After a long night of Russian air attacks, the Ukrainian military remained in control of the capital city of the country as dawn broke on Sunday.
The capital is completely controlled by the Ukrainian army and defense. Mykola Povoroznyk, the first deputy head of the Kyiv city state administration, said on an official Telegram account that there were several battles with sabotage groups at night.
Russian troops attacked an oil storage tank south of the city, causing a huge explosion and filling the air with black smoke for miles around.
Euan McDonald, the editor-at-large of The New Voice of Ukraine, said thatKyiv has not fallen.
The lion's share of the Russian troops who appeared to be closing in on Kyiv were still 20 miles away, according to U.S. officials.
A curfew is in place through Monday morning for all of the city of Kyiv.
All civilians on the street during the curfew will be considered members of the enemy.

Russian missile attacks on oil and gas facilities in northern Ukraine late Saturday caused massive explosions and fires that could easily become environmental catastrophes, according to Ukrainian officials.
Russian troops fired a missile that hit a gas line in the city of Kharkiv. The government warned residents that what they had seen was not a nuclear bomb after the blast.
The explosion is visually similar to a nuclear strike, according to an NBC translation of the message.
Residents were advised to close their windows, purify the air and wear wet masks if they smelled smoke.
Russian troops blew up a fuel tank in Vasylkiv, which prompted an advisory to residents in and near the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv.
The governor of the state where Kyiv is located said that the missile attack cut off Vasylkiv's gas supply and caused a fire so large that it could be seen in the capital. The governor said in a Telegram post that fighting between Russian and Ukrainian forces prevented first responders from extinguishing the fire.
The local government of Kharkiv said the occupiers are causing man-made disasters.
The Ukrainian military was able to hold all three of the cities Moscow had targeted, as the Russian troops encountered resistance Saturday and early Sunday.
The U.S. officials believe that Putin was not prepared for the military response from Ukraine.
They said that Putin was wrong to think that the military of Ukraine would collapse in the event of a Russian invasion. These did not happen.
