A Russian military convoy traveling towards the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv has grown from being 17 miles long earlier on Monday to 40 miles, a satellite company has said. Maxar Technologies, a private U.S. satellite company, also said additional ground forces deployments and ground attack helicopter units were seen in southern Belarus, less than 20 miles north of the Ukraine border. Maxar said the convoy stretches from the Antonov airbase, 17 miles north of Kyiv’s city center, to just north of the Ukrainian town of Pribyrsk. Pribyrsk is closer to the Ukraine-Belarus border and the failed nuclear reactor at Chernobyl than to Kyiv. On Sunday, Maxar had measured the convoy — then near Ivankiv, Ukraine — at roughly 3.5 miles long. The line of vehicles is so extensive that it was not entirely captured in today’s satellite imagery. In some areas, the vehicles are two to three rows deep. It was not clear whether the convoy was all headed for the same final destination, or whether the military forces would split up and encircle the capital.

There are reports that US Satellite Image Company Maxar has shown images of the Russian military convoy near Kyiv that stretches approximately 40 mile

Satellite images captured on February 28 show a large deployment of Russian ground forces, containing hundreds of military vehicles, moving towards Kyiv, according to Maxar Technologies, the company that captured them. The imagery shows the southern end of the convoy on the T-1011 highway near the Antonov Airport in Hostomel, around 17 miles from Kyiv’s city center. Military vehicles and equipment are shown in the areas of Irpin, Stoyanka, Zdvyzhivka, the Ivankivs’kyi district, and in Ozera, all of which are close to the airport. Evidence of fighting can be seen in Irpin, where the images show burned-out vehicles and damage to part of a bridge over the Irpin River, and in Stoyanka, where both lanes of a bridge over the same river have collapsed.

President Vladimir Putin put Russia’s nuclear deterrent on high alert on Sunday, February 27 in the face of a barrage of Western reprisals for his war on Ukraine, which said it had repelled Russian ground forces attacking its biggest cities. The United States said Putin was escalating the war with “dangerous rhetoric”, amid signs that the biggest assault on a European state since World War Two was not producing rapid victories, but instead generating a far-reaching and concerted Western response. Less than four days after it started, the invasion has triggered a Western political, strategic, economic and corporate response unprecedented in its extent and coordination. “With this war on Ukraine, the world will never be the same again,” EU’s foreign policy chief Josef Borrell wrote in an opinion piece in the Guardian newspaper. “It is now, more than ever, the time for societies and alliances to come together to build our future on trust, justice and freedom. It is the moment to stand up and to speak out.

PARIS, France — The focus of fighting on day four of Russia’s invasion appeared to be around Ukraine’s second biggest city, Kharkiv, which lies close to the Russian border in northwest Ukraine. This Maxar satellite image taken and released on February 27, 2022, shows the damage caused by recent airstrikes and heavy fighting at Antonov Airport in Hostomel, Ukraine.

Russian forces in lightly armoured vehicles broke into the city of Kharkiv earlier on Sunday, according to the head of the regional administration, Oleg Sinegubov, and an AFP correspondent in the city heard machine gun fire and explosions.

Satellite imaging company MAXAR shows that significant Russian infantry forces are advancing towards Kyiv and are approximately 64 kilometers from the Ukrainian capital.

KYIV/DONETSK: Russian President Vladimir Putin authorised a military operation in eastern Ukraine on Thursday in what appeared to be the start of war in Europe over Russia''s demands for an end to NATO''s eastward expansion. Shortly after Putin spoke in a special televised address on Russian state TV, explosions could be heard in the pre-dawn quiet of the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv. Gunfire rattled near the capital''s main airport, the Interfax news agency said. Explosions also rocked the breakaway eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk and civilian aircraft were warned away as the United States said a major attack by Russia on its neighbour was imminent. Putin said he had authorised a special military operation in breakaway areas of eastern Ukraine and clashes between Russian and Ukrainian forces were only a matter of time. Hours earlier, pro-Russian separatists issued a plea to Moscow for help to stop alleged Ukrainian aggression - claims the United States dismissed as Russian propaganda. Biden slaps sanctions on Russia''s Nord Stream 2 pipeline Putin said he had ordered Russian forces to protect the people and demanded Ukrainian forces lay down their arms. "All responsibility for bloodshed will be on the conscience of the ruling regime in Ukraine," Putin said.

Separatists in Ukraine asked for Russian help to repel “aggression” on Wednesday, February 23, and Kyiv announced compulsory military service and a state of emergency as the West slapped more sanctions on Moscow in a bid to stop an all-out invasion. In one of the worst post-Cold War security crises in Europe for decades, convoys of military equipment, including nine tanks, moved towards the eastern Ukrainian area of Donetsk from the direction of the Russian border, a Reuters witness reported. Shelling has intensified in the east, where Russian President Vladimir Putin has recognized two separatist regions as independent and ordered the deployment of what he called peacekeepers, a move the West calls the start of an invasion. But there was still no clear indication of whether Putin will launch a massed assault on Ukraine with the tens of thousands of troops he has gathered on its borders. Moscow has long denied that it has plans to invade. The leaders of the two breakaway areas want Putin to intervene. “I am asking for help to repel the Ukrainian regime’s military aggression against the population of the Donetsk People’s Republic,” said Denis Pushilin who heads the area Moscow recognized as independent, according to TASS news agency.

Various sources but nothing official. Having siad this its not something that would be getting an official announcement. Meanwhile, satellite imagery firm Maxar: says latest images show number of new deployments in western Russiasays deployments seen in Wednesday''s imagery are within 10 m

Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed the Russians on the occasion of Defender of the Fatherland Day, celebrated today. According to a televised video broadcast by the Kremlin, our country is always ready for direct and open dialogue, for seeking diplomatic solutions to the most complex problems. At the same time, Russia''s interests, the security of our citizens, are unconditional for us. The president did not mention Ukraine in the message. However, it was published just over a day after the head of state recognized the people''s republics in Donbas. He then commented twice more - in a statement at a meeting with his Azerbaijani counterpart Ilham Aliyev - the reasons why he believes that Ukraine and its hypothetical accession to NATO are a threat to Russia''s interests. We see how complex the international situation is, what the dangers of existing challenges are, such as expanding arms control systems or NATO''s military activity. Russia''s calls for a system of equal and indivisible security that will reliably protect all parties remain unanswered, said Vladimir Putin.
