(2/4) Fighting north-west of Kyiv continues with the bulk of Russian ground forces now around 25 kilometres from the centre of the city.
(3/4) Elements of the large Russian column north of Kyiv have dispersed. This is likely to support a Russian attempt to encircle the city.
It could also be an attempt by Russia to reduce its vulnerability to Ukrainian counter attacks, which have taken a significant toll on Russian forces.
(4/4) Beyond Kyiv, the cities of Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Sumy and Mariupol remain encircled and continue to suffer heavy Russian shelling.

Russian accusations that Ukraine intends to use chemical and biological weapons continue. We have seen no evidence to support these accusations.
Russia could possibly be planning to use chemical or biological weapons in a β€˜false-flag’ operation. Such an operation could take the form of a faked attack, a staged β€˜discovery’ of agents or munitions or fabricated evidence of alleged Ukrainian planning to use such weapons.
