Russian forces repositioning near Kyiv

Satellite images of a Russian convoy near Kyiv appear to show forces redeploying to nearby areas, potentially signaling a renewed push towards the Ukrainian capital, reported British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).

According to Maxar Technologies, elements of the convoy - which was last seen northwest of nearby Antonov Airport - have moved into positions in surrounding towns.

Maxar said that other images show other parts of the convoy to the north have positioned themselves near Lubyanka, and set up artillery positions nearby, said BBC.

Earlier on Thursday, a senior US defence official said that Russian forces have moved three miles (5km) closer to Kyiv in the past 24 hours, the report added.
