MOSCOW, Feb. 20: Russian forces have taken full control of the Avdiivka coke and chemical plant, the country's defense ministry said in a statement on Monday.

It has been a year since the Russia-Ukraine war. The war is still going on and shows no signs of stopping. Thousands have already died, injured and maimed, thousands of houses and structures have been destroyed. This war has not brought benefits to anyone, nor will it in the future.
