This is why we can't have nice things, like trust in the rule of law.
Avdiivka was liberated by Ukrainian forces on 28-30 July 2014, after months under pro-Russian militants. For nearly a decade it withstood constant shelling.
In Feb 2024, the situation became critical. Russian forces cut off all supply routes, and on 17 Feb, Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi ordered withdrawal of Ukrainian troops to avoid encirclement and save lives.
Russia then razed the city and has used it as a military base since Feb 2024.
The once-vibrant Avdiivka now lies in ruins.

By Refusing to Show Faces or Badges, ICE Opens Door to Vigilante Impersonators
The agency’s tactics have led to a rash of crimes committed by people impersonating federal agents
Witnesses have recorded numerous instances of masked ICE agents conducting raids and violently arresting people.
In New York City, a masked federal agent handcuffed city comptroller and then-Democratic mayoral candidate Brad Lander
after he linked arms with a man who ICE was attempting to detain and demanded to see a judicial warrant.
In another incident, a masked agent attempted to arrest a landscaper, Dennis Guillen, who had been working on the grounds of a California medical clinic.
A video of the incident shows clinic staff demanding that the officer identify himself.
Despite their protests, the man was arrested.
Fox News reported that federal authorities later arrested two of the staff members for assaulting a federal officer,
actions that are not depicted on the video.
