Russia has made “limited progress” in its attack on Ukraine Friday, according to the latest British defense intelligence update.
“Fighting continues in key locations. Russia has made limited progress so far today and Ukraine retains control of key cities. Ukranian MOD reports that Russian forces have arrived in the suburbs of Kyiv,” the UK Ministry of Defence tweeted Friday.
“Russian strikes and exchange of artillery fire continued throughout the night and into the morning,” it said, adding that they continue to see “no evidence of strikes in Lviv.”
As Russian forces advance on the Ukrainian capital, the authorities are calling on the population to do everything they can to resist the invading troops.
Both the Ministry of Defence and the Interior Ministry are appealing to Kyiv residents to “inform us of troop movements, to make Molotov cocktails and neutralise the enemy”.
A leaflet with step-by step instructions of how to make petrol bombs has been posted on the Ministry of the Interior’s social media.
