According to the Russian BBC, a high-ranking Pentagon official told about this on the basis of anonymity, informs Espresso.TV

No significant advance of Russian troops over the previous day was noticed at the Pentagon. The 64-kilometer column near Kyiv is still standing (external observers suggest that it got stuck in the swamp and most likely burned all the fuel).

A few more observations from the Pentagon:

There are no naval landings in the Odessa area yet and there are no signs that it will start any time soon.
The Russian Air Force still does not control the airspace over Ukraine. Ukrainian fighter planes and helicopters are flying, air defense is operating.
The Pentagon cannot confirm the use of cluster and thermobaric munitions by Russia.
It cannot confirm the mobilization of reservists in Russia.
It cannot confirm the fact that Russian aircraft dropped a 500-kilogram bomb on Chernobyl.
