In the Ukraine war, Russia launched several offensives. There is a kilometer-long Russian military convoy in front of the capital Kyiv. But this one is unlikely to make any headway.
Kyiv – In the Ukraine conflict*, Russia attacks several cities in Ukraine. The troops of Russia’s President Vladimir Putin*, who in a telephone conversation with Chancellor Olaf Scholz pointed to the third round of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine over the weekend, are occupying Europe’s largest nuclear power plant and heavy fighting is raging around the cities of Kharkiv and Mariupol. Meanwhile, a Russian military convoy is waiting in front of Kyiv. However, according to media reports citing the British Ministry of Defence, he is not making any progress on his way to the Ukrainian capital. Current maps of the conflict can be found here.
War in Ukraine: 60-kilometer military convoy stalls outside Kyiv
Accordingly, the column has made “little discernible progress” in the past few days. Therefore, the military convoy is still about 30 kilometers from the center of Kiev, it is said. The standstill of the approximately 60-kilometer line of vehicles resulted from breakdowns, Ukrainian resistance and blocked roads.
In an interview with nv explained the political scientist Sven Bernhard Gareis: “The convoy brings replenishment of large equipment, fuel and ammunition”. This is “a very important task in such a war of aggression” – however, the sluggish progress can also be interpreted as an indication of logistical deficiencies on the Russian side in the Ukraine war. “The poor planning and leadership on the Russian side naturally favored the previous Ukrainian resistance,” Gareis continued.
Ukraine War: Russia attempts to seize several Ukrainian cities
Attempts by the Russian army to capture Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, have also apparently failed so far. That reports nv with reference to information from the US Institute ISW. However, heavy airstrikes would continue to be reported, including on civilian targets such as apartment buildings, shopping centers and commercial areas. There is great destruction in the center of the city.
Erich Vad, former brigadier general in the Bundeswehr and former military adviser to ex-Chancellor Angela Merkel*, has the news channel nv given an up-to-date assessment of the war in Ukraine. He described the kilometer-long military convoy in front of Kyiv as “very irritating”. The former general believes that Putin is generally pursuing the strategy of encircling large cities and “drying them out” before the military invade. Water, gas and oil supplies are cut off by encirclement, so that the residents flee. “And those who stay can no longer fight.” You can read all other information about the military conflict in the Russia-Ukraine war in this news ticker.
