Adiivka, Ukraine FALLS to Russian Army - "Complete Rout"
Once considered impregnable, the KEY city for Ukraine defense, Adiivka, the most heavily fortified city on the entire planet, has fallen to the Russian Army. Adiivka, shown on the map below, has been conquered in what observers say is a "complete rout" of the Ukraine Army. | Within hours, the bloodiest battle of the 21st century (so far) will be over. For those who have not kept up on developments in the Russian Special Military Operation (SMO), Avdiivka is the place from which the Ukrainian Army has shelled the civilians of Donetsk City for TEN YEARS! There are going to be lots of tactical, strategic, and political implications from this that we will see over the next days and weeks. ● There are reportedly very FEW Ukrainian defenses behind Avdiivka; the Ukrainians put all their eggs into one basket, counting on the deep Soviet-era nuclear bunker system, and defenses built since the end of the civil war to make it "impregnable."
