In the last 24 hours, Russian forces have retreated more than 30 kilometers east of the Ukrainian capital Kiev. On a few fronts they have begun to take a defensive stance. A senior Pentagon official made the claim on Wedn
The senior official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told reporters that the Ukrainians had managed to evacuate the Russians 55 kilometers east and northeast of Kiev. This change has come from yesterday. The Pentagon said on Tuesday that Russian forces were stationed 20 kilometers from the center of the capital.
Regarding the situation in the northeast, the official said, they are digging like a moat and taking a defensive position. However, this does not mean that they are not moving forward. They're not really trying to move forward at the moment.
More than one million Ukrainians have been displaced. So far, many analysts see no way out of this conflict.
With millions of dollars in Western arms aid, Ukrainian forces have unexpectedly put up a massive resistance. The Pentagon says Russian forces have been stopped 10 kilometers from the center of the northeastern city of Chernihiv in Kiev. The official said that they (Russian forces) have stopped and in some places they are leaving the position. They're actually moving in the opposite direction, but not too much. He claims that there is intense fighting in eastern Kharkiv. Russian forces are still 15-20 kilometers away from the city center. They are facing stiff resistance from Ukrainian forces.
Several missiles were fired from Russian warships at Odessa earlier this week. The bomber struck shortly after noon in front of a U.S. military base.
Earlier in the day, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said Ukrainian forces were holding their ground. Occasionally there are attacks. They are chasing the Russians and pushing them out of their positions.
However, the Russian navy is using the Berdynsk port in the Azov Sea to the south for fuel. But in the end, the Pentagon did not see much change around Odessa on the Black Sea coast. The Russian attack on Ukraine took place on Thursday, the 29th day. Moscow has been claiming that this special military operation is going ahead as planned. So far, however, the Ukrainian military has demanded that Russian forces be prevented from achieving their goals.
Where is the Russia-Ukraine crisis heading?
How many troops did Putin lose in the month-long Ukraine war?
Ukraine is about to complete a month of war. A kind of smokescreen has been created about how many Russian soldiers have been killed so far in this war.
One side of the ongoing war is Ukraine. The Western intelligence service has denied the allegations in a statement issued Friday stating "Similar, baseless allegations concerning Russia's intelligence have been made more than once.
Moscow has said little about the casualties of Russian troops in Ukraine. The casualty figures for the Russian military are said to be much lower than the actual number.
On the other hand, there is no way to be sure that the West is reporting casualties on Russian troops. The Western media itself says they have not been able to independently verify the information.
