Residents and journalists ran for cover from heavy shelling on Sunday in the Ukrainian city of Irpin, as Russian troops advanced towards the capital Kyiv, about 30 kilometres away.
Abandoning buildings on fire and carrying their belongings in plastic bags, people took the only escape route out of Irpin with their children and pets in an attempt to reach buses and vehicles that would take them to safety.
Ukrainian police said there was also relentless Russian shelling in the northeast Kharkiv region, reporting many casualties, while the United Nations World Health Organization said there had been several attacks on Ukrainian healthcare facilities.
