“Now it’s the fifth day of the Russian invasion in our country,” Yemetz shared. “The first days were really tough because the second day they tried really to occupy Kyiv and they invaded, their forces inside Kyiv, so there were big battles before they invaded, soldiers with tanks.”
He says the Russian forces bombed Kyiv with rockets before and after invading.
