Russian troops are retreating after being repelled from a strategic Kyiv suburb, Ukraine has claimed, in a move which could stop Vladimir Putin's forces from surrounding the capital.
Ukraine’s armed forces said Moscow has lost its 'offensive potential' and reinforcements were being called in from the 'depths' of Russia to help them capture Makariv, a city located 37 miles from Kyiv.
Ukrainian forces have been fighting back in Makariv in order to prevent Russian forces from surrounding the capital.
The armed forces claimed the 'heroic actions of our defenders' have forced Russian troops back while a counterattack in the south has pushed Putin's forces in the direction of Mykolayiv, a city near the Black Sea.
In an update issued today, Ukraine's armed forces said: 'Having lost the offensive potential, the Russian occupying troops continue forming and deploying the reserves from the depths of the Russian Federation to the borders of Ukraine.'
Elsewhere, the Ukrainian think tank, The Centre for Defence Strategies claimed that Russian troops in the Okhtyrka region of Sumy 'left the area of operations' in order to 'choose desertion to avoid death' and in Havronshchyna, in the Makariv district, that Russians had stolen cars to drive towards the border with Belarus.
It comes after Kyiv's generals today claimed Vladimir Putin's troops only have enough food, fuel and ammunition for another three days of fighting in Ukraine, while attacks on the besieged city of Mariupol were turned back and offensives elsewhere in the country remained stalled.
Meanwhile British intelligence said attempts by Moscow to capture the southern city of Mariupol - seen as a key target for Putin to be able to claim any semblance of success in his 'special military operation' - 'continue to be repulsed' amidst heavy fighting.

Because if there weren't brave Ukrainians, the country would have fallen three weeks ago.
What’s their rationale to lie? The DIA has had people focusing on post Cold War Russian military for30 years. The intel pre invasion was almost spot on. And if none of this is true why haven’t the Russians put this to bed yet.
Versus the nearly three months it took for America with all these super high tech weapons to initially overthrow the Taliban regime with their WW1 weapons and stone age tactics?
Plus the 20 years it took for the Taliban to eventually kick Dementia Joe's America out of Afghanistan?
Other than that, it feels unclean conversing with someone who denigrates the courage of people who are quite literally dying in defense of their country by the thousands. You are about as morally reprehensible as it gets.
We did.
And helped install Hamid Karzai as head of state.
“The Karzai administration was the government of Afghanistan under President Hamid Karzai, who became the head of state of Afghanistan in December 2001 after the Taliban government was overthrown. Karzai was appointed at the 2002 Loya Jirga as the Interim President of the Afghan Transitional Administration.”
You feel unclean?
Go take a long shower then. It will do you plenty of good.
