Ukraine's Avdiivka Becoming 'Post-Apocalyptic', City Shuts Down -Official

''KYIV (Reuters) - Russia is turning Ukraine's Avdiivka into "a place from post-apocalyptic movies", intensifying shelling and forcing a nearly full shutdown of the frontline city, the top local official said on Sunday.

Some 2,000 civilians are left in Avdiivka, a Donetsk region city some 90 kilometres (56 miles) southwest of the besieged Bakhmut, according to officials. The city had a pre-war population of more than 30,000.

"I am sad to say this, but Avdiivka is becoming more and more like a place from post-apocalyptic movies," the city's military administration head Vitaliy Barabash said on the Telegram messaging app.''

With Russian forces making recent gradual gains on the flanks of Avdiivka, the Ukrainian military warned last week that the city could become a "second Bakhmut" - where months-long fierce fighting has turned the town into rubble.

So, when is Bakhmut going to fall? You had been saying the fall of Bakhmut is imminent since September, so I am just trying to see where you stand on that issue.

Yeah... Bakhmut is doing great, innit?

Yes it is.  The defense of Bakhmut is stopping the rest of Ukraine from experiencing a similar fate.  Bakhmut is a magnificent killing ground that is destroying the Russians very effectively.  What a pity that Ukraine couldn't hold out longer in Mariupol.

The town is totaled, but Russia can’t take it. That’s saying a lot.

Does anyone remember the Monte Casino Campaign of WW2?  I can see parallels.
