The latest details about Russia’s attack on Ukraine:
Russians holding around Kyiv
11:54 a.m. EST March 1
Russian troops staged around the outside of Ukraine’s capital city appear to be in a holding pattern of some kind, a senior U.S. defense official told reporters Tuesday.
Formations that had been moving toward Kyiv are essentially in the same spot today as they were Monday, the official sending, roughly 17 miles outside the city center.

..."Why has the Russian advance on Kyiv stalled?
(AFP/-) (-) The Russian military advance on Kyiv has momentarily stalled, hampered by Ukrainian resistance as well as fuel and food shortages, a senior US defense official said Tuesday. "We generally sense that the Russian military movement... the overarching movement on Kyiv, is stalled at this point," the official told reporters."

If you have a convoy 17 miles long and thousands of military personnel, you had better consider resupply, even if it must be brought up from the rear. It’s beyond my comprehension why the Ukrainians aren’t attacking the vehicles stalled for miles. That would further exacerbate the situation. JMHO
