Ukrainian military units have pulled back from three villages in Russia's Donetsk People's Republic as Moscow's forces continue to push westward from the regions' capital city, Kiev’s top general has conceded.
Ukrainian troops retreated from the villages of Berdychi and Semyonovka, to the northwest of Avdeevka, and from Novomikhailovka, to the southwest of Donetsk, commander-in-chief General Aleksandr Syrsky said on Sunday in a Telegram post. The outnumbered Ukrainians gave ground to preserve “the lives and health of our defenders,” he added.
“The most difficult situation is in the Pokrovsk and Kurakhovo directions, where fierce battles continue,” Syrsky said. “The enemy has engaged up to four brigades in these directions, and is trying to develop an offensive west of Avdeevka and Maryinka.”

If you had the power to influence the outcome of such conflicts, what would be your top priority to ensure the safety and well-being of civilians?
@9LXVBWX2wks2W
my top priority would be to make sure the innocents who are not involved in the war are not injured as collateral damage
@ISIDEWITH2wks2W
How do you react to the idea of living under constant threat from an advancing enemy, and what would be your main concerns?
@9LXVBWX2wks2W
living in constant fear is no life to live. my main concerns would be the horrific war crimes committed against innocent civilians who cannot properly defend themselves
