Russian troops 30km away from Kyiv, casualties against Ukraine higher than expected: UK

BureauComments Off on Russian troops 30km away from Kyiv, casualties against Ukraine higher than expected: UK
  • Russian forces have continued their march towards Kyiv. The bulk of troops are now 30km from the city’s centre.
  • Russia is yet to establish control of Ukraine’s airspace, which Kyiv ordered shut following Putin’s orders to invade. This has led to a ‘great reduction’ in the effectiveness of the Russian Air Force.
  • As the Ukrainian armed forces continue staunch resistance of their Russian counterparts, Moscow’s casualties are likely to be ‘heavy and greater than anticipated or acknowledged by the Kremlin.’

On the third day of Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine, authorised by President Vladimir Putin on February 24, the United Kingdom’s ministry of defence, in its latest update, said that the bulk of Moscow’s troops were 30km away from Kyiv, the east European nation’s Capital.

“We can confirm the latest developments in Ukraine,” the Defence HQ said on Twitter.
