A senior U.S. Department of Defense official revealed the latest analysis of the situation of Russia's military invasion on the 26th.
Russian troops have deployed about 50% of the combat forces deployed around the Ukrainian border into Ukraine so far, some reaching 30 kilometers north of the Ukrainian capital Kiev. I am analyzing.
Ukrainian troops continue to resist fiercely around the capital Kiev and around Kharkov in the northeast.
"It looks like the Russian army is frustrated by the lack of momentum," said the official, due to Ukrainian resistance.
In the south, Russian troops continue to advance, with thousands of troops deployed to the west of Mariupol, facing the Sea of Azov, heading towards the westward city of Kherson.
The Russian army has launched more than 250 ballistic missiles and other items, causing damage to infrastructure and residential areas.
The Russian side has analyzed that it has not deprived Ukraine of air superiority and has not been able to control any city at this time, but said that "the situation can change from moment to moment" and is paying close attention to the situation.
