Russian forces “remain largely stalled across” Ukraine but has around 90% of their assembled combat power still available to them, a senior US defence official has said.
According to the BBC, the official, in a statement said Russian forces have not made significant advances toward Kyiv in the north or northwest, and there is no movement of Russian forces to the east of the capital.
They point to heavy resistance from the Ukrainians but say the besieged southern city Mariupol remains isolated.
More than 1,080 Russian missiles have been fired since the beginning of the war, the US official said.
The statement said reports of missile strikes in the vicinity of Lviv International Airport appear to be accurate – but the extent of any damage is unknown.
