The conflict in Ukraine: fears in Kyiv of the advance of a prominent Russian convoy

The first day of March came with icy winds and snow; The sixth day of the Russian invasion took place with piercing anticipation. Satellite images convey the speed with which Russia is advancing towards Kyiv. The snake-shaped tank convoy, about 65 km (40 miles) long, filled with tanks and troops, slowly bent forward. The distance is only 27 kilometers.

This gave a whole new and frightening meaning to the phrase "the world is watching." Anyone can view this satellite image in black and gray, which has too much black and white sense. But only Ukrainian troops, soldiers, and civilians can stop its slow pace. Western militaries continued to send out weapons and ammunition and relentlessly harsh words. Locally, Ukraine is alone.

"We will burn the convoy," a Ukrainian journalist swore to me when I met him in the basement. This stubborn determination and passionate patriotism provoked unexpectedly strong resistance from Ukraine to the onslaught of the mighty Russian army.

He crouched down in front of his computer and smartphone. In this new underground world, everyone is connected to the upper world in dungeons, bomb shelters, and bunkers. The air raid siren now sounded like a snare.

Perched on the edge of the hard floor on a thin mat, bespectacled 13-year-old Rustam looks glued to his device, a continuation of his slender teenage figure. Today he watched a video of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on TikTok; yesterday, he watched a video of the Chechen fighters in front who have an excellent reputation. "Did you come here too?" he asked me, barely picking up the phone. He takes our time compulsive "reversal of fate" to a whole new level; It's not all bad news when you see a Russian convoy coming your way.
