Ukrainian units entrenched at Avdiivka Coke Plant, Russian defence ministry says

The Russian defence ministry said on Sunday that Ukrainian forces left Avdiivka and were entrenched at the nearby Avdiivka Coke and Chemical Plant after Russian units took full control of the town in Ukraine's Donetsk region.

"Measures are being taken to completely clear the city of militants and to block Ukrainian units that have left the city and are entrenched at the Avdiivka Coke and Chemical Plant," Russian Defence Ministry Spokesman Igor Konashenkov said in a video published on the ministry's Telegram channel.
