2022 Invasion of Ukraine, Day 3

Day three of the Ukrainian invasion showed some successes for Ukraine and serious blunders on behalf of the Russian forces.

Events

Okay, so apparently a Russian convoy was defeated in Western Kyiv 50.459003° 30.410094° and a SECOND IL-76 transport aircraft (potentially with over a 100 soldiers?) was confirmed as shot down by Ukraine. However, fighting in the early hours is getting into the residential districts and outskirts of the city itself, slowly moving inward from the west. Again the question is asked, with Russian troops on the ground walking towards the capital, how long can they last? 48 hours? Cluster munitions allegedly being used. At least some successes have been occurring in Kharkov, with Ukrainian soldiers showing off captured Russian patches.
