The massive Russian military convoy that had been mired outside the Ukrainian capital for days appears to be repositioning potentially signaling a renewed push towards Kyiv.

Iran PressEurope: Imagery from US company Maxar Technologies released on Friday (Australian time) shows the 64-kilometer line of vehicles, tanks and artillery has broken up.

The convoy had massed outside the city early last week, but its advance appeared to have stalled amid reports of food and fuel shortages.

US officials said Ukrainian troops had also targeted the convoy with anti-tank missiles.

But there are signs the convoy is spreading out around Kyiv, with some vehicles seen sitting on roadways in residential areas in the town of Ozera, about 30 kilometers northwest of the capital.

Towed artillery and other vehicles were spotted taking cover in a copse of trees near Lubyanka, about five kilometers northwest of the Antonov Air Base.

In Berestyanka – 30 kilometers west of the airbase – fuel trucks and multiple rocket launchers are seen in a field. Other vehicles remain on the road south-east of Ivanka.

On Thursday, a senior US defense official said the Russian forces had moved about five kilometers closer to Kyiv in the previous 24 hours.
