Battle moves into Kyiv as Ukrainians fight to keep control of their capital
CNN
Explosions and bursts of gunfire could be heard on the streets of the Ukrainian capital Kyiv Saturday morning, as the country's military battled to hold back advancing Russian troops amid defiant calls for residents to resist and stand their ground.
Several bursts of gunfire were heard close to the center of Kyiv at around 5:45 a.m. local time Saturday. They appeared to come from the southeast after a lull that followed a number of blasts Friday night and early Saturday in and around the capital city, typically home to nearly 3 million.
Ukrainians have been preparing to defend their capital in recent days, with officials arming reservists and Ukrainian TV broadcasting instructions for making Molotov cocktails.
