The Battle of Kyiv is an ongoing military battle that began on 25 February 2022, as part of the Kyiv offensive in the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine for control of Kyiv, the capital city of Ukraine.

Battle

Initial phase of combat

Territorial Defense Forces troops in Kyiv, 25 February

On the morning of 25 February, three Russian saboteurs dressed as Ukrainian soldiers entered Obolon District. This northern district is located just ten kilometres (6 mi) from the Verkhovna Rada building.[13][14] The three saboteurs were killed by Ukrainian forces.[15][16] Later in the morning, a Ukrainian Su-27s fighter was shot down over the city, crashing into an apartment building.[17]

Throughout the day, gunfire was heard throughout several wards of the city; Ukrainian officials described the gunfire as arising from clashes with Russian forces.[18][19]

The mayor of Kyiv, Vitali Klitschko, vowed to take up arms and fight. His brother, Wladimir Klitschko, expressed the same sentiments, having joined the reservists months earlier.[20]

Russian forces had captured the Antonov Airport, located in the northwestern Kyivan suburb of Hostomel, securing a key resupply point for Russian forces near Kyiv.[21] The president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, urged the citizens of Kyiv to respond to the Russian assault with molotov cocktails.[22][23] By this point, 18,000 guns had been distributed amongst citizens, while the Ukrainian Territorial Defense Forces, which are normally kept in reserve, were activated.[24]

There was heavy gunfire in Kyiv on the night of 25 February. Ukrainian forces claimed to have killed around 60 Russian saboteurs.[25]

On the morning of 26 February, Russian artillery shelled the city for more than 30 minutes.[26] Concurrently, Ukrainian forces repelled an attack on a power plant in the northeastern neighborhood of Troieshchyna; the BBC suggested that the attack could have been an "effort to deprive the city of electricity".[27] Heavy fighting also occurred near the Kyiv Zoo in the central Shuliavka neighborhood, where Ukrainian forces defended an army base on Prospect Peremohy.[28] Residents were warned to avoid windows and balconies.[27]

According to Zelenskyy, Ukrainian forces managed to repel a Russian offensive and continued to hold the city and the surrounding areas. A curfew was extended from 17:00 to 08:00, and violators were to be considered saboteurs.[29]

According to the British Ministry of Defence, the bulk of Russian forces was 31 kilometres (19 mi) from the center of Kyiv.[30]

Ukrainian interior minister Denys Monastyrsky stated that volunteers in Kyiv had been given more than 25,000 assault rifles, about 10 million bullets, as well as rocket-propelled grenades and rocket launchers.[31]

Over the early morning of 27 February, Ukrainian forces clashed with Russian saboteurs in Kyiv. Local officials claimed that Kyiv remained fully controlled by Ukrainian forces by the morning.[32] In the evening of 27 February, the Associated Press reported that Klitschko stated that the city was surrounded.[33] However, Klitschko's spokesperson later told The Kyiv Independent that the mayor had misspoken and that reports of Kyiv being encircled were false.[34]

Later that morning, a rocket fell and exploded in the courtyard of a 16-story building located in Troieshchyna, causing 7 cars to catch fire.[35] Ukrainian officials allege that the missile was fired by a Russian strategic bomber[clarification needed] from Belarus.[36][37]

On the night of 27 February, a Russian convoy attempted to set up base at the Syrets Metro station, resulting in a deadly clash with Ukrainian soldiers. Russian troops also fired at a Ukrainian military bus, resulting in an unknown amount of casualties.[38]

Second wave

A new wave of Russian troops advanced towards the city, but little direct combat occurred, with only three missiles were fired at Kyiv that day.[39][40] Satellite images recorded by Maxar Technologies recorded a long column of Russian vehicles heading to Kyiv south along a 64-kilometre-long (40 mi) highway approaching Kyiv from the north, and was approximately 39 km (24 mi) from the center of Kyiv.[41][42][43]

On 28 February, Ukrainian soldiers killed an Israeli-Ukrainian citizen at a checkpoint, mistaking him for a Chechen member of the Russian army.[44][45]

That night Russian missiles were fired at a military base in the southeastern suburb of Brovary, causing a massive fire.[46]

