Direct attacks on a massive Russian convoy outside Kyiv, coupled with a destroyed bridge in the convoy’s path, have stalled the Russian forces about 15 miles north of the city, a senior defense official said Friday. Meanwhile, Ukraine retains a “significant majority” of its air combat power, as Russia remains unable to establish air supremacy.
The convoy, stretched out more than 40 miles of road, has not appreciably advanced since the weekend, the official said.
“We certainly believe that the Ukrainians blowing up that bridge absolutely had an effective on stopping and curtailing the movement of that convoy,” the official said. “But we also believe that they have hit the convoy at other places as well in direct attacks.”
Earlier this week, the official said logistical and sustainment issues have also contributed to the slow advance of the convoy. But the US believe Russian forces in the convoy are regrouping and learning from their mistakes as they continue to try to attack the Ukrainian capital.
As the fight on the ground continues, the Ukrainian air force still has fighter jets, helicopters and drones available, though they have suffered some losses, the official said. The losses are due both to “Russian actions” and inoperability, the official added.

Invasion of Ukraine has been ‘a disaster’ for Russia so far
WASHINGTON, United States (AFP) — The Russian military’s initial invasion of Ukraine has been a surprising strategic and tactical blunder marked by food and fuel shortages, abandoned armored vehicles, aircraft losses and troop deaths, US experts say.
But the failures of the first days, including vastly underestimating the Ukrainians’ willingness to fight back, could lead to a frustrated Moscow deciding to unleash all its power and indiscriminately destroying large swaths of Ukraine, they said.
US specialists who study the Russian military say they have been astonished by the mismanagement of the campaign, which has seen invading columns stalled, apparently hundreds of Russian armored vehicles lost, and the Ukrainians preventing the Kremlin’s air force from controlling the skies.
“If you were going to screw it up two or three weeks in, I might understand it,” said Scott Boston, a senior defense analyst at the Rand Corp. think tank. “But if you, like, tripped over the doorframe on the way into the house, you have another issue.”
‘Disaster, through and through’
The Pentagon and private sector experts expected Russian President Vladimir Putin’s army to quickly destroy Ukraine’s ability to fight back, undermining its command and control of the 200,000-strong Ukraine military, wrecking its missile defenses and destroying Kyiv’s air force.
None of that has happened in the first six days. And, although there are no reliable estimates of the dead, injured and captured Russian troops, the numbers appear to be much higher than what would have been expected in a well-managed invasion.
“This is a colossal intelligence failure that vastly underestimated Ukrainian resistance, and military execution has been terrible,” Michael Vickers, former US Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, said this week at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
“His main attack has been underweighted. It’s been piecemeal. His reconnaissance elements have been captured, columns have been destroyed,” he said. “It’s just a disaster, through and through.”
Aircraft losses
An assessment by military experts of the Atlantic Council’s Scowcroft Center pointed to the crucial failure of the Russians to quickly seize and hold an airport just outside Kyiv.
The fight over the airport left it likely too damaged to use as planned to invade Kyiv, they said.
Moreover, they said, “Russian aircraft and helicopter losses have been surprisingly high and unsustainable,” because they did not destroy the Ukrainians’ air defenses.
Also surprising was the limited or ineffective deployment of electronic warfare weapons, which most analysts expected would have a significant role in attacking the Ukrainians’ ability to communicate.
“Were the Russians able to cut off Ukrainian military leaders from those they are commanding… Ukrainian air and air-defense forces would have been forced to fight in an uncoordinated fashion, making them less lethal and more susceptible to attack,” the Scowcroft Center report said.
Boston pointed out that the Ukrainians have continued to use their Turkish-made Bayraktar drones to destroy Russian armor.
“If they got hit with the Turkish drones once or twice, okay,” he said. “If they got hit more than once or twice, something’s wrong on the Russian side.”
Food shortages
Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said that the Russians appeared to not coordinate well their sizable and diverse capabilities, or manage the logistics for the invasion.
“We’re seeing indications here early on that though they have sophisticated combined arms capabilities, that they’re not being necessarily fully integrated,” he said.
Equally surprising was their logistics shortcomings.
