Russian invasion ‘largely stalled’ – US defence official

The Russian invasion remains largely stalled across all their lines of advance, with troops not having moved any further towards Kyiv since last week, Qazet.az reports.

The Russians have launched more than 1,100 missiles, but may be facing some “inventory issues”, the official said. Some missiles have failed to launch, some have failed to explode, the official added.

The US is unable to confirm or refute Russia’s claim that it used a hypersonic missile, the official said, adding it wasn’t clear why the missile would have been needed, but that the Russians may have been running low on precision guided missiles, or have wanted to send a message.
