PHILADELPHIA - Ukraine's resistance fighters continue to hold strong against a full-scale invasion from Russia, but a member of parliament on the front lines says they still need help amid another day of bombardment.
Russian troops have been advancing slowly on the capital city of nearly 3 million people. On Monday, a military convoy consisting of hundreds of armored vehicles, tanks, artillery and support vehicles was no more than 17 miles (25 kilometers) from the city center, according to satellite imagery from the Maxar company.It was believed earlier Monday to be 17 miles (25 kilometers) long, but additional satellite imagery showed it stretching for 40 miles.
Maxar said the newer images cover a wider area and were less obscured by clouds. Several homes and other buildings were seen burning near roads where the convoy is traveling."People are taking up arms, young, old, everybody is trying to give it our best," said Sviatoslav Yurash, a 26-year-old member of Ukraine's parliament. " As our nation we are defending it we will not give Mr.
Putin the right to destroy it at his whim"FOX 29's Dave Kinchen has the latest coverage on Philadelphians and other local citizens showing support for Ukraine.Yurash, like many Ukraine citizens from different walks of life, decided to stay in Kyiv to defend his country's sovereignty.
