They pushed the Russians back over the Dnieper, that's one crisis averted for now, I don't know why they got that far to begin with.
To the east it looks like the Russians are encircling a town reasonably close to Kiev, they have managed to take a reasonable amount of land there but I don't think it was that well defended(thought I did see a report from that area about Javelins being used to eliminate a column of 15 tanks). They are not getting far on the Kharkiv front so far. As I see it Donbass is just a distraction so I don't care much what happens there, the Russians are going to want to put pressure on the Ukrainians to tie there forces up there but they don't need to actually take that area, they can encircle the Ukrainian forces in the area from other directions.
Hostomel airport was taken back.
The British defence ministry released a statement and part of it reads 'it is unlikely that the Russia has achieved it's planned day 1 military objectives'.
Maybe. We will see.
