Russia Ukraine Crisis Live: As Russian forces started moving in towards the Ukrainian capital from all side, two large explosions were heard south of Kyiv in Vasylkiv early on Sunday, according to news agency Reuters. As Russia’s aggression moved to the streets of multiple Ukrainian cities, the Russian Ministry of Defence said its troops have been ordered to resume their offensive “in all directions”.
This comes after Ukraine’s outgunned forces held the capital for the third day on Saturday as the war continued across the country. A defiant Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told citizens to defend the nation as he himself refused to leave Kyiv.
Meanwhile, evacuation of Indians stranded in Ukraine, mostly students, continued as 219 people got off from the first flight that flew them home from Bucharest in Romania. Union Minister Piyush Goyal, who was at the Mumbai airport to receive those evacuated, said: “We are happy that 219 of our citizens, who are mostly students, the majority of them girls, have come back safely. The Prime Minister especially asked me to go to Mumbai to ensure that they are taken care of.”
