Russian choppers can be seen hurtling over the landscape as they attacked the military base at Gostomel Airport.
Ukrainian officials said they managed to down at least three of the aircraft - but the Russians had managed to seize control of the area.
Kyiv's presidential office said there was "fierce fighting" at the airport.
In some of most dramatic footage of the invasion so far, the helicopters are seen flying low and appearing to be firing flares as they moved in.
