Satellite imagery of a large Russian military convoy taken over the past 24 hours near Kyiv shows that it has “largely dispersed and redeployed.”
The imagery released by Maxar Technologies show that “the large Russian military convoy that was last seen northwest of Kyiv near Antonov Airport has largely dispersed and redeployed,” according to the company, citing their imagery from Thursday morning local time.
“The large Russian military convoy that was last seen northwest of Kyiv near Antonov Airport has largely dispersed and redeployed. Armored units are seen maneuvering in and through the surrounding towns close to the airport, elements of the convoy further north have repositioned and are deployed in forests/along tree lines near Lubyanka with towed artillery howitzers in firing positions nearby,” a company spokesperson said.
The military convoy was previously stalled outside of Kyiv, where U.S. officials said that it was targeted by Ukrainian troops with anti-tank missiles.
Maxar’s satellite imagery also saw damage to commercial and residential property in Kyiv and Chernihiv.
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the invasion into Ukraine on Feb. 24, stating that “our confrontation with these [Ukrainian] forces is inevitable.”
Ukrainian Minister of Foreign Affairs later said that Putin had launched a “full-scale invasion” of Ukraine.
