"I'm sorry to say this, but Avdivka looks more and more like a place from post-apocalyptic movies," wrote the head of the city's military administration Vitaly Barabash on the Telegram channel.
With Russian forces gradually advancing on Avdivka recently, the Ukrainian army warned last week that the city could become "another Bakhmut" where months of fierce fighting have reduced the city to rubble.
