Highlights: The Rada complained about the lack of fortifications of the Ukrainian Armed Forces after the flight from Avdiivka. It is difficult for retreating troops to go on the defensive, he emphasized. The situation at the front will begin to develop rapidly, the Advance publication wrote. On February 17, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu reported to President Vladimir Putin about the capture of Avdievka. The Russian Armed Forces captured Avdeevka by the Russian Armed forces on February 17.

After fleeing from Avdeevka, the Ukrainian Armed Forces did not have defensive fortifications on which to gain a foothold, said Roman Kostenko, deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.

Kostenko, who serves as secretary of the Committee on National Security, Defense and Intelligence, noted that the lack of our defensive positions to which we can retreat is “the biggest problem.”

It is difficult for retreating troops to go on the defensive, he emphasized.

“They had to be prepared in such a way that there were positions.

The retreating troops had to go behind the defending troops,” RIA Novosti quotes him as saying.
