Less than 1,800 residents remain in the front-line city of Avdiivka, Donetsk region, almost ruined by Russians

The civilian population of the embattled eastern Ukrainian city of Avdiivka has dwindled to 1,800 people from 32,000 before the war, as Russian forces bear down on the city trying to capture it, the Head of the Donetsk Regional Military Administration, Pavlo Kyrylenko, reported.

As Reuters reports, Avdiivka has been one of the main targets of a Russian winter offensive. “The Russians have turned Avdiivka into a total ruin,” Kyrylenko said.
