A British-made Starstreak missile is understood to have shot down a Russian attack helicopter in the weapon's first use in Ukraine
The Russian withdrawal includes near Hostomel airport near the capital, which has seen fierce fighting since the start of the invasion.
Ukrainian journalists have claimed that Russian troops have been retreating “en masse” from around Kyiv. Ukraine denied responsibility for the blast, but if Moscow's claim is confirmed, it would be the war's first known attack in which Ukrainian aircraft penetrated Russian airspace. "They are mining the whole territory. They are mining homes, mining equipment, even the bodies of people who were killed," Mr Zelensky said in his nightly video address to the nation.He urged residents to wait to resume their normal lives until they are assured that the mines have been cleared and the danger of shelling has passed.
