The 40-mile-long Russian military convoy heading toward Kyiv was “stalled” by Ukraine’s military this week, said Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby on Friday.

Kirby told reporters that U.S. officials have obtained reports “that a bridge was blown up that we believe was in the path there,” adding, “We also have indications that the Ukrainians have struck the convoy elsewhere and on vehicles.”
