The United Nations (UN) General Assembly held an emergency session on Russia's invasion of Ukraine on Monday as President Vladimir Putin puts nuclear forces on high alert.

The meeting came as official talks between Russia and Ukraine in Belarus are held to secure an immediate ceasefire and the withdrawal of Russian forces.

Five days in, Russian forces have seized two small cities in southeastern Ukraine and the Zaporizhzhya area, which is home to a nuclear power plant, the Interfax news agency said Monday. Ukraine has denied the nuclear plant has fallen into Russian hands.

Russian forces are closing in on Ukraine's capital of Kyiv, but have not yet taken the city.
