"It's not too late for Ukraine to prevail," NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has said, but Kyiv's forces look set for a grinding slog in the short term.

Russian forces pushing westward from Avdiivka are seeking fresh gaps in Ukraine's strained defensive lines.

As the U.S. took months to approve the next package of much-needed military aid to Kyiv, Russia used the moment to step up its offensive operations in Ukraine. After capturing Avdiivka and multiple villages in the east, Moscow now has its eyes on the next primary target, the town of Chasiv Yar. Outgunned and outnumbered, Ukrainian troops are fighting against an over 20,000 Russian grouping to defend the strategically important town.

Russia's Investigative Committee (IC) has brought charges against Volodymyr Hroisman, former speaker of Ukraine's parliament, Pavlo Klimkin, former foreign minister, and Yurii Stets, former minister of information policy.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine disclosed Ukrainian military’s efforts to repel attacks in the vicinity of Lastochkyne, while DeepState military portal reported Russian troops’ occupation of the settlement on the Avdiivka direction on Feb. 24.
