Russia is continuing its assault on Kyiv following a full-scale invasion. Local officials say Ukrainian forces have downed enemy aircraft.
Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Malyar has warned that Russian forces are poised to enter areas just outside the capital, Kyiv, on Friday A government adviser, Anton Herashchenko, said the Russian troops planned to break through into the capital using tanks but that Ukrainian forces were ready to counter the attack with anti-tank missiles supplied by foreign allies.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had earlier said the government had information that “subversive groups” were moving on the city. This comes after a night of reported air raids in the city that were said by a DW correspondent to have set some residential buildings on fire. Many Kyiv residents have taken shelter in underground metro stations.
The Ukrainian general staff of the armed forces said Ukrainian troops were firmly resisting what he called “Russian occupiers” in the Kyiv area. Ukrainian airborne assault troops were reported in a statement to have stopped “overwhelming enemy forces” at the Teteriv River near the settlements of Dymer and Ivankiv, northwest of the capital. The statement said a bridge over the river was destroyed. “The hardest day will be today. The enemy’s plan is to break through with tank columns from the side of Ivankiv and Chernihiv to Kyiv,” Interior Ministry adviser Anton Gerashchenko said on Telegram.

NATO=No Action Talk Only
Ukrainians prove them all wrong 12th day of resistance Putin thought its a walk in the park
kiev fall in 10days. afghanistan was never captured for 20 yrs of war.
Turns out the Russian army’s seriously overrated
Nato is Corrupt and deepstate cabal!!!! Do not trust them!!!! They pull false flags all over the world and take over!!!! Wake up people of the world. Putin is fighting our enemy
2 weeks later, Kyiv is still standing. Haha
All for the views
The west is BS, specially the German….
It's been almost a month and it's still strong…
They said taliban will not take Kabul, Kabul fell in two days, they said Kiyv will fall in 24, its still fighting after the weeks. What's up with their intelligence? Inept
“Kyiv to fall in 24 hours” this aged well lol
NATO is foolish to give totally ignorant predictions about a major country and attempt to demoralize and destabilize the brave people !
Quite the opposite,
and NATO missed the opportunities to take the Ukrainians in to NATO.
Kyjev still standing!
One month later,
Don't make such despicable depressing broadcasts. Russia has failed so far, and it will not be able to invade Kyiv!
More thana month later, Ukrainians pushed the enemy out. Kyiv is just fine.
I.. Think.. The. A boinding agrement. Was.. The. Better.. Road. To. Go. Down…. N.. This. War. Wood never. Have.. Started
Well.. Why. Did. The. Ukcrain. Leader.. B 4.the..war…not.make.peace.with. Russa. Did. He. Not. Know… Or. Was. He. Told. Lies.. That. Nato. Wood. Be. Side. By. Side. With. Him
, then the ukcrain leader was wrong. To put. His. Country. N. People. At. Risk….. When. He. Knew he. Wodden. Stand. A. Chance. With. Russa
No.. Russa. Goal.. Is.. To. Keep nato.. Back.. From its. Border.
It would have been better for Kiev to surrender instead of dying slowly like a cape buffalo eaten alive by a clan of hyena. The hyena here is not Russia but US and NATO urging her towards the grave!
1 month later things look much different! Stay strong Ukraine!!!!
That aged badly
How long will we allow this evil dictator to continue murdering innocent women and children destroying cities. No more Nato needs to give Russia an
ultimatum withdraw or we will destroy Russia!! You always need to stand up to a bully! show fear and they will only bully more
And. It didn't. Russia lost numerous tanks and men.
8 hours for sure
Ukraine so far has proved you wrong but time will tell. Unfortunately millions will die before we know. Welcome to WW 3.
NATO's experience in Afghanistan against a fanatical desert based guerrilla force suggests that Russia might prove too strong an adversary.
