The battle for Kiev is getting fiercer. From Saturday afternoon, and until Monday morning, a total curfew will transform the capital into a ghost town: only the military and civilians enrolled with the general defense mobilization will be able to circulate.
“Whoever is found on the street will be treated as an enemy”the mayor warned Vitalij Klitschkoformer boxer who promised to fight and die for the country.
Meanwhile, the capital remains under siege, between alarm sirens and collapsed buildings. Like the residential building affected by a missile on the night between Friday and Saturday, which Moscow denies, but which it took as a target, assuring that it was aimed only at military infrastructure. The barrage of missiles and artillery barrages even hit a pediatric hospital killing a child, wounding two and two adults.
During today’s session, the Ukrainian president Volodomir Zelensky held talks with the President of the European Commission Ursula Von der Leyen; Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi and Indian President Ram Nath Kovind, to whom he spoke of “100,000 invaders in our territory.”
He also spoke with UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, who assured Zelensky that “he will strengthen humanitarian assistance to the Ukrainian people” and with Pope Francis, expressed “his deepest pain at the tragic events that are taking place” in Ukraine. .
The fear concerns the infiltration of enemy saboteurs, in a city immersed in the chaos of a mass exodus aboard the last trains leaving. According to the UNHCR, the refugees in neighboring countries in 3 days of war are more than 150,000, more than half of them in Poland.
help arrives
“The occupants wanted to block the center of our state and put their puppets here as in Donetsk. We have broken their plans,” insists Zelensky, who appeals to popular resistance and assures that soon “weapons will arrive from partners” also European, then after US President Joe Biden pledged another $600 million in military aid.
Help will also come from Berlin, where Olaf Scholz gave free rein to the supply of thousands of anti-tank weapons and 500 surface-to-air Stinger missiles because, explains the chancellor, this aggression marks “a momentous change” for Europe.
Belgium will send 2,000 machine guns and 3,800 tons of fuel, while new Italian ones should arrive in the next few days, even of a military nature. Similar initiatives are expected from the French president, Emmanuel Macron, according to whom “this war will last a long time”.
Tomorrow, not by chance, the EU foreign ministers will meet to assess support through the activation of the European Peace Facility: essentially funds and equipment for the defense of Kiev.
