Russian forces inch closer to Kyiv, Ukraine says fleeing citizens getting killed: Reports

| @indiablooms | 13 Mar 2022, 12:38 pm

Kyiv/IBNS: Russian forces are approaching closer to Ukraine's capital Kyiv from the north, west and northeast, reports said on Sunday.

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia was sending new forces after suffering what he said was its biggest loss in decades.

Ukraine claimed that Russian troops shot at a group of women and children evacuees leaving a village near Kyiv, killing seven, one of them a child.

On Saturday, Zelenskyy estimated that his country had lost some 1,300 troops during more than two weeks of fighting with Russia.

"Our side has lost around 1,300 military personnel," he told a news conference.

Zelenskyy had argued that his country did not want to fight and would insist on putting it on paper.

"After this war ends we do not fight anymore. This should be documented by serious countries, our neighbours… This document should include all security guarantees for our country," he told a foreign press pool.

Meanwhile, residents of Ukraine's Melitopol city have protested against the alleged abduction of the mayor by Russian forces, media reports said on Sunday.

Ukrainian officials have posted a video saying it shows Ivan Fedorov being led away blindfolded on Friday, BBC reported.

Ukraine's Melitopol Mayor Ivan Fedorov told the BBC days ago that his administration was not going to co-operate with the Russians "in any way".

The Mayor could be facing terrorism charges.

Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has held phone talks with Volodymyr Zelenskyy when they discussed ways to end the Ukraine conflict, the prime minister's office informed.

The latest satellite images showed extensive damage to civilian infrastructure and residential buildings throughout the southern city of Mariupol.
