As the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine posted on Facebook, columns of Russian troops repeatedly tried to storm the outskirts of Kyiv. However, all enemy movements were under control, and timely decisions were made by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The situation in Kyiv is under control, the Ground Forces assured.

"All attempts of the Russian-occupation forces to achieve their goal failed. Columns of the occupier's equipment were destroyed. The enemy suffered significant personnel losses," said Colonel-General Oleksandr Syrskyi, Ukraine’s Ground Forces Commander – Commander of Kyiv defense.

According to him, Russian troops are demoralized and exhausted.

Martial law was imposed in Ukraine and general mobilization was announced.
