MOSCOW (Sputnik) - On February 18, Russia took full control of the city of Avdeyevka, which is an important stronghold that allows Russian forces to push further to the west, driving back the Kiev regime forces, and preventing them from launching further attacks against Russian towns and cities.
The Russian army has entered the village of Rabotino in the Zaporozhye Region and keeps advancing in this direction, with the Ukrainian armed forces losing "thousands" of people and a huge amount of equipment, regional Governor Yevgeny Balitsky told Sputnik on Sunday.

"The village of Rabotino until recently remained the main symbol of the summer counteroffensive for Ukraine: the Ukrainian armed forces paid a heavy price of thousands of human lives for this piece of crippled land and lost a huge amount of equipment. And, as it turned out, in vain! The situation at the front has changed radically: our valiant soldiers entered Rabotino, completely neutralizing the short-term success of the Ukrainian armed forces," Balitsky said.

The Russian army continues to systematically and persistently advance in this direction, "grinding down" the Ukrainian forces, the official added.
