Surrounded by the Prime Minister and several advisers, all dressed in t-shirts and khaki jackets, the Ukrainian president filmed himself in a selfie.

" Goodnight all.

The head of government is there.

The chief of staff is there.

Prime Minister Shmyhal is there.

Councilman Pololiak is here.

The president is there.

We are all here.

Our soldiers are there.

Our citizens are there.

We are all here to defend our independence, our country, and nothing can change that.

Glory to the men and women who defend us.

Glory to Ukraine,” says Zelensky.

“Glory to the heroes”, answer his advisers.

The Russian army will "try to take" Kiev

“The Russian army will “try to seize” Kiev overnight from Friday to Saturday, following the massive offensive launched 48 hours earlier against Ukraine on the orders of Vladimir Putin, alerted the president Volodymyr Zelensky in a speech a little later.

“We cannot lose the capital.

I address our defenders, men and women from all fronts: tonight, the enemy will use all their forces to break through our defenses in the most vile, harsh and inhuman way.

Tonight, they will try to seize” Kiev, he said in a video address broadcast on the website of the presidency.

“Our main objective is to put an end to this massacre.

The enemy's losses are very serious,” he added.

According to US intelligence, Vladimir Putin intends to launch a massive offensive on Kiev to "decapitate" the government and install a pro-Russian regime instead.
