For a few days now, Ukrainian military forces have been on the counterattack In all areas around the northern suburbs, but also in the east and west. Now it is clear that the Russians are in retreatin some sectors only a handful of kilometres, but in others up to thirty kilometers, rendering useless a large part of the artillery batteries and Grad rockets, which, according to their original plans, should have bombed Kyiv so hard to weaken its resistance.

The three bridges were destroyed

Yesterday morning we traveled about 25 kilometers to reach Fishhord: one of the towns lies on the road taken a month ago by a giant caravan (real military corps) from Belarus, passing through Chernobyl, He should have handed over victory to Putin quickly. The street was quiet, little traffic and few military vehicles visible. As we were entering the urban circuit along the Dnieper River, and a soldier was displaying the three bridges destroyed three weeks earlier to prevent Russian armored vehicles from advancing to the nearby power plant, news came from Moscow that Russian forces were entering a new phase.

From the first days of the war, it was clear to us that the Russians did not have the possibility to enter the urban circle of the capital.

Filmed or identified, not the only one. even in The guards at the local hospital proved to be hostile. They say that photos and interviews are prohibited.

Resistance

Optimism radiates from Kyiv to other provinces. Even two days ago, it seemed that only the areas bordering the Donbass and Kherson River were under full Russian control.
