Russia Slows Attacks on Key Ukraine City After Sustaining Heavy Losses

Russia has scaled back attacks on Avdiivka recently after heavy losses in the Donetsk offensive.

Ukraine says Russia has "run out of breath" after 10 attacks Tuesday and 5 Wednesday, down from 15+ daily.

Russia has lost 5 times more military equipment than Ukraine in the week-long Avdiivka assault.

Avdiivka is a heavily fortified city with 10,000 Ukrainian troops, threatening Russian supply lines.

Putin annexed Donetsk despite forces not controlling it fully, including the key city Avdiivka.
