At 16th On the day of the war in Ukraine, Friday March 11, the Russian strategy to reach the country’s capital, Kiev, has changed. After the columns, the tanks position themselves to encircle the city.

According to satellite images from an American company, Russian troops continue to encircle Kiev (Ukraine), Friday, March 11. The Russian armored vehicles and tanks disperse at several points, after approaching the capital, in a column 60 km long. For Marc Cancian, expert at the Center and strategic international studies, it is an adaptation of the Russian army, which has encountered problems. “They focused on the roads first, partly because the terrain was too muddy (…) but when you are on the roads you are very vulnerable”.

Thursday, March 10, a Russian convoy located north of Kiev was thus bombarded. But the Russians are progressing towards the capital, passing by the west. To fight, the Ukrainian army carries out guerrilla actions. These are supported by the Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky who affirmed “we are moving towards victory”.
