Fighting raged northwest of Kyiv on Saturday, with the bulk of Russian ground forces around 16 miles from the center of the Ukrainian capital, according to British intelligence, while sources told The Epoch Times that Ukrainian forces were battling groups of Russian saboteurs in several Kyiv suburbs.

Elements of a large Russian column north of Kyiv had dispersed, likely to regroup for a fresh offensive against Kyiv and possibly to reduce its vulnerability to Ukranian counter attacks, Britain’s Ministry of Defense said in a situational update on Saturday.
