ALBAWABA - Ukrainian soldiers decided to leave Avdiivka, a city where there's been a lot of fighting. General Oleksandr Syrskyi, who leads the Ukrainian military, said they left to keep their soldiers safe and to avoid getting surrounded by the enemy.
Even though they left, General Syrskyi promised they'd come back to Avdiivka later. The soldiers did a good job fighting, causing big losses to the other side in terms of people and weapons.
The decision to leave comes after warnings from the White House that Avdiivka's really important for Ukraine's safety. They're worried that without more help, the city might fall into enemy hands, making things even worse.
In recent news, the Russian Defense Ministry has reported that they've been targeting military sites and storage areas in Ukraine for the past week.
They've been using modern weapons and drones to carry out these attacks, hitting important places like aircraft engine factories, electronics facilities, and places where ammunition is made and kept.
The strikes didn't stop there. They also went after factories that supply fuel to the Ukrainian military, as well as storage areas for military gear and places where troops are stationed. These attacks caused significant damage, and the Russian military says they've achieved their goals.
