Russia attacks Irfin, trying to advance in Kiev. An important bridge there has collapsed and people are fleeing in fear of attackers. They have to keep throwing on the ground to escape the shots.
IIn the Kiev region, Russian attacks caused catastrophe. On Friday, a gas station and a supermarket were located on the road between Putza and Irfin, and now only ruins are visible. The city of Irbin is located on the banks of the Irbin River, about 27 kilometers northwest of Kiev.
One and a half weeks after the occupation of Ukraine, Russian forces are increasing military pressure on neighboring major cities. According to Ukrainian sources, there were also violent attacks around Kiev.
The flow of residents with pets and children crossed the Irbin River on an upgraded track under the bridge destroyed by a Russian airstrike. The pictures coming from Irfin are painful. They show how desperate people are trying to get to safety.

In view of the dire situation, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj again called for Western support. With the aim of providing financial assistance and “continuing sanctions” against Russia, he again called on US President Joe Biden, he tweeted.
Kyiv is demanding more severe punitive action against Russia from the Western community, especially against its energy sector. The Western Federation has rejected a request by the Ukrainian government to set up a no-fly zone for NATO, citing the threat of further escalation of the conflict.
Putin on Saturday insisted that the creation of a no-fly zone over Ukraine was a red line for Moscow. Such a move “will have enormous and catastrophic consequences not only for Europe, but for the entire world,” he said in a meeting with staff of the Russian airline Aeroflot.
