At the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Syrskyi led the defense of Kyiv.
Last year, Russia used the Belarusian territory, with Lukashenko's approval, to launch an unsuccessful offensive against Ukraine from the north, hoping to capture the capital of Kyiv.
That's where a large group of troops concentrated to stop and crush the assault forces Russia sent to capture Kyiv.
A checkpoint was installed at the entrance to Kyiv from Vyshhorod, and citizens are having their documents and vehicles checked.
Finally, at a hastily convened parliamentary session, martial law was declared.
