Kyiv: Russia is trying to surround Avdiivka

Kyiv reported “heated” fighting around its eastern city of Avdiivka Saturday, saying Russian forces had “not stopped assaulting” the symbolic industrial hub for days in their attempt to surround it. Ukraine last week said Russia had stepped up assaults on the frontline city, which lies just 15km from Moscow-held Donetsk.
