Russian forces make limited advances toward Kyiv, Pentagon says:
Russian forces have made incremental progress in their efforts to take the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv, according to a senior U.S. defense official.
The official, who spoke to reporters on Thursday, said the Pentagon has assessed that Russian troops have moved about three miles closer to the city center in the past day, after essentially being stalled for multiple days.
“We see Russian forces continue to advance their troops, they’re really along two sort of parallel lines there, and we assess that the northernmost of those two lines, the closest line has reached about 40 kilometers east of Kyiv,” the official said. “You’re starting to see a little bit of that happening in just the last 24 [hours] as they begin to creep a little closer towards Kyiv from the northwest.” —>READ MORE HERE

The British agency said Russia confirmed it has used a mobile rocket-launching system typically equipped with thermobaric warheads, which suck up the air around targets and can rupture people’s lungs.
US officials had earlier confirmed the presence of thermobaric-capable launchers in Ukraine but couldn’t say whether they’d been used. —>READ MORE HERE
