Newsweek: Kyiv Could Fall Within Days

SECURITY

Newsweeek has reported that US intelligence officials believe that Kyiv may fall within days.


  • Newsweek: "A source close to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's government, who also asked not to be named, agreed with the U.S. assessment that Kyiv could be surrounded within 96 hours. But they did not believe Zelenskyy's government would collapse."
  • Ukrainian officials believe that defence against the Russian advance is holding better than expected but the next period will be critical.
  • A unnamed NATO diplomatic official told Newsweek: "My personal opinion: unfortunately, it does sound rather believable. However, I think now the first 24 hours are the most critical."
  • If Kyiv falls analysts believe the Ukrainian resistance could be neutralised.
