Crying uncontrollably, a baby boy was upset, as his police officer father attempted to say goodbye to him in the Ukrainian town of Irpin, as his family fled from advancing Russian troops, March 8, 2022.

The boy is seen kicking his father’s uniform and hitting his helmet as the police officer parts from his family.

Irpin residents left the front-line Kyiv suburb that has been under heavy bombardment, running with children in strollers or cradling babies in arms, while others carried pets and plastic bags of belongings.

Two million people, mostly women and children, have fled Ukraine since the beginning of the Russian invasion on Feb. 24, the U.N. refugee agency UNHCR said.
