Ukraine War: Heavy fighting in the Avdiivka and Bakhmut sectors

After a new series of massive Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities and villages, President Volodymyr Zelensky has promised consequences for the attackers. “Russia will be held accountable for all this terror,” the Ukrainian leader said in his nightly video address on Sunday. “Without Moscow’s decisions to trigger this aggression and this terror, thousands and thousands of people would still be alive today.” Therefore, both the individual responsible parties and the entire Russian state must be held accountable. “Russia must learn and always remember that the aggressor loses the most through aggression.”

Before Zelensky, the General Staff in Kiev had already reported on the new series of Russian attacks on Sunday. “The fiercest fighting took place in the Avdiivka sector, as well as in Bakhmut, Marinka, Kupyansk and in the south of Ukraine,” Zelensky said. “On that day alone, Russian monsters shelled more than a hundred cities, towns and Ukrainian villages in nine regions: from Chernihiv and Sumy to Mykolaiv and Kirovohrad.” The information provided by the warring parties can usually hardly be verified independently.
