As Russian troops closed in on Ukraine's capital Kyiv on Thursday, Ukraine's defence lines were holding, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in his latest video on Thursday, a week after Vladimir Putin's invasion began.

Zelenskyy said Russia's changing tactics and shelling of civilians in cities proved Ukraine was successful in resisting Moscow's initial plan of claiming a quick victory through a land assault.

"Remember, you the godless, when millions of people curse you, there would be nothing to save you," he said.

In Kyiv, workers from a local construction company prepared anti-tank obstacles known as "hedgehogs" to be placed on roads to stop wheeled vehicles.

"Ukraine will win. This situation that happened in our country has completely united our people," foreman Zakhar Povydysh said.
