Irpin, Ukraine — Update

Update on the Ukraine War from Robert Stacy "The Other" McCain. Ukraine: Irpin Mayor Says Town Is ‘Liberated,’ Others Say … Eh, Maybe.

This is not the first time Mayor Markushyn has claimed this, however. He said the same thing a week ago, but his pronouncement was followed by a week of fierce fighting in Irpin. According to the New York Times, other sources say there may still be Russian troops holed up in Irpin, and the Ukrainian forces will have to do a house-by-house search to clear the town. At any rate, Irpin is the closest the Russians have come to Kyiv, and if they’ve been driven out of there, the remainder of the Russian advance force would be hunkered down in Hostomel and Bucha.
