense Forces repelled over ten enemy attacks near Avdiyivka and another ten attacks in the area east of Stepove, southeast of Siverske, and to the south of Pervomaiske in the Donetsk Oblast.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