Rocket strike on Kyiv TV Tower, 1 March

On the morning of 1 March, the Russian Ministry of Defense issued a warning to civilians that they intended to target Ukrainian transmission facilities around Kyiv and that all nearby residents should leave the area.[47][48] Hours later, a Russian missile struck the Kyiv TV Tower, killing five people and injuring five others.[49] The strike cut off television broadcasts in Kyiv.[50] The Babi Yar Holocaust Memorial Center confirmed that a second missile intended for the tower had accidentally hit a nearby memorial for the Babi Yar massacre.[51][52][53] A Russian airstrike also struck an occupied maternity clinic, damaging it.[54][55]

Russian shelling hit the neighborhoods of Rusanivka and Kurenivka and the suburbs of Boyarka and Vyshneve, as well as the area around Kyiv International Airport.[note 1][56][57]

In the early morning of 2 March, the Ukrainian Air Force claimed it had shot down two Russian Sukhoi Su-35 over Kyiv.[58][59]

Later in the morning, Klitschko stated that the Russian army was beginning to surround the city in an attempt to enforce a blockade.[60] Klitschko told Channel 24 that tanks were approaching towards Kyiv from Belarus and that Ukrainian authorities were inspecting Ukrainian checkpoints for preparedness.[61] Estonian Defence Forces intelligence chief Margo Grosberg estimated that the advancing Russian convoy would arrive to Kyiv's outer suburbs in at least two days, after which they would try to lay siege to the city.[62] Polish president Andrzej Duda said Zelenskyy had told him that Ukrainian forces would not withdraw from Kyiv.[63]

Debris from an intercepted Russian rocket fell on the Kyiv-Pasazhyrskyi railway station, damaging a major heating pipeline. The resulting explosion caused minor damage to the station.[64][65]

On 3 March, The New York Times estimated that over 15,000 people were hiding in the city's subway for shelter.[66] On the same day, the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence issued a statement that over the past three days the advancing Russian convoy had made "little discernable progress" going forward.[67]

4–10 March

On 4 March, a new wave of shelling struck downtown Kyiv, including the Borshchahivka neighbourhood.[68] A CNN investigation found that the strikes had hit a business center and many multi-story buildings in the western areas of the city.[69]

On 7 March, Ukrainian authorities claimed Ukrainian forces had destroyed two Russian aircraft.[70] Later, Zelenskyy denied rumors that he had fled the city, stating that he will stay in Kyiv.[71]

The following morning, Russian forces shelled the city again. Later that day, Russian and Ukrainian authorities agreed to make a temporary humanitarian corridor around Kyiv, resulting in the mass evacuation of civilians from the suburbs.[72]

On 10 March, Klitschko stated that nearly two million people, half of the population of Kyiv, had fled the city since the war began.[12]

Fires on 12 March

On 12 March, a Russian loitering munition, identified as Cube [ru], was shot down over the Podil neighborhood, causing a fire in the State Savings Bank of Ukraine building.[73][74] Another fire occurred on Synioozerna Street [uk] in the northwestern edge of the city.[75]

Next wave of shelling

Destroyed building on Bohatyrska Street, 14 March

On the morning of 14 March, a Russian shell struck a 9-story residential building on Bohatyrska Street in Obolon. The building was partially destroyed, with at least one person killed and 12 wounded.[76][77] Another Russian rocket was shot down over Kyiv, with its fragments damaging a 5-story residential building in Kurenivka, killing one person.[78] In addition, Russian forces fired 3 rockets at the Antonov Serial Production Plant, injuring seven people.[79][80]

Meanwhile, city officials stated that they were stockpiling two weeks of food for residents who had stayed behind.[81]

The Lukianivska metro station was damaged due to a blast the next morning. Later in the morning, Russian forces shelled residential areas, including the Sviatoshynski, Podilskyi and Osokorky districts, setting multiple buildings ablaze.[82][83] Four people were killed by shelling in Sviatoshynskyi.[84]

20 March

House in the Sviatoshynskyi District damaged on 20 March

At 22:46 local time a shopping centre in Podilskyi district was destroyed by a Russian missile, killing at least 8 people. The explosion also damaged nearby buildings and destroyed cars. Russian officials claimed that Ukrainian forces were using areas near the shopping centre to store munitions[85][86][87][88] and released a video purportedly showing a military vehicle driving up to the shopping centre.[89] In Sviatoshynskyi, fragments of a missile fell on a residential area. According to local officials, 6 houses and 4 schools were damaged; about 200 people were evacuated.[86]

21 March

A curfew was announced from 21:00 hours 21 March until 07:00 hours on 23 March.[90]
