Russia-Ukraine war: Kyiv shares Day 11 'War Map' showing position of Moscow's troops

As the Russia-led invasion of Ukraine entered its 12th day, Ukraine's Centre for Strategic Communications and Information Security under the country's Ministry of Culture & Information Policy shared a map indicating regions already under the control of Russian forces. Captioned as 'Putin's War: The Daily Brief', the map shows that the Kremlin has not gained control of territories in the north, south, east of the war-ravaged eastern European country. 

Taking to Twitter, the STRATCOM Centre of Ukraine shared, "War map. Day 11. Important: Russians do not control territories in the north, east, and south, they only control roads marked in red, facing fierce opposition from local Ukrainian citizens."

Russian troops prominent in northern Ukraine: Report

As per the map shared by Ukrainian authorities, it is evident that Russian forces, on the orders of Putin, have gushed into the country's north and northeast region, in an endeavour to encircle and capture the capital city of Kyiv. The positions reflect the first eleven days of the Russia-Ukraine war wherein the Kremlin's forces have encircled many key cities across north Ukraine and are continuing to advance toward Kyiv, as per reports. 

While Russia's attempts to invade Chernihiv was not successful owing to fierce resistance from Ukrainian forces and civilians who picked up arms to combat the Kremlin's forces, it has been advancing from the area of Sumy via areas to the east of the capital city which has less resistance owing to less population.

Also, while Kyiv has not reported any incidents of explosion, killings and bombings in the last 24 hours, on Monday the STRATCOM Centre of Ukraine shared that Russian troops opened fire at civilians who were attempting to flee through the city of Irpin, located in northern Ukraine. 

Furthermore, Russian forces hit key airfields in central Ukraine and launched a fresh assault on Mariupol on Sunday. This comes as Moscow continued to invade Ukraine in defiance of new Western economic threats and fierce resistance from Ukraine’s outgunned defenders.

The United Nations Human Rights Office has confirmed that 351 civilians have been reported dead and 707 civilians have been injured since Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24.
