There are pictures of complete devastation: The troops of Kremlin tyrant Vladimir Putin (69) have destroyed several houses in the Ukrainian settlement of Borodjanka. The buildings are only 50 kilometers from the capital Kyiv.
The extent of the destruction makes it clear that the houses were probably hit by heavy artillery or a ballistic missile. The former Ukrainian ambassador to Austria, Olexander Scherba (51), wrote on Twitter: “Borodjanka near Kyiv has been practically wiped out.”
One thing is clear: the Russian soldiers are advancing ever further towards the capital. In the past few days, satellite images have shown a 64-kilometer convoy of military vehicles: tanks, howitzers, missiles, trucks.
A senior Western intelligence official told the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung: “The Russians probably believe that if they take Kyiv, the Ukrainian defenses will collapse.”
Accordingly, Russia is preparing a full-scale attack on the capital, which will reach a new level of violence and destruction. However, it is not to be expected that the troops will advance quickly into the center of Kyiv, said the secret service man. It was too dangerous for the tanks there.
Instead, he initially expects massive attacks on Ukrainian defense positions on the outskirts of the city – with bombs dropped from airplanes, rockets and heavy artillery.

Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko (50) said in a BILD interview on Wednesday: “We protect our city at all costs.” An attack “could happen at any second”. “There is no choice but to defend yourself. Ultimately, it is our home. Where the parents are buried, where the children go to school, where unfortunately civilians have been killed,” said boxing legend Wladimir Klitschko.
In the evening, BILD reporter Paul Ronzheimer from Kyiv reported explosions in the capital – near the city center. The sirens wailed several times. According to initial reports, a heating line near a train station is said to have been hit.
