Most of the Russian forces were at the end of the day about 30 km north of the capital, held back by Ukrainian resistance, according to the UK Ministry of Defense.
However, new satellite images have revealed that a huge Russian tank convoy is headed for Kiev.
The images, detailed by BBC Mundo, were taken before noon on Monday local time in Kiev, showing military units near the Antonov airport, about 27 kilometers away from the center of the capital.
According to Maxar Technologies, the company that released the photographs, the convoy has about 64 kilometers long and contains “hundreds of armored vehicles, tanks, artillery and logistics support vehicles.”
In the same way, west and northwest of Kiev, satellite images show destroyed armored vehicles and a damaged bridge near Irpin and Stoyanka.
In addition, Maxar added that new photos show troops on the ground and attack helicopters in southern Belarus, less than 30 kilometers from the border with Ukraine.
massive attacks
As the convoy moves on, Russia is attacking Ukraine on several fronts, but its advance has been slowed by Ukrainian resistance
Ukraine’s second largest city, Kharkiv, has been one of the hardest hit.
The authorities in Kharkiv and the Ukrainian Interior Ministry reported that dozens of civilians were killed by “massive rocket attacks.”
Images posted by civilians on social media showed an artillery explosion that some defense analysts described as typical of a cluster bomb attack in a densely populated urban area.
