- Avdiivka is a city 13 kilometers from Donetsk. Before the great invasion, almost 30 thousand people lived there, now — just over a thousand. On October 10, 2023, the Russians launched the largest attack on the city since February 2022. They are trying to take control of the heights, the road that connects Avdiivka with the surrounding world, and surround the city.
