Photos show an apartment complex in Kyiv on fire after at least three explosions reverberated across Kyiv at dawn local time Friday.
Russia pressed its invasion of Ukraine to the outskirts of the capital Friday after unleashing airstrikes on cities and military bases and sending in troops and tanks from three sides in an attack that could rewrite the global post-Cold War security order.
Explosions sounded before dawn in Kyiv as Western leaders scheduled an emergency meeting and Ukraine's president pleaded for international help. The nature of the explosions was not immediately clear, but the blasts came amid signs that the capital and largest Ukrainian city was increasingly threatened following a day of fighting that left more than 100 Ukrainians dead.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Friday that following a conversation with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, the U.S. will sanction Putin, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and other members of the Russian national security team.
The Biden administration's earlier sanctions targeted Russian banks, oligarchs and high-tech sectors. The penalties fall in line with the White House’s insistence that it would look to hit Russia’s financial system and Putin's inner circle, while also imposing export controls that would aim to starve Russia’s industries and military of U.S. semiconductors and other high-tech products.
