Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelenskyy insists domestic forces are still in control of Kyiv

Ukraine president Volodimir Zelenskyy insists domestic forces are still in control of Kyiv as the Russian bombardment of the capital continues.

The sounds of huge explosions were periodically heard early Saturday in Kyiv.

Earlier Zelensky posted a self-shot video of himself on Twitter walking around the streets of Kyiv.

In it he denied he has told the army to lay down its arms, saying that Ukraine will defend itself against the Russian invasion.
