Fighting is in the east, west and south of Kyiv,
according to multiple reports.
“All of
this is now happening within the city limits,” reports CNN’s Clarissa Ward, but
it doesn’t appear to have reached the centre.
There are
no signs of residential areas being targeted yet, she says, “but we’re hearing
a lot of explosions from many different directions.”
Interfax
Ukraine news agency reports Russian forces have tried to attack an
electricity-generating station, while the Ukrainian military says it has
repelled an attack on a Kyiv army base, according to Reuters.
The
Ukrainian government also says it stopped a Russian advancement down Peremohy
Avenue - which runs past the Beresteiska metro station, where heavy fighting
has also been reported. The Guardian has not independently verified the
reports.
The assault
appears to line up with Zelenskiy’s warning that tonight could see Russia’s
attempt to storm the city. Three million people call Kyiv home.
Earlier
Zelensky posted a video from the streets in Kyiv. “Tonight, they will launch an
assault. All of us must understand what awaits us. We must withstand this
night,” he said. “The fate of Ukraine is being decided right now.”
