Russian Forces Seize Avdiivka as Biden Blames "Congressional Inaction" for Ukrainian Losses
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In news from Ukraine, Russian forces have seized full control of the
city of Avdiivka in Donetsk. Some military experts have described the
fall of Avdiivka as Russia's biggest victory in nine months since
Russian troops captured Bakhmut. The Biden administration blamed the
fall of Avdiivka on "congressional inaction" as U.S. lawmakers have yet
to approve a request for $60 billion in new military aid.
