The Ukrainian military says that Russian troops have slowed down “the pace of the offensive,” as Moscow’s assault against Ukraine enters its fifth day.

“The Russian occupiers have reduced the pace of the offensive, but are still trying to develop success in some areas,” the general staff of the armed forces says.
