There's a growing sense of unease in the Ukrainian capital after new satellite pictures have revealed the scale of Russian military forces heading for Kyiv.

A convoy of trucks, tanks and other vehicles is 40 miles long.

British intelligence suggests the Russian advance on Kyiv has made little progress in the last 24 hours - despite increasing artillery strikes.

Kim Sengupta from the London Independent is in Kyiv and says initial optimism that Ukrainian forces were holding the capital city is now fading.

"The mood again is one of deep apprehension.

"There was a certain amount of optimism that after six days of attacks Kyiv is still standing, but of course this is just the first phase of the war, the second phase, a far deadlier one, is about to begin."
