The sound of gunfire has echoed through Ukraine's capital Kyiv as Russian tanks were filmed entering the city for the first time.

Ukraine's Ministry of Defence called on those living in the northern outskirts, where the tanks were seen, to make fire bombs "to neutralise the enemy".

The European Union has announced new sanctions to freeze Vladimir Putin's personal assets in Europe.

Russia launched its invasion by land, air and sea. An estimated 100,000 people have fled as explosions and gunfire rocked major cities.

Ukraine says at least 137 people - civilians and soldiers have been killed. Russia has not admitted any deaths, whilst both sides claim to have inflicted heavy losses on the other.

Meanwhile, Former heavyweight boxing champion Vitali Klitschko said he would take up arms alongside his brother and fellow world beater, Wladimir Klitschko, to fight in a “bloody war” following Russia’s invasion of their home country, Ukraine.

Vitali Klitschko, who has been the mayor of Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, since 2014, said he was ready to fight.
