British military intelligence said today, Saturday, that Ukrainian forces continue to advance against the retreating Russian forces in the vicinity of the capital, Kyiv.
The British Ministry of Defense said in a periodic bulletin that there are also reports of the withdrawal of Russian forces from Hostomel airport near the capital, which has been the subject of fighting since the first day of the conflict. "Ukrainian forces in eastern Ukraine secured a major road in eastern Kharkiv after heavy fighting," the ministry added.
On the 37th day of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which resulted in thousands of civilian and military deaths, the Russian forces are loosening their grip on Kyiv and working to gather their ranks to focus on the east of the country, where they will face an experienced Ukrainian army, which may indicate a "prolonged" conflict that may last months.
