Kiev was rocked by two huge explosions shortly after midnight local time on Sunday, filling the sky with an ominous orange glow, as reported Vladimir Putin is outraged by the lack of progress of his troops.
The explosions first reported by CNNstuck near the second airport of the Ukrainian capital Borispol International.
It is alleged that the glow may have been caused by an impact at a fuel depot and burst into flames, although no confirmation has been provided.
2.9 million Kiev citizens are facing a new night of terror, as it is claimed that Russia will intensify its bombings on Saturday night and will turn to trade business in an attempt to destroy Ukrainian morality.
Many fled to underground shelters in an attempt to stay safe, although other men and women took to the streets with weapons in an attempt to repel any Russian offensive.
BNO News also shared footage of heavy shelling in Kharkiv in eastern Ukraine, with the night sky illuminated by the orange glow of explosions.
An ominous orange light illuminates the skies over Ukraine in the early hours of Sunday local time, suggesting the fire was at the site of a fuel depot near one of the city’s airports.
Former Estonian Defense Minister Riho Terras shares what he claims is information about Russia’s slower-than-expected attempt to conquer Ukraine
Terras claims that the Russians expected to terrify Ukraine in order to obey – only to be met with fierce resistance
Terras also claimed that horrific attacks would be launched against civilian targets to try to panic Ukrainians, but urged them to stand firm.
Terras shared this photo, which he claims is from a Russian intelligence briefing and which says Putin’s invasion is going much worse than the Kremlin chief expected.
It is estimated that about 200 Ukrainian civilians have been killed so far. Ukraine, meanwhile, claims to have killed 3,500 Russian soldiers, including hundreds believed to have died when two transport planes were shot down on Friday night.
Those losses have infuriated Vladimir Putin, according to former Estonian defense chief Riho Terras.
Terrace wrote on Twitter: “Putin is furious, he thought the whole war would be easy and everything would be done in 1-4 days.
“The Russians are shocked by the fierce resistance they have encountered.”
The defense expert went on to say that Russia was failing because it had failed to implement a “tactical plan” and also expected the attack to “cause panic among civilians and the armed forces and force (Ukrainian President Vladimir) Zelensky to flee”.
Terras shared an image on a piece of paper said to be a defense document, declaring: “Putin is raging. He was sure it would be a cake walk.
