We just walked the pipe and appeared close to HQ. They were surprised, some ran away, some gave up... It allowed minimizing casualties both for us and for them
The leader of storm group "Veterans", DNR

It's been hell, real hell. I've seen everything except nuclear explosion in the recent two days... I didn't know the point from which they didn't attack, they attacked from everywhere... If we wouldn't surrender, everything would have been turned to rubble
Ukrainian prisoner

Someone wants to live in Manhattan, someone needs to see Paris and die, someone craves for a Dubai skyscraper, and as a typical Donetsk guy I want to see Avdeevka for a long time. And now I'm in Avdeevka. I see Donetsk airport from the other side. Donetsk is clearly seen from here. From here Ukrainian military could see entire Donetsk and shoot wherever they want. And Ukrainian military was doing it many years. Finally, it's history
Denis, Donetsk cameraman

I don't want war, I don't want people suffer from war, including citizens of Ukraine. War in Donbass was going 8 years. And nobody cared when artillery was shooting at us. And as soon as the stockpiles of artillery rounds and the military were hit by rockets - it's then global society express outrage. Excuse me, it's much better than if these arillery rounds would have exploded somewhere around Donetsk
Victoria, Donetsk

Ukrainian military were so cruel, they made real terror acts. Once I saw how they blew up a house and 16 people were left laying under the rubble. They killed four in the supermarket...
Avdeevka citizen

We lived in the basement entire last year, we almost never ascend to the surfice in the recent three months - only to pick some wood for the fire. We hid from drones. And then I meet people - and they say they're Russians. I asked cautiously, because, you know, previously our men were lured out and sent to die. And he confirmed he's Russian. We gave them food, they didn't eat two days
Avdeevka lady

My house was destroyed on 15th of February, I continued living in it's basement. And once I climb up and see Russians. Now I'm safe
Avdeevka man

Spartak village had 3500 citizens before, now there are 42... We didn't have neither light, nor gas, nor water since 2014
Spartak village dweller, outskirts of Avdeevka

We brought food, warm things, medication and personal post
Vladimir, corrdinator of humanitarian projects of 1st Donetsk Army Corp

Our specialists from Harzyzsk and Yasinovataya towns come to temporary housing where Avdeevka citizens live and help them acquire means of social support
Tatiana, deputy minister of labour and social policy of Donetsk people republic

Free housing will be provided for Avdeevka citizens, same as was in Mariupol
Denis Pushilin, head of Donetsk people republic

We are in Avdeevka. City took damage similar to Mariupol. As soon as the line of contact will move away from Avdeevka, we'll restore everything quickly. Gratitude to our soldiers who liberated this town. Today we assessed condition of the city, administration of DNR did it earlier. We'll start restoration from electricity and water. Central heating is severely damaged yet it can be restored before winter comes
Marat Husnullin, Deputy chief of Russian government, March the 2nd, 2024

Demining Avdeevka streets is completed. Some booby traps and other explosives might still be found inside the houses, they will be cleared shortly
