On the two-year anniversary of the Ukraine war, February 24 2022 - February 24 2024, significant military movements have been reported in eastern Ukraine. Russia has captured the frontline town of Rabotino in Zaporozhia oblast and the Ukrainian village of Lastochkyne, located approximately five kilometers northwest of Avdiivka. Ukrainian forces, acknowledging these strategic shifts, have withdrawn from Lastochkyne and are now reinforcing their positions in the western outskirts and nearby villages such as Orlivka, Tonenke, and Berdychi to halt further Russian advances. The retreat from Lastochkyne was confirmed by Dmytro Lykhovy, a spokesperson from the Operational-Strategic Group of Forces Tavria, and reported by various news outlets. This development comes as Russian forces continue to press westward, leveraging their advantages in manpower and ammunition, and as Ukrainian forces face severe shortages and a lack of prepared fallback defense lines.
