Ukraine's resistance fighters continue to hold strong against a full-scale invasion from Russia, but a member of parliament on the front lines says they still need help amid another day of bombardment.
Russian troops have been advancing slowly on the capital city of nearly 3 million people. On Monday, a military convoy consisting of hundreds of armored vehicles, tanks, artillery and support vehicles was no more than 17 miles from the city center, according to satellite imagery from the Maxar company.
"People are taking up arms, young, old, everybody is trying to give it our best," said Sviatoslav Yurash, a 26-year-old member of Ukraine's parliament. " As our nation we are defending it we will not give Mr. Putin the right to destroy it at his whim"FOX 29's Dave Kinchen has the latest coverage on Philadelphians and other local citizens showing support for Ukraine.
"I am working with different groups around Kiev. Fighting together with them and in terms of supporting because of my contacts and my skills in getting them different stuff they need," Yurash said. "We need everything from basics, food and medicine to the javelins, stingers and other weapons that can give us more of a chance against the Russian army," Yurash said. "All is welcome, all is needed"
