Froedtert West Bend Hospital issued the following announcement on March 3.

For days, residents of Kyiv had been bracing themselves for a 40-mile-long convoy of Russian tanks, armored vehicles, and towed artillery to arrive for an assault on the Ukrainian capital.

Days later, they're still waiting.

On Thursday, the U.K.'s defense ministry said the convoy appears to have stalled some 19 miles outside Kyiv and has made "little discernible progress" over the past three days, citing intelligence.

"The main body of the large Russian column advancing on Kyiv remains over 30km from the center of the city, having been delayed by staunch Ukrainian resistance, mechanical breakdown and congestion. The column has made little discernible progress in over three days," the U.K. statement said.

Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said Wednesday night that while the convoy and Russia's broader push towards Kyiv "remains stalled," there was a significant concern "that maybe the window is closing to be able to get aid into cities that may become under siege."
