Russia fires two missiles in Kyiv amid a visit from the UN

Russia has fired two missiles into the Ukrainian capital Kyiv during a visit by the UN Secretary General

At least three people were injured when the missile reportedly hit the lower floor of a residential building.

The UN Secretary General says he is “shocked” by the proximity of Russian strikes near the capital.

Antonio Guterres is currently in Ukraine, where he is urging for evacuation corridors to open in the city of Mariupol.

He says the UN doing everything possible to save civilians from the “apocalypse” that has taken place in the crucial port city, which he describes as a “crisis within a crisis.”

The UN Chief visited towns near Kyiv, including Bucha, where mass graves were recently discovered.

GUTERRES AND ZELENSKY

On his trip to Ukraine, Guterres met with Ukraine’s President Zelensky, where the pair reportedly had “intense discussions” to make evacuation efforts from Mariupol a reality.

It comes just days after he met with Russia’s President Putin. It’s believed the leader agreed ‘in-principle’ for the UN and Red Cross to assist with the evacuation efforts.

The UN Chief is also urging Russia to cooperate with the International Criminal Court on the unfolding atrocities.

Standing amongst the rubble, he says there is always one thing true, when it comes to violent conflict.

Meanwhile, US President Joe Biden is asking Congress for 33 billion dollars to support Ukraine.

He’s calling for new tools to funnel assets from Russian oligarchs.
