The agency's journalists interviewed ten Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel to find out how depleted ammunition, superior numbers of Russian troops and poor military leadership "led to Kyiv's worst defeat in a year."

“These same problems threaten the future of Ukraine,” the material states.

Ukrainian soldiers interviewed called the situation in Avdiivka catastrophic.

They explained this by physical exhaustion, as well as shell starvation and constant attacks by Russian aircraft.

Earlier, a Ukrainian prisoner of war spoke about the units that were abandoned during the flight of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from Avdiivka.
