Heavy street fighting against Russian troops is underway in Ukraine’s capital city Kyiv as officials urged locals to take immediate shelter in Ukraine.

Ukrainians have been asked to avoid going near windows or on balconies and be cautious against getting hit by debris or bullets.

Russian troops reached the Ukrainian capital and attacked a military base in the city, as well as attempting to capture an electricity generation station.

Volodymyr Zelensky said the “fate of Ukraine is being decided right now.”

As explosions ring out across the city and desperate families shelter in underground stations, president Zelensky said Russia would be using all its might “to break our resistance”.

“This night we must persevere,” he said. “This night will be hard, very hard, but morning will come.”

Meanwhile, Russia has blocked a UN resolution demanding a stop to its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Ukraine said on Friday that at least 137 people had been killed in the first 24 hours of the invasion, including civilians, while Russia has not released casualty figures on its side.
