Since the beginning of the invasion of Ukrainian territory, Russia has already fired about 600 missiles against the neighboring country. The number equates to approximately 95% of the Russian combat power accumulated inside Ukraine. The information was provided by a senior US defense official this Sunday (6).
The US observed continued fighting in Kherson and Mykolaiv on Sunday and Russian forces are still trying to encircle the capital Kiev, as well as the cities of Kharkhiv, Chernihiv and Mariupol, according to the official.
The offensives, however, were met with strong Ukrainian resistance, which ended up delaying the Russian attack, led by Vladimir Putin’s forces.
Meanwhile, the massive Russian convoy north of Kiev, which stretches along some 40 kilometers of road, remains at a standstill, but there is no update on the distance from the capital. At the end of last week, it was approximately 25 kilometers from downtown.
The US official also said that he believes that the Ukrainian people, in most parts of the country, still have access to means of communication, such as the internet. He also said the US had not observed an amphibious attack near Odessa and did not assess the possibility of an imminent attack there.
The official could not confirm reports of Russians shooting protesters in Kiev or violations of the ceasefire agreement to allow humanitarian corridors. He also said he was unable to corroborate reports that the Russians were calling up reserve soldiers.
