As eight Russian aircraft are shot down in one day, captured troops condemn invasion to TV cameras

Dramatic footage emerged yesterday of the final moments of the helicopter, christened the 'flying tank' by Russian air crews. At a press conference in Kyiv, captured Russian troops condemned the mission and called on their fellow citizens to rally against the conflict. Parents, block the roads, do not let your children go, do everything to make the Russian troops turn back.' President Zelensky claimed yesterday that 10,000 Russian troops had died in the war, a claim that could not be independently verified. The UK's Ministry of Defence confirmed that these cities have been encircled by Russian troops.
