Photos from satellite have shown that the huge Russian convoy has appeared to be dispersed. The convoy had been stationed outside the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv. Maxar Technologies said satellite images taken on Thursday showed that the 40 miles long line of vehicles, tanks and artillery has broken up and been redeployed.
Satellite images taken on Thursday show that elements of the convoy towards the north have been repositioned. They are now deployed in forests and along tree lines near Lubyanka.
The convoy’s redeployment comes with the reports that Russian forces have reached the northeastern edge of Kyiv, where suburbs including Irpin and Bucha have witnessed days of heavy bombardment.
The images also show the armed troops and found manoeuvring in and through the surrounding towns close to the airport in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine. The convoy had massed outside the city early last week, but it appeared to have stopped amid reports of food and fuel shortages.
The vehicles in the convoy were changing positions but it was not clear whether they were being redeployed or securing supply lines. The reports said.
“We don’t know if they are moving to other parts and are strengthening other offensives that might be going on or whether they are trying to secure supply lines for an entry into Kyiv in the coming days,” “It is a significant change of tactic if they are redeploying them elsewhere but if they are resupplying them, that could suggest they are getting for an offensive into Kyiv.” says the Aljazeera reporter from Kyiv.
Some analysts have said this week Russia was gradually overcoming logistical issues and was preparing for a ground assault on the capital.
