Russian troops ready to storm Kyiv, says Ukrainian military
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has announced that Russian troops were preparing to storm Kyiv.
“A fairly large amount of Russian military equipment and Russian troops are concentrated at the approaches to Kyiv,” Ukraine’s high command said in a bulletin released in the early hours of Monday.
The bulletin explained that Russian troops were aiming to take complete control of the cities of Irpin and Bucha, just outside Kyiv.
Russian troops were also trying to provide a tactical advantage to reach the eastern outskirts of Kyiv through Brovarsky and Boryspil districts, it said.
“We understand that the battle for Kyiv is a key battle which will be fought in the coming days,” Interior Ministry advisor Vadym Denysenko said.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is the central organ of the country’s military forces and oversees operational management of the armed forces under the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine.
The current Chief of the General Staff is Serhiy Korniychuk.
