Ukraine troops pull out of key eastern town Avdiivka

Ukraine troops have pulled out of the key eastern town of Avdiivka, following heavy fighting with pro-Russian separatist forces.

The town, located near the city of Donetsk, has been a focal point of clashes in the ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine.

The withdrawal comes as part of a ceasefire agreement reached between the two sides, aimed at de-escalating tensions in the region.

Both Ukraine and separatist forces have accused each other of violating the ceasefire, with sporadic fighting continuing despite the agreement.

The situation in eastern Ukraine remains volatile, with both sides trading blame for the ongoing violence.
