Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that the Russian forces have seized Gostomel air base near the Antonov airport just nort of Kyiv.

This is so far the deepest trust of the Russian military inside Ukraine, as its aircraft and rockets pummeled Ukrainian bases. Helicopters were dispatched in the battle for Gostomel and citizens have shared video of the rocket attacks.

Zelensky also said that the Russian forces are advancing on the former Chernobyl nuclear power plant, which is now a closed off area. Zelensky said that all of Europe could be in serious danger if the remaining radioactive dust in the plant is blown up and scattered again.

Ukrainian officials informed that a recon unit of the Russian army was captured near the nuclear plant.
