Russia intensifies its attacks on Avdiivka and Ukraine targets a drilling rig in the Black Sea. Vitaly Barabakh: "The situation in the city is very complex and very tense.

We have been saying, for several weeks, that the situation is very difficult, but it is under control," he said. The mayor explained that "this does not mean that things are out of control," stressing that the Russian army "is sending huge forces towards our city," noting that "50 waves of heavy bombing" were recorded on Tuesday.
