"The Ukrainian army fought fiercely, suffered heavy losses in the flight, and suffered heavy losses of more than 1,500 people"
Late at night on February 18, the fires on the battlefield in Ukraine shone in the starry sky, and a heroic evacuation operation was staged in Aberdiivka. The 3rd Azov Assault Brigade of the Ukrainian Army rushed down the tunnel of the coking plant, the special forces of the Security Service covered the important people and drove quickly, while the 110th Territorial Defense Brigade fled near the city hall, and the Russian Freedom Battalion in the city was also hastily evacuated. At the same time, some troops, female soldiers and civilians of the 53rd Brigade of the Ukrainian Army also embarked on the road of escape.
However, the Russian army did not give the Ukrainian army a chance to breathe. On the north and south sides and on the frontal battlefield, the Russian army's motorized infantry brigades, tank regiments and artillery exerted unparalleled strength, forming an all-round and multi-directional fierce pursuit of the Ukrainian army. They vowed to trap the Ukrainian army in Avadiivka, making it impossible to get out.
The Ukrainian army resisted hard, but in the face of the fierce offensive of the Russian army, they could only be shields on both sides of the hammer. On the way to escape, the Ukrainian soldiers were unfortunately recruited, many fell in the artillery fire, and some were even captured by the Russian army.
The efforts of the Ukrainian army, while admirable, did not escape defeat in the end. In this tragic battle, the Ukrainian army lost the lives of more than 1,500 warriors. Although most of the main forces of the Ukrainian army managed to break through, the victory of the Russian army cost them two strategic strongholds of the security of the city of Donetsk.
The strategic intentions of the Russian army are obvious, they are not only trying to crush the Ukrainian army, but also to weaken Ukraine's military and political strength. By capturing Avadiivka, the Russian army showed the world their strong offensive and defensive capabilities, and also sent a clear warning to Ukraine.
Now the Ukrainian side is actively adjusting its strategy and shifting to a posture of defensive warfare. They hope to extend the time to wait for fighter training to mature, reorganize their forces, and enlist more support. For Ukraine, this battle may be just a prelude to a long struggle, and they still need a strong will and strong international support to counter Russian aggression.
However, we must not forget that in this brutal war, every Ukrainian soldier who died fought heroically to defend the dignity of the country and the freedom of the people. Their sacrifices and dedication will always be remembered and inspire us to keep going and fight for peace and justice!
May the departed rest in peace, and may Ukraine achieve peace and prosperity at an early date!
