The mayor of the Ukrainian capital is imposing an intensified curfew as Russian troops press on the city, and is warning that violators will be considered “enemy” saboteurs.
Mayor Vitaly Klitschko says on Telegram that to improve the defense of the capital the curfew will be extended from 5:00 pm to 8:00 am local time between Saturday and Monday.
“All civilians who are on the street during the curfew will be considered members of the enemy’s sabotage and reconnaissance groups,” he writes.
The previous curfew imposed two days ago was from 10 p.m. until 7 a.m.
