Description
Ukrainian soldiers defending the industrial city of Avdiivka are preparing for a new "massive attack" by Russian forces, following a failed offensive earlier this month, says Maxim Morozov, commander of a special unit in Avdiivka, before adding that the city remains the "priority (of Russian troops) and will be hit". Ukraine last week said Russia had stepped up assaults on the frontline city, which lies just 15 kilometres (nine miles) from Moscow-held Donetsk and has been a symbol of Ukrainian resistance since 2014, after it briefly fell to Russian-backed separatists.
