Hours of agony for the war in Ukraine as 11 days after Russia's invasion, all eyes turn once again to Mariupol which is being ruthlessly bombed by the Russians, but also to Kiev, which is increasingly under a stranglehold by Russian forces.
According to Alexei Kuleba, the town of Borodianka, which is located a few kilometers northwest of Kiev, has been completely destroyed and occupied by the Russians.
The Ukrainian army warned today that Russian forces are seeking to seize a hydroelectric power station dam[/B] of strategic importance south of the capital, Kiev.
The General Staff clarified that Russian troops are now targeting the Kaniv dam, located some 150 kilometers south of Kiev on the Dnipro River.
So far, the Russian military has destroyed, damaged or captured several key energy infrastructure in Ukraine, including Europe's largest nuclear power plant in Zaporizhzhya.
According to the Ukrainian General Staff, Russian forces are also trying to infiltrate southwestern suburbs of the capital.
On Saturday night into Sunday, air defense sirens sounded several times in the Ukrainian capital.
Russian forces also tried to advance towards the highway near Kiev's international airport, always according to the Ukrainian military.
In Kozelets, about 70 kilometers northeast of Kiev, movements of strong forces with heavy weapons, including rocket launchers, were observed.
The ceasefire announced to allow the civilians to leave was never implemented and as of Saturday afternoon the hammering of the city, home to 100,000 Greek expatriates, began again.
Reports coming from Mariupol are alarming as the city is literally being razed to the ground by Russian forces who want to bring it under full control at all costs.
