Western allies fear the Ukrainian capital could fall today, how Bloomberg reported!
According to a Western secret service representative, Russia has achieved “complete air sovereignty” over Ukraine. The Ukrainians “no longer have an air force to protect themselves,” according to the intelligence official.
The Russian army is now targeting the capital Kiev, the secret service representative said. “Much will depend on what resistance the Ukrainians can put up. But I expect that in the coming hours the Russians will try to gather an overwhelming force around the capital.”
Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko has already ordered a curfew. According to the United Nations, 100,000 Ukrainians are fleeing Putin’s henchmen. A traffic jam formed on the border with Slovakia in the afternoon.
In the afternoon, Russian troops had taken control of the Hostomel military airport, which is only 25 kilometers from Kiev. Shortly after 5 p.m., 20 Russian helicopters began dropping paratroopers at Hostomel. The airport continues to be contested.
In their major attack on Ukraine, the Russian armed forces advanced to the greater Kiev area within a few hours on Thursday.
