Have been speaking to Ivan Verstyuk @VerstyukIvan, brilliant business reporter for @tweetsNV, who was witness to terrifying Russian attack in his home in west Kyiv today (just 11km fm city centre). This report is in line w suggestion Russ divisions moving closer to Kyiv. (1/4)

Ivan says he was working from home when it was shelled by Russian T-90 tank, at approx 12 noon. “The windows shattered around me, and books started flying from shelves.” He grabbed bag and documents, and went out to investigate. (2/4)

On the street, he says he saw what appeared to be a Syrian fighter, and Russ undercover operatives appearing from yellow busses. “They looked into my eyes and I looked into theirs. They were speaking with a Russian accent” (3/4)

Ukrainian forces (territorial defence) are trying to peg these units back as we speak, he says. It's unclear how the tanks got so close to Kyiv. (4/4)
