00:00Fact-checking Trump's claim about why Russia failed to capture Kyiv.

00:07Donald Trump has claimed to know why Russian troops failed to capture Kyiv

00:12during the first days of their invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

00:17They would have been in Kyiv in four hours, going down the highway,

00:24but a Russian general made a brilliant decision to go through the farmland instead.

00:27We fact-checked Trump's claims by analysing expert accounts of what really happened

00:33during the first days of Russia's invasion in February 2022.

00:37We found that Russia's attempts to seize Kyiv were thwarted by a combination of Ukraine's military strategy

00:44and logistical and tactical errors on the Russian side.

00:48The mud in the valley of the Irpin River west of Kyiv did obstruct the movement of tanks,

00:54but alone would not have obstructed the Russian offensive.

00:57According to the Institute for the Study of War,

00:59determined and well-organized Ukrainian resistance around Kyiv

01:03played an important role in preventing the Russian military from advancing with speed and success.

01:10Meanwhile, Russian forces did use highways to reach the Ukrainian capital.

01:15According to an analysis by experts at the Modern War Institute,

01:19Russia's forces coming from the border with Belarus covered 150 kilometers of open road

01:25to reach Kyiv's outskirts during the first phase of the Battle of Kyiv in late February.

01:31The experts add that Russians used old maps,

01:34with Ukrainians also removing or painting over as many road signs as they could

01:39to deviate the Russian offensive.

01:41Russia's failure to capture Kyiv was also largely due to what happened in the air,

01:46particularly as Russia failed to gain control of the Hostomel airport 10 kilometers north of Kyiv.

01:51These expert analyses clearly contradict Trump's account of events.
