Must Read

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko on Monday announced a slight easing of the curfew in the Ukrainian capital.

In a post on his Facebook account, Klitschko said: “Friends! Important information! Curfew is changing in Kyiv and the region.

As of today, March 28, the curfew will begin an hour later and end an hour earlier. It will last from 21:00 (9:00 pm local time) to 6:00 am.

Local authorities previously announced that schooling in the capital would resume in an online format on Monday. Klitschko also canceled a plan for an extended curfew over the weekend.

Some background: Ukraine’s military intelligence head said Russian President Vladimir Putin could be looking to carve Ukraine in two – like North and South Korea. He said Russia’s operations around Kyiv had failed and it was now impossible for the Russian army to overthrow the Ukrainian government.

Strikes continue: A loud explosion followed by sirens was heard in Kyiv early Monday, according to CNN teams on the ground.
