The Ukrainian military remains stationed in several strategic areas of the capital Kiev in an attempt to prevent the advance of Russian troops through the territory.
More than a day after the Russian forces invade Ukraine on the orders of Vladimir Putin, international media images show armed soldiers positioned on highways, bridges and street corners while shootings and explosions continue to be the rule.
Russian authorities are also they have run into armed civilians after Ukrainian troops distributed rifles to those willing to carry them and use them against the Russians, as well as Molotov cocktails. In addition, the Ministry of Defense summoned the residents of Obolon to share information with the Ukrainian military about the movements of Russian vehicles and troops.
Additional, Ukrainian troops are using armored vehicles and snow plows to defend the capital and limit the movement of the Russians.
Images of a truck riddled with bullets and bodies strewn around it have gone viral, with Ukraine claiming they were Russian men dressed in local uniforms.
Meanwhile, the Russian military claimed responsibility for the seizure of the airport in Kiev. The presumed intention of the invaders is to use the airfield to transfer hundreds of thousands of reinforcements. Although Ukraine has not confirmed the seizure of any airport, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the battle is concentrated around the Gostomel airport.
Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians have had to take refuge in the train system while they decide whether or not they will leave the country towards some of the border demarcations such as Poland.
