Russian Kyiv convoy

Approximate location of the Russian Kyiv convoy according to The Economist.
One BM-21 Grad Russian military vehicle, similar to the type used in the Kyiv convoy

The Russian Kyiv convoy was a large column of Russian military vehicles stretching some 64 kilometres (40 mi) in Kyiv Oblast from Prybirsk to Hostomel via Ivankiv[1] involved in the Russian invasion of Ukraine. It has been noted for initially threatening Kyiv, but then halting due to unclear reasons. Commentators have suggested that the large number of soldiers and vehicles may have had issues with fuel and food shortages, and may have also been delayed by attacks from the Ukrainian military.[2][3][4]

On 2 April 2022 the whole of Kyiv Oblast, where the column was deployed, was declared free of Russian troops by the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense after Russian troops had left the area.[5] Three days before, the United States Department of Defense stated that the convoy had "never really accomplished their mission."[6] On 4 March 2022 The Economist declared that the slow pace and the seemingly disorganised military formation was representative of Russia's problems in the war in general.[7]
