White House budget director says congressional action required to procure more weapons; first steps towards de-escalation of border blockade
Russia are opening new fronts in the battle for Avdiivka, say Ukrainian officials. The industrial town in eastern Ukraine has been under constant Russian fire in a bid by Moscow to capture it. Ukrainian officials have accused Russian forces of assaulting Avdiivka, in the eastern Donetsk region from two new directions, reports AFP.
“The current third wave of enemy assaults differs from the previous two in that they have conditionally opened two new directions,” the head of the town, Vitaliy Barabash, said. “The launching of new directions proves that the enemy has been given a command to capture the city at any cost.”
