The UK’s Defense Ministry says intelligence suggests the advance of Russian forces has been slowed by “logistical failures and staunch Ukrainian resistance.”

The ministry says in a tweet that the bulk of Russia’s ground forces remain more than 30 kilometers to the north of the Ukrainian capital Kyiv.

The ministry says Moscow’s troops have “been slowed by Ukrainian forces defending Hostomel airfield, a key Russian objective for day one of the conflict.”
