Russian forces close in on east Ukraine’s Avdiivka

Russian forces closed in on the frontline town of Avdiivka in east Ukraine on Tuesday, as Kyiv warned Moscow was stepping up strikes in an attempt to encircle it completely.

Avdiivka has since become a symbol of Ukrainian resistance against Moscow, with Kyiv clinging on there despite relentless Russian attacks during the Kremlin’s almost 20-month long offensive. The attacks came as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky held talks on grain and security with Romanian counterpart Klaus Iohannis, after Moscow struck areas of Ukraine close to the Romanian border.

Zelensky and Iohannis discussed how to increase Kyiv’s grain exports being shipped out via Romania, with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine hindering the country’s access to the Black Sea.
