Russia said today it expects support from India at the UN Security Council when the global body takes up a crucial resolution on the Russian military operation in Ukraine.
The sanctions imposed on Moscow are not enough to curtail Russian military operations against Ukraine, the country's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said. He added that they are defending their country alone.
Ukraine's army said Friday it was fighting invading Russian forces northwest of the capital Kyiv, as Moscow pressed on with its advance on the pro-Western country for a second day. "Airborne assault troops of the Ukrainian armed forces are fighting in the areas of the settlements of Dymer and Invankiv," Kyiv's army said on its Facebook page.
Ukraine's Ministry of Defence urged civilians to resist. "We urge citizens to inform us of troop movements, to make Molotov cocktails, and neutralise the enemy," the ministry said.
Russian missiles and shelling rained down on Ukrainian cities on Thursday after President Vladimir Putin unleashed a full-scale ground invasion and air assault.
