London: British Ministry of Defence officials on Saturday said Russian troops are now 30 kms away from the city centre of the Ukrainian capital city of Kyiv.

The third day of Russia's invasion of Ukraine is currently going on.

"Russian forces have continued their advance on Kyiv with the bulk of their forces now 30km from the city's centre," read the statement issued by the Ministry of Defence.

The Ministry also said Russia is yet to gain control over the airspace above Ukraine.

The Ministry said this has reduced the 'effectiveness' of the Russian Air Force.

"Ukrainian Armed Forces continue to put up staunch resistance across the country," the statement said.

The Ministry also said the Russian casualties figure might be heavy and greater than anticipated or acknowledged by the Kremlin.
