Russia fired over 900 missiles at Ukraine, ground offensive stuck -- Pentagon

A senior defense official at the Pentagon says Russia has fired over 900 missiles at targets in Ukraine since the start of the war nearly three weeks ago.

“”What we’re seeing on the ground is a continued military effort to subdue these population centers and to do it now with ever more violence using more and more long-range fires, which are increasingly indiscriminate in terms of what they’re hitting,” the official says in a Defense Department release.

The official says Russia has not managed to secure air superiority, noting that Ukraine is still well stocked with arms to continue frustrating Russia’s advance.

“Almost all of Russia’s advances remain stalled,” the official says.
