The Russian military is facing the same logistics issues in eastern Ukraine as they did when attempting to capture Kyiv, a senior defense official said. "Just from logistics alone, they're only able to sustain several-kilometers-or-so progress on any given day."

There have been "more than 1,900 missile launches" since the beginning of the invasion, according to the official. Most of the strikes having been recorded in Mariupol and Donetsk Oblast.
