A number of explosions rocked the Ukrainian capital Kyiv as Russia strikes continued against residential buildings and a metro station
At least two people have been killed in an attack on an apartment block in the city according to emergency services.
According to Western intelligence reports, the majority of Russian media advances into the country have stalled.
Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky published another video message where he claimed Russia was beginning to realise victory would not come on the battlefield.
"They have already begun to understand that they will not achieve anything by war.”
The president also addressed Russian troops directly, saying: "If you surrender to our forces, we will treat you the way people are supposed to be treated."
