Resident of Kyiv Given Grim Instructions as Russians Approach
Russia’s all-out assault on the sovereign nation of Ukraine has now reached the capital, Kyiv, prompting dire warnings from those in power.
At the onset of the invasion, it appeared as though Vladimir Putin merely wanted to annex a few portions of the eastern part of the small, resource-rich nation, having arbitrarily declared those areas “breakaway states”.
Now, as Russian soldiers enter Kyiv, it has become rather apparent that the Kremlin is seeking to topple the Ukrainian government and take the entire nation back. Â This has government officials instructing ordinary citizens to prepare molotov cocktails to battle with the Russian invaders.
Ukraine has told its citizens to prepare Molotov cocktails to use against Russian soldiers as Vladimir Putin’s forces close in on Kyiv.
Russian troops were feared to be on the verge of entering the capital on Friday morning after the city was hit by “horrific rocket strikes” overnight.
And that wasn’t all…
Ukraine has urged its citizens to take up arms against enemy troops, with President Volodymyr Velenskyy telling his people that anyone who wanted them would be supplied with weapons.

Ukraine’s President has pleaded with the western world for help fending off the Russian aggression, but fears of igniting a broader, possibly-nuclear conflict have kept many nations at an arm’s length.
