Kyiv entering phase of defense – Klitschko

The capital of Ukraine has entered a phase of defense against Russian invaders, said mayor of Kyiv Vitali Klitschko.

"The city has entered a phase of defense. There are shots and explosions that you hear in some areas now. The Ukrainian military is destroying sabotage groups of Russians. Some sabotage groups, unfortunately, have already penetrated the capital, and the enemy wants to bring the capital and us to their knees and destroy," Klitschko said at an online briefing on Friday.
