Russia-Ukraine war: Kremlin does not rule out taking 'full control' of Ukraine's major cities
Last Updated : 14 Mar 2022 07:14:11 PM IST

 

Russia does not rule out taking "full control" of Ukraine's major cities, the Kremlin has said.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said, "The Russian armed forces do not reject taking 'full control' of Ukraine's major cities to ensure maximum security for citizens.".

 
Peskov also says that, at the beginning of the war, Russian President Vladimir Putin allegedly gave the order "not to assault the cities immediately, including Kiev", Ukrayinska Pravda reported.
 
The reason for that was "the deployment of weapons by militants in the cities". It is unclear what was meant, although Russia says it is "demilitarising Ukraine", namely destroying these weapons.
 
Earlier, an artillery shell hit a nine-storey apartment building in the Obolon' district of Kiev, killing two people.
 
Ukrayinska Pravda reported the building was partially destroyed between the ground floor and the second floor, and a fire broke out on the second and third floors.
 
There were three victims, and 17 people rescued from under the rubble.
 
An airstrike on the town of Okhtyrka in the northeast of Ukraine in Sumy region on Monday has killed at least 3 civilians.
 
Pavlo Kuzmenko, Mayor of Okhtyrka said: "Okhtyrka - its residential neighbourhood, residential houses - was bombed at night. At least 3 people died, others have not been found yet. Behind me, houses are burning."
