New Zealand continues to pledge its support for Ukraine. 
Kyiv remains on heightened alert as Russian forces close in on all sides. 
Two large explosions lit up the night sky south of the Ukrainian capital early Sunday morning local time. 
The action appears to have been around Vasylkiv, which has a large military airfield and multiple fuel tanks. 
It comes after Ukraine's outgunned forces held the capital for the third day – as battles continue across the country. 
Deputy Prime Minister Grant Robertson told the Weekend Collective the denunciation of Russia has been worldwide, and clear. 
“President Putin hasn’t shown a great degree of interest in that, but I think what he’s meaning in terms of the NATO alliance will certainly be shown in that the global community is rallying around the Ukraine.”
