Russian forces are carrying out large-scale attacks in the "heart" of Ukraine, attempting to encircle Kiev.
The US think tank Institute for the Study of War (ISW) says in a new report that over the past two days Russian forces have launched scattered attacks on Irpin and Mezhiriya, areas just outside the capital, but have not taken wider action against the city in the past 24 hours.
In Mariupol, Russia continues to attack the southern city from the east and west.
In Kharkiv, if Russian forces are short of ammunition they attempt to surround it.
As for Kherson, Russia has falsely claimed to have control of the area, but has not moved on either Zaporizhzhya or Nikolaev.
In Odessa,Russia is not yet ready to launch a naval operation against the city, as it has not deployed troops on the ground.
It should be noted, however, that in the Odessa region last night there were reports of shelling on the coast by Russian warplanes, but no attempted landings so far, according to Anton Gerasenko, an adviser to the Ukrainian Interior Ministry.
