Read our privacy policy Ukraine is pulling back its soldiers from the embattled town of Avdiivka after the White House warned it was “at risk of falling into Russian control” due to an ammunition shortage. Ukraine’s commander-in-chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said the troops were being withdrawn after four months of fight “to avoid encirclement and preserve the lives and health of service personnel”. A day before the withdrawal order, Rodion Kudriashov, the brigade’s deputy commander, said that while the troops were holding out against attacks, the situation could “soon become critical”. Earlier on Thursday, White House national security spokesman John Kirby said Avdiivka could fall largely “because the Ukrainian forces on the ground are running out of artillery ammunition”.
