Therefore, in the case of Avdiivka, the city was closed immediately.

From there, civilians are evacuated together with city services and preparations are being made for defense.

"By the way, Avdiivka has always been such an outpost. And there are sections of the front in Avdiivka that are still in positions on February 23, 2022. We have not advanced a single meter. We are preparing for the defense of this city," the military expert added.
