Ukraine crisis: Fresh curfew imposed in Kyiv

| @indiablooms | 26 Feb 2022, 05:42 pm

Kyiv: Authorities in Ukraine's capital Kyiv imposed curfew in the city from between 17:00 and 08:00 local time.

Announcing the timing of the curfew, city Mayor  Vitali Klitschko tweeted:"Warning! From today, February 26, 2022, the curfew will run from 5:00 pm to 8:00 am for more effective defense of the capital and security of its inhabitants. This curfew is introduced until the morning of February 28."

The new system will replace the old curfew timing from 22:00 to 07:00.

Meanwhile, a video footage has emerged which showed the moment a missile hit a residential block in Kyiv city.

The city has been under heavy shelling overnight, but President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Saturday morning that his forces remained in control as quoted by BBC.

A rapidly increasing number of people are fleeing the war - around 100,000 people have already crossed into Poland since the invasion began, says Poland's Border Guard agency.

“The refugee movement is growing,” BBC reported quoting spokeswoman Anna Michalska as saying.

More than 20,000 people have arrived since 0600 hrs GMT on Saturday, she said.

The government in Poland has pledged to take in anyone escaping the war in Ukraine and give temporary accommodation to those who have nowhere to go.

Poland is allowing people to cross the border on foot at all eight of its border crossing points, as queues of cars build up at borders checkpoints.
