It is not just the Ukrainian capital that is threatened. Elsewhere, in the country, Russian soldiers lead the offensive, they progress in particular in the west and the south of the country.

Third day of war in Ukraine, Saturday February 26. The Ukrainian army resists and willingly shows enemy losses, such as carcasses of still smoking vehicles filmed near the capital. These are Russian trucks hit in the night according to Ukrainian soldiers. 190,000 Russian troops invaded Ukraine on six fronts. The main objective is the capital Kiev, but also Kharkiv, in the east of the country and several border localities with Crimea.

According to French military sources, more than 150 missiles were fired at Ukraine. The toll of military casualties is not yet known, but nearly 200 Ukrainian civilians are believed to have lost their lives. Faced with the steamroller, gestures of symbolic resistance: 250 km from Kiev, a man clings to the turret of a Russian tank, he ends up coming down and even more surprisingly, he kneels in front of the tank.
