People's desperate attempts to flee Kyiv overnight were captured on camera as explosions stormed residential neighbourhoods and as many as 15,000 troops — a whole Russian army division — descended on Ukraine's capital, according to media sorces.

Hundreds of civilians, some with little children, attempted to jam aboard an already packed train at Kyiv station, amid worries that the city will soon be converted into a war zone, according to the report. On Tuesday night, airstrikes shook the capital's residential districts as a 40-mile-long convoy of Russian military vehicles arrived, raising fears that President Vladimir Putin's army would soon lay siege to the city.

Another convoy was said to be heading Kyiv from the south-east, with plans to encircle the city, according to media reports. On Tuesday afternoon, outrage erupted after a massive explosion near the capital's 1,300ft TV tower, which was built on the site of a ravine where the Nazis killed as many as 1,50,000 people, including 34,000 Jews in two horrific days in 1941, during Adolf Hitler's campaign against the Soviet Union. Five persons were killed in the blasts, along with a single family walking together.

'To the world: what is the sense of saying 'never again' for 80 years if the world stays quiet when a bomb drops on the same site as Babyn Yar?' Volodymyr Zelensky tweeted after the incident. At least 5 people have been killed. History is repeating again...' Russia also shelled Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, killing at least 11 people and injuring dozens others, according to Ukrainian officials.
