Ukrainians seeking refuge in a Kyiv bomb shelter fall silent as young girl sings 'Let it Go'
Kyiv is considered the prime target for the Russian invasion force, with Western observers fearing Putin wants to overthrow President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's democratically-elected government and replace it with a pro-Russian regime.
While its military is moving on multiple axes towards the capital, missile strikes have wreaked havoc on parts of the city, forcing its citizens into shelters including the metro system.Russia said on Monday it had agreed to temporarily stop fighting to allow civilians to escape some areas, though it has been accused of breaking previous agreements to halt the violence.
It was also claimed the ceasefires have been used as a chance to prepare for further attacks after the invasion force was bogged down by heavy Ukrainian resistance and logistics issues. The UK Ministry of Defence said on Monday that Moscow is now targeting communication infrastructure in a bit to cut off civilians from the news.
