Eastern Ukraine residents brace for Russian advance | BBC News


In February, Russia captured the strategic town of Avdiivka, in the Donetsk region.

Ukraine says its forces are "holding on". But Russian troops are now attacking in five areas along the 1,100km (700 mile) front line.

Over 1.2 million people – or two thirds of the population – have left the Ukrainian-controlled Donetsk region since Russia’s full scale invasion two years ago.
