Destruction in Ukraine by Russian forces caught on camera: See pics

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said the bombing of Kyiv was reminiscent of Nazi Germany`s attacks during World War Two.

"To all the citizens of the Russian Federation who went out to protest, I want to say: we see you. This means you heard us. This means you are starting to believe us. Fight for us, fight against the war," he urged.

Ukrainian forces downed an enemy aircraft over Kyiv in the early hours on Friday, which then crashed into a residential building and set it on fire.

Russian troops are closing in on the seat of Ukrainian power after taking control of the strategic Chernobyl nuclear power plant, and will seize it within 96 hours, bringing a `new Iron Curtain` down on Europe, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky warned.

Vladimir Putin has used a lethal combination of attacks, including cyberattacks, missile and artillery strikes, airborne assaults and other means to try to disrupt Ukrainian commanders' ability to direct a cohesive defence.