“We’re seeing vehicles abandoned. We’re seeing sustainment problems not just in fuel but in food,” he said Wednesday.
Boston, who has taken part in high-level war games focused on the Russian force, said there are signs they much of the force is young, undertrained for this kind of conflict, and probably unaware they were even going to war.
He said it appeared, too, that the troops on the ground had no sense of what they were trying to do in invading Ukraine, with its longstanding ties to Russia.
“If you don’t know what’s going on… you can’t adapt,” he said.
None of the experts count the Russians out. The Russian force’s advance has stalled, but that could allow it to resolve its logistical problems, noted Kirby.
And to the contrary, they expect Putin’s frustration over the first days could lead to his unleashing the full force of his artillery, missiles and air power on the Ukrainian population with devastating effect.
“Russia still holds the overwhelming combat power advantages that will eventually grind down Ukrainian forces as the war continues,” said the Scowcroft Center analysis.

Russia Running Out of Oil Customers
Russia is struggling to sell oil as buyers flee the stigma, logistical challenges and fears of further sanctions that come with dealing with Moscow in the wake of the Ukraine invasion.
Even without direct sanctions on its energy industry Russia will lose around 1 million barrels per day (bpd) in oil exports, according to analyst Jarand Rystad, head of Rystad Energy, from the 10.5 million bpd it sold last year.
That is despite the scarcity of global supplies sending prices soaring.
Brent North Sea crude oil — the industry benchmark — rocketed this week to nearly $120 per barrel, while gas hit a record peak.
OPEC and other major oil exporters, including Russia, refused to increase production beyond previously-agreed levels when they met on Wednesday, dashing hopes of easing supply pressures.
The price might be working in Russia's favor, but it faces a major freeze-out from buyers.
Energy Aspects estimates that 70% of its oil exports are paralyzed as brokers and refineries shun Moscow in spite of the red-hot market.
European response
For now, Western sanctions over the Ukraine invasion have avoided Russia's energy sector, since Europe is so reliant on it.
Germany imported 55% of its gas from Russia last year, and its vows to slash this figure and boost renewables like wind and solar will take years to realize.
Pipeline deliveries continue from Russia, but facing the threat of global condemnation and potentially more sanctions to come, European importers are looking elsewhere.
Finland's energy group Neste says it has "mostly replaced" Russian crude with alternatives such as North Sea oil.
Sweden's bitumen product manufacturer Nynas says it will end purchases of Russian raw materials altogether.
Some non-Russian crudes like Kazakh oil are also being penalized since they are exported via Russia ports, which have been blacklisted by shipping companies.
China and India return?
Nonetheless, some buyers may return if the West definitively rules out sanctions on the energy industry.
"We should start to see which buyers are willing to resume purchases and which are not," said Energy Aspects analyst Livia Gallarati.
"China and India are still not buying, but we think they will slowly start to buy the crude once issues around shipping, insurance and payments are navigated," she added.
India, which also relies on Russia for military supplies, has called for a ceasefire but has stopped short of condemning the invasion.
China, Russia's largest trading partner for more than a decade, has also yet to condemn the attack.
Despite their size, however, the pair lack the capacity to make up for all of Russia's energy export losses.
Western firms have taken swift and decisive action in the past week.
Britain's BP and Shell, along with Norway's Equinor, have decided to end their Russian operations entirely.
Germany has suspended the controversial Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline from Russia.
Uncertainty over new projects
Proposed new energy infrastructure could also be hampered, such as Rosneft's flagship Vostok Oil project in Siberia.
Switzerland's oil trading giant Trafigura stated that it was "reviewing options" over its Vostok minority stake.
With Russia sidelined, European buyers are turning to oil from the crude-rich Middle East.
However the two nations with the most spare capacity — the United Arab Emirates and OPEC kingpin Saudi Arabia — are reluctant to hike output.
One uncertain factor is Iran, where last-ditch talks are underway with world powers to lift its own set of sanctions related to its nuclear programme.
Tehran has stated that it is ready to step up exports if a deal is reached, though how quickly its oil sales could impact the market has yet to be seen.
