Some Ukrainian troops were captured by Russia during their withdrawal from the town of Avdiivka, Ukrainian Brigadier-General Oleksandr Tarnavskyi said on Saturday.
"At the final stage of the (withdrawal) operation, under the pressure of the overwhelming enemy forces, a certain number of Ukrainian servicemen were captured," Tarnavskyi wrote on Telegram.
He said Ukrainian troops had now moved to the second line of defences near Avdiivka.
