Pentagon says there remains ‘limited to no progress’ by Russian forces

The Pentagon believes that Russian forces have made only limited advancements in Ukraine as the third week of their invasion nears the end.

Russian forces have achieved “limited to no progress,” and their “leading elements” heading toward the capital, Kyiv, “have not appreciably advanced on the city,” a senior defense official said Tuesday. They are roughly 10 miles from Kyiv to the northwest, and others coming from the east are about 15 miles away. Residential areas in Kyiv are being “struck with increasing frequency” and remain “under bombardment by long-range fires.”
