The alarm was sounded in the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, on Monday morning, with the city’s mayor speaking of explosions in the city center just hours after Vladimir Putin “blamed” that it was Ukrainian forces who caused the explosion on the bridge in Crimea.
According to Ukraine’s emergency services, from the “several explosions” in Kyiv there is a “number of victims”. As reported by Anton Gerashenko, the adviser to the Minister of Security of Ukraine, a Russian missile fell near the Hrushevsky monument.
