Ukrainian president refuses to flee

As Russian troops are advancing into the Ukrainian capital, curfew hours has been extended. While Russia claims it to be a military attack, many civilians have been killed and injured on European ground since World War II.

While US offered an evacuation for Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy, he has denied it saying that “the fight is here”.

Ukraine’s health minister has revealed on Saturday that since the attacks started on Thursday, 198 people have been killed. It included three children. While the number of casualties is unclear for militants and civilians, it is reported that more than 1,000 people have been injured.

US and other global powers on Friday has moved forward to freeze Putin and his foreign minister’s assets as a part of imposing tougher sanctions.
