On Monday, publicly available satellite images showed a Russian military convoy north of Kyiv stretching for about 64 km (40 miles).A majority of Russian missile launches had come from inside of Ukraine as Russia moved in mobile systems, the official said, adding that the United States could still not confirm the presence or use of thermobaric weapons in Ukraine.British Defence Secretary Ben Wallace earlier on Thursday said Putin had deployed thermobaric weapons systems in Ukraine. read more The U.S. official said: "We know that they have the launching systems available to them in Ukraine that could be used for rockets that have a thermobaric warhead on them.

Early on, the Russians were targeting military locations, so barracks, fuel and ammunition depots, airfields, for example. And the Russians are forced to stay on the roads. Russian forces have captured the southern port city of Kherson in Ukraine. It's the first city that's fallen since Russian forces invaded a little over a week ago. Now with the seizure of that city, Russian forces could either move north toward Kyiv or, perhaps, west toward Odesa on the coast. But they seem to be stalled north of the capital, Kyiv, where Ukrainian forces and volunteers are fiercely resisting. But now Ukrainian forces and civilians are putting up a stubborn fight right now.
