MOSCOW, February 18. /TASS/. Russia’s Defense Ministry has published shots of units of the Ukrainian army fleeing Avdeyevka before the Commander-in-Chief Alexander Syrsky's order.

"Crowds of fleeing members of the Ukrainian armed forces are moving along roads that are under constant fire control of the Russian army, before the Commander-in-Chief Syrsky's order," according to ministry’s commentaries to shots.

Separate scattered units of Ukrainian militants only managed to leave Avdeyevka, having left weapons and military equipment, the ministry added.

The published videos show Russian gunmen attacking personnel and equipment of the Ukrainian army with accurate firepower.

The Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief’s order on leaving the town was only issued 24 hours after the Ukrainian army started fleeing it, the ministry noted.
