I can't verify how true this is, I just know what is being reported:

https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russian-military-convoy-north-kyiv-stretches-40-miles-maxar-2022-03-01/

WASHINGTON, Feb 28 (Reuters) - Satellite images taken on Monday show a Russian military convoy north of the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv that stretches for about 40 miles (64 km), substantially longer than the 17 miles (27 km) reported earlier in the day, a U.S. private company said.

No they did not. They reported how far it stretched, not the length, because some moved 40 miles. L. Coyote Mar 2022 #52

"How far it stretched" IS a length. This is a matter of semantics. n/t AntiFascist Mar 2022 #53
