(Reuters) – Russian forces around Kyiv have lost their offensive capacity and are changing tactics to favour long-range attacks more than direct fighting, the deputy chief of staff of Ukraine’s ground forces said on Thursday.
Speaking in an online video address about the defence of the capital, Oleksandr Gruzevich said: “The enemy has almost exhausted its offensive potential, but the forces that remain around Kyiv are not small.”
