Russia assault stalls, US officials says; Zelenskyy to address Congress on Wednesday: Live Ukraine updates

Almost all of Russias assaults on Ukrainian cities remain stalled, and there have been little or no advances made over the weekend, a senior U.S. Defense Department source said Monday.

Ukrainian resistance to the Russian invasion remains strong, particularly around the cities of Kyiv and Cherniv, according to the official who was not authorized to speak publicly about intelligence assessments.

The U.S. official acknowledged that some cities have been surrounded and face increasing bombardment from Russian long-range artillery and missile attacks. Russia has fired more than 900 missiles at Ukrainian targets since the invasion began, and the attacks have become increasingly indiscriminate, the official said.

Russia, despite its advantages in warplanes, has not dominated Ukrainian airspace, the official said.

Elsewhere in Ukraine, about 50 Russian vehicles moved southeast of Kharkiv, apparently seeking to link up with Russian forces in the south, the official said. They appear intent on cutting off Ukrainian troops fighting in the eastern part of the country.

The long-stalled Russian convoy north of Kyiv remains mostly stuck, the official said.

Ukraine has an air force

The problem is its smaller than Russia.

That's why they are begging for Jets.

If the US/Poland gave them Jets, it would be impossible for Russia to take over their targets quickly

Oh true, I just thought Russia had enough air superiority jets to have established dominance by this point
