Ukrainian Troops Lay Down Arms in Donetsk’s Avdiivka; Surrender to Russia Amid ’Failed’ Offensive

The crews of two Ukrainian BMP-1 infantry combat vehicles have surrendered to Russia. Ukrainian fighters have reportedly surrendered in Avdiivka, a city in Donetsk oblast. The soldiers laid down their arms after Kyiv’s commanders “refused to evacuate“ them. A Russian official confirmed the news to Moscow’s state-run media house, TASS. Ukraine launched its much-hyped offensive last week but has failed to make a mark. Kyiv made small advances in five Donetsk villages but suffered heavy losses in the battle. In just one week of counteroffensive operations, Ukraine seems to be on its knees. #bmpinfantry #ukrainiantroops #russia #ukraine #donetsk #avdiivka #donbass #ukrainerussiaconflict #avdeyevka #infantry #moscow #ukrainewar #vladimirputin #russianmissile #rockets #weapons #ukrainewar #ukrainenews #ukrainerussianews #ukrainewarvideofootage #ukrainewarnews #ukrainewarnewsupdatetoday #ukrainenewstoday #ukrainewarvideofootagelatest #ukrainelatestnews #ukrainerussia #ukrainewarupdate #ukrainerussiawar #ukrainevsrussialivewar #ukrainelivecamera #ukraineandrussiawarlatestnews #ukraineandrussiaupdate #ukraineandrussiatoday #ukraineandrussianewslive #ukraineandnato #ukraineandrussiawarfootagetoday Hindustan Times Videos bring you news, views and explainers about current issues in India and across the globe.
