CHILLING images show a smouldering Russian convoy of tanks blitzed to ashes by the heroic Ukrainian resistance on the outskirts of Kyiv. The biggest war in Europe since World War 2 has now been raging for seven days - but Vladimir Putin's advance towards the capital Kyiv appears to have stalled as brave Ukrainians fight back. US defence officials said morale is flagging in some Russian units - and some of Putin's forces have surrendered in Ukraine without a fight. The Ukraine Air Force said two Ukrainian MIG-29 fighters took out two Russian jets in a battle in the skies in the Kyiv region. Flames continued to pour from buildings in the aftermath of the missile strike on the city 75 miles west of the capital Kyiv.
