▶️Security camera captured the moment a high-rise apartment block in Kyiv is hit by a missile as fighting rages between Russian and Ukrainian forces.

👉Russian and Ukrainian forces battled for control of the city. City officials have imposed a curfew from 5 p.m. to 8 a.m.

Explosions and gunfire continued in Kyiv on Saturday as Russian and Ukrainian forces battled for control of the capital, and Russian troops closed in on two other cities on the third day of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

A defiant President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Saturday the capital Kyiv remained in Ukrainian hands, as Ukrainian officials urged the country’s citizens to help defend Kyiv against the Russian forces.

An army base in the capital was attacked but Ukraine’s military said that attack was repelled.

A high-rise apartment building in the capital was hit early Saturday by a Russian missile, according to Ukraine’s foreign minister. A rescue worker told the Associated Press that six people were injured in the missile strike. Video images of the building showed extensive damage on upper floors.

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy had predicted the attacks on Kyiv would become more intense Saturday.

“Kyiv requires special attention,” he said. “We cannot lose the capital.”

Zelenskyy said Saturday on Twitter that he had spoken with French President Emmanuel Macron. “Weapons and equipment from our partners are on the way to Ukraine. The anti-war coalition is working,” he tweeted.
