MOSCOW (Reuters) – Russia’s Defense Ministry said on Friday its forces had captured the strategic airfield at Hostomel on the outskirts of the Ukrainian capital Kiev and landed paratroopers in the region.
The ministry said Russian armed forces blocked access to Kiev from the west, and separatists in eastern Ukraine attacked Ukrainian army positions with Russian army support.
Ukraine said its capital and other cities in the country were hit by Russian missiles in the early hours of Friday.
