The urban area of ​​the Ukrainian capital is beyond the range of Russian artillery.

But the threat persists.

The Ukrainian army made advances in the northwest of kyiv, even leading to the beginning of a pocketing of Russian troops in the Borodyanka area.

Although timid, these victories question Russia's ability to sustain a siege of the city, as Defense Ministry spokesman Colonel Oleksandr Motuzyanyk acknowledged at a press conference.

Before the media, the military named an extensive list of towns, villages and neighborhoods on the outskirts of Kiev that, according to what he indicated,

had been "liberated".

Although he blamed much of the success on army operations, the increasingly self-confident Ukrainian hinted that Russian units had "partially" withdrawn from kyiv.

In other words: that, at least for the moment,

taking the biggest city in Ukraine is not in Russia's plans

.

Shake it, maybe yes.

"We cannot predict what will happen, and we are not going to reduce our defenses,"

said Motuzyanyk, who assured that "currently, Russian troops are not enough to attack the capital. That does not mean that they will not do so in the future."

Several reasons motivate his caution: the greater Russian firepower, the fact that rockets, missiles and bombs dropped from planes continue to haunt kyiv and the certainty that everything can suddenly change with a 'swerve' from the Kremlin.
