The United States and Western allies are still able to deliver arms into the country to bolster the Ukraine military. The U.S. also vowed to send more in the coming days to combat the Russian forces.

Russia has so far at least 50% of its invasion plans with Ukraine but is now slowly making progress.
“We have indications that the Russians are increasingly frustrated by their lack of momentum over the last 24 hours, particularly in the north parts of Ukraine,” the official said.
A Russian military official said that they have been ordered to broaden military operations in Kyiv.

“Today all units were given orders to develop the advance from all directions in accordance with the operation’s plans,” Russian army spokesman Igor Konashenkov announced.
198 civilians, including three children, had been killed so far. Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelensky still refuse to back down from Russia’s attacks.
