Russian troops have attacked a military base in the Ukrainian capital, Kiev. At the same time, heavy shelling has begun in the capital of this Eastern European country.
Qatar-based Al Jazeera reported on Saturday (February 26th) in a report quoting Ukrainian military authorities and eyewitnesses.
Russia’s military says it has attacked a military base in the Ukrainian capital, Kiev. However, in a post on the social media platform Facebook, the Ukrainian military said that the Russian attack had been foiled.
The bomber struck shortly after noon in front of a military base on Peremohi (Victory) Avenue in the capital, Kiev, the BBC reported. However, the British media has not yet confirmed the attack.
In a separate report, Interfax Ukraine Agency reported that Russian troops had tried to seize a power plant in Kiev.
Meanwhile, quoting eyewitnesses, the news agency Reuters reported that the sound of artillery shelling was being heard all over the capital Kiev. It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post. But the sound of gunfire seems to be a bit far from the city center.
Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russian troops had surrounded the capital, Kiev, and would attack the city at any time. He also expressed strong fears that the attack could take place overnight.
In a video message to the nation late Friday night, Zelensky said, “I have to speak very openly. Tonight will be difficult, very difficult. The enemy will use all possible means to break our resistance tonight. They will attack tonight. ‘
“Russia is attacking many cities in Ukraine,” he said. It’s going to be in Kiev too. (But) we can’t lose the capital. ‘
In a video message released from the president’s office, Zelensky said, “I would call on women and men resistance fighters on all fronts. The enemies will attack tonight with all their might in a treacherous, harsh and inhumane way to thwart our resistance. ‘
Pointing to the capital, Kiev, he said, “Tonight they will try to launch a major attack.”
