JAKARTA – The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, stated that he and the people of the country would not give up despite the increasing pressure of the Russian invasion. Russian troops on Sunday, March 13, drew closer to the capital Kyiv, and increasingly took control of eastern Ukraine.
“If the Russians decide to use carpet bombs and scorch this area, then they will enter Kyiv. If that was their goal, let them in but they would live here alone. We will face them and defend this land to the death", Zelensky said encouragingly, as quoted by Reuters.
The British Ministry of Defense reported that Russian troops had surrounded Kyiv from both the north and the south. After capturing Kharkiv in the north, Russian troops marched south towards Kyiv. Similarly, moving from the south, after entering Mariupol from the Crimean Peninsula, the Russian troops continued to move north towards Kyiv.
"Russian forces advancing from Crimea are trying to avoid Mykolaiv, and are continuing to head west to reach Odesa", the UK Ministry of Defense official tweeted.
Air raid sirens sounded again in Kyiv on Sunday morning 13 March, after President Zelensky made a statement that his party was not willing to give up.
Russia's incursion into Ukraine over the past two weeks has displaced 2.5 million of the country's population in neighboring countries.
