Stopping taking the whole country.”

Pressed on what the concession was, Trump replied

There was the air raid siren, we did not even have time to dress to go out of the apartment. One blast came after the other, all windows were blown out, doors, walls, my husband and son were thrown to the other side,

Kyiv resident Viktoria Bakal said

Rescuers have retrieved two more bodies from under the rubble in the Sviatoshynskyi district. We now have 12 dead."

I am not happy with the Russian strikes on KYIV. Not necessary, and very bad timing. Vladimir, STOP! 5000 soldiers a week are dying. Lets get the Peace Deal DONE!"

Mobile telephones are heard ringing beneath rubble. The search will continue until it becomes clear that they have got everyone,
