Meanwhile, the Russian forces have captured Ukraine's Kherson city.

Kherson is the first major urban centre to fall since the Russian President launched his “special military operation” against Ukraine last week.

“The (Russian) occupiers are in all parts of the city and are very dangerous,” Gennady Lakhuta, head of the regional administration, wrote on Telegram late Wednesday, as reported by AFP.

The strategic port city near the Black Sea was captured as Russian forces continued their offensive across other urban centres.

Kherson Mayor Igor Kolykhaev said that Russian soldiers were in the city and came to the city administration building.

He asked them not to shoot civilians and to allow them to gather up the bodies from the streets.

In the offensive, the Russian forces have also bombarded Ukraine's second-biggest city Kharkiv.

Ukrainian capital Kyiv has been able to withstand the assault so far.

So far, thousands are reported to have died or been injured in the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
