Russian troops on the north-west of Kyiv moved to a tactical retreat so that Ukrainian artillery could not reach them.
This was said at briefing by Oleksiy Arestovych, Adviser to the head of the Presidential Office.
According to his words, the separate Russian troops made an attempt to move forward on the northwestern outskirts of the capital the same way they did in Kharkiv, but they were met with fire resistance from Ukrainian aircraft and artillery and initiated combats with the territorial defense units and mechanized brigade.
