Russian forces may be positioning themselves for new attacks within days against Kyiv, British defence chiefs warned on Friday, APA reports citing Standard.
The latest intelligence briefing from the Ministry of Defence said: “Russia is likely seeking to reset and re-posture its forces for renewed offensive activity in the coming days. This will probably include operations against the capital Kyiv.”
Separate reports said a 40-mile column of tanks and other military vehicles outside Kyiv had dispersed into local towns and artillery units were being moved into firing positions.
The convoy has advanced about three miles closer to the Ukrainian capital, a US defence official said on Friday, with some elements as close as nine miles from the city.
