BREAKING: Heavy fight as Russian troops invade Kharkiv (Video)

Russian forces have invaded Kharkiv after failing in their overnight efforts to seize control of the capital city of Kyiv.

Kharkiv is Ukraine’s second largest city.

This is coming as Ukraine’s president on Sunday said his country was ready for peace talks.

Some video clips shared on social media Sunday morning showed Putin’s army trucks rolling through the city of 1.41 million people, which sits in Eastern Ukraine close to the border with Russia.

Soldiers were also seen marching through Kharkiv on foot, with a very dramatic clip showing Russians slowly advancing along a road before running and firing their guns as Ukrainians opened fire on them, Daily Mail reports.

Another clip shared online shows an army vehicle said to belong to the Russians ablaze, with locals saying it had been torched by Ukrainians seeking to defend their city.
