Russian troops will arrive in Kyiv today and are now fighting just 20 miles from the outskirts, an official has said, as US intelligence warned of a plan to seize an airport, fly in troops, and 'decapitate' the government.Anton Herashchenko, an adviser to the country's interior minister, said Friday will be the war's 'hardest day' as armour pushes down from Chernihiv - to the north-east of the capital - and Ivankiv - to the north-west - in an attempt to encircle the city, where President Volodymyr is still holed up.Once the city is surrounded, US intelligence believes the plan will be for Russian special forces to move in and seize an airport - likely Sikorsky or Boryspil - which would then be used to fly in a much larger force of up to 10,000 paratroopers who would assault the capital.
