Russian forces have made significant progress in eastern Ukraine, seizing territory near Avdiivka, as part of an apparent push to gain ground before western military aid arrives. Footage shows the Russian flag flying over the village of Ocheretyne, bypassing Ukrainian defenses. Ukraine's regional armed forces admit a "difficult situation" as reinforced Russian units advance, using various weapons including alleged chemical ones. The capture of Ocheretyne positions Russia closer to Pokrovsk, while a large offensive targets Chasiv Yar. Despite impending aid, Ukraine's President Zelenskiy seeks additional weapons to regain initiative as the conflict intensifies.
