Ukrainian forces fire at 'Russian tanks' from Mykolaiv airport

UKRAINIAN forces have been defending Mykolaiv airport that 'came under attack from Russian tanks' according to the National Police service.

In dramatic footage, several explosions and gunshots can be seen and heard going off as the Russian invasion of Ukraine intensifies on the thirteenth day.

The Ukrainian military claims that Russian forces are "deserting in some areas" of Ukraine.

They said Russia's troops are "demoralised" after suffering heavy losses in manpower and military equipment, with some leaving their posts.
