Ukraine conflict: Ukraine conflict: Kyiv braces for Russian assault
The Russian assault is being fought on several fronts after it attacked from the east, north and south.
The sound of gunfire has echoed through Ukraine’s capital Kyiv as Russian tanks were filmed entering the city for the first time.
Ukraine’s Ministry of Defence called on those living in the northern outskirts, where the tanks were seen, to make fire bombs “to neutralise the enemy”.
The European Union has announced new sanctions to freeze Vladimir Putin’s personal assets in Europe.
The Kremlin, meanwhile, says that Russia is ready for talks with Ukraine.
Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said talks would have to be about Ukraine declaring a “neutral status” – which would include “demilitarisation”. Russia wants Ukraine to rule out ever joining Nato.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has repeatedly called for talks with Mr Putin, but has given no sign that he would agree to talks on the basis of “demilitarisation”.
