俄羅斯大軍24日入侵烏克蘭之後,三面往基輔進攻。在俄羅斯大軍壓境之下,烏克蘭多個城市遭到俄羅斯轟炸,但烏克蘭部隊也在多個地點抵抗。然而依舊抵擋不住數量龐大的俄羅斯軍隊進軍。
《紐時》的消息指出,俄羅斯部隊已經進入到基輔北部的奧伯隆區,很可能是武裝傘兵。烏克蘭政府要基輔市民躲在家中,並且準備燃燒彈對付入侵者。根據《路透》最新消息顯示,莫斯科稱已經奪取基輔的安諾托夫機場(Hostomel aerodrome),並且空降傘兵到該處。
According to the @nytimes, Russian forces failed to land along the Kyiv reservoir. On Friday morning, officials said Russian troops entered the Obolon district, a few miles north of the city. Officials told #Kyiv residents to “prepare Molotov cocktails” to deter “the occupier.” pic.twitter.com/1SBTEriLeb

儘管不確定俄羅斯有多少部隊進入基輔,基輔市內25日傳出多起爆炸,包括有城市北區發電站附近有五起爆炸。烏克蘭人還炸掉基輔北部大橋,企圖阻斷俄軍進攻。
I’m in the north of #Kyiv where Russia is continuing to bomb the neighborhoods. This is the bridge that Ukraine blew up today to prevent the advance of Russian tanks. You can see ppl fleeing the city on foot scrambling over the ruins; I watched as a man dragged over his bicycle. pic.twitter.com/QVoxht2LDs

烏克蘭軍方也加派武器與坦克進入基輔市內,準備與俄軍作戰。烏克蘭政府也傳出發放給任何願意與俄軍作戰的成年人槍枝。基輔市長Vitali Klitschko表示基輔今晚將進入防禦模式。總統澤倫斯基則表示俄羅斯軍隊將在26日全面入侵基輔。「今晚將會特別困難,但白天一定會來臨....敵人將會用所有方式破壞我們的抵抗。」

另外有報導指出,俄軍進軍基輔並沒有那麼順利。烏克蘭政府稱俄羅斯軍隊進軍至今,已經陣亡超過1000人,不過莫斯科方面沒有公布任何數字。有人分享俄軍士兵屍體倒在前往基輔的道路之上。

俄羅斯總統普京在25日的演說當中,呼籲烏克蘭軍方推翻自己政府。「我再次呼籲烏克蘭軍方人員,不要讓新納粹份子利用你的妻子、小孩和老人當作人肉盾牌」。普京多次以新納粹指稱目前烏克蘭領導人。「把權力拿到你手中,這樣我們比較好談判。」克里姆林宮發言人25日稱雙方即將在白羅斯的明斯克談判。
烏克蘭總統澤倫斯基24日曾表示俄羅斯已經派遣暗殺小隊進入基輔,自己是頭號目標。25日有傳聞他已經逃離首都,而他在25日晚間特別與顧問在基輔街上自拍影片否認該傳聞。此前他表示將留在基輔抵抗俄軍。
