The fight for the Ukrainian city of Avdiivka is now tougher than the months-long battle for Bakhmut, captured by Russia in May, a brigade fighting in the area said Friday.
“It was difficult there (in Bakhmut) but now it is extremely difficult,” the spokesman of the 3rd Assault Brigade, Oleksandr Borodin, said in televised comments, adding the situation had become “more difficult” because Russian forces are now better equipped.
