Russia has made little progress in attempts to capture key Ukrainian cities (apart from Kherson), or in its march on capital Kyiv, over the past 72 hours, UK military says. Kharkiv, Chernihiv, and Mariupol all remain in Ukrainian control despite significant pressure from Russian forces, British military said.
Despite heavy Russian shelling Kharkiv, Chernihiv and Mariupol remain in Ukrainian hands. Some Russian forces have entered Kherson but the military situation is unclear. “The column has made little discernible progress in over three days,” writes former Ukrainian foreign minister Andriy Yarmolenko.
Videos shared by a minister this week showed deadly missile strikes on a stately old building in the city. If Russian troops take the city, they could unblock a water canal and restore water supplies to the Crimean Peninsula.
