The Russian occupiers have failed to take over Kyiv, Kharkiv, Mariupol, and Mykolaiv, stooping to chaotically firing at them, said Defense Ministry spokesman Oleksandr Motuzyanyk. “Due to unsuccessful attempts to invade the cities, the enemy resorted to terrorist acts, simply, chaotically, desperately, and aimlessly shelling these cities with artillery and missiles. I want to emphasize that there is still a possibility that the enemy will try to storm the capital,” he said. However, according to the Adviser to the Head of the President’s Office, Alexei Arestovich, the Russian military will not try to capture Kyiv in the near future – they have settled on defending occupied areas.
