Security Service of Ukraine Investigates Alleged Executions Following avdiivka's Fall The Security Service of Ukraine has launched an investigation into allegations that Russian forces executed eight unarmed Ukrainian soldiers after gaining control of Avdiivka. The probe, under the Donetsk Regional Prosecutor’s Office's guidance, focuses on the killing of unarmed prisoners of war in Avdiivka and Vesele. According to Ukrinform, evidence of the killings surfaced on the Telegram messaging app, including footage showing a Russian soldier shooting two captured Ukrainian soldiers at close range. Despite these allegations, Moscow has not issued a public response. Ukraine has consistently accused Russia of unlawful killings and war crimes since the full-scale invasion in February 2022. In response, Russia has also accused Ukraine of violating international law. Russia declared full control of Avdiivka on Saturday after Ukrainian forces withdrew, marking Moscow's most significant gain since Bakhmut's fall last May. Russian President Vladimir Putin described the capture as “an important victory” in the two-year-long conflict.
The enemy is trying to actively develop its offensive,” Ukrainian military spokesman Dmytro Lykhoviy said on state TV
Ukrainian forces’ retreat from Avdiivka came after they were forced to ration ammunition due to dwindling supplies, which the administration of United States President Joe Biden has blamed on Congress’s failure to swiftly approve a package of military aid for Kyiv Following the retreat from Avdiivka, Ukrainian forces reported Russian attempts to expand their territorial gains with multiple attacks west of the city, including unsuccessful assaults on Lastochkyne village. Ukrainian military spokesman Dmytro Lykhoviy stated on state TV that "the enemy is trying to actively develop its offensive." The Ukrainian retreat was partly due to a shortage of ammunition, as the United States President Joe Biden administration attributed to Congress's delay in approving a military aid package for Kyiv.
