Live: Soldiers patrol the streets in Kyiv after attack near train station - The Independent




Watch a live view of Ukraine’s capital city Kyiv as the attacks from Russia continue.
It’s now been an entire week since Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin, announced a “military operation” would begin on Ukraine.

The country has been under attack with missiles and shells hitting various cities, with hundreds losing their lives as a result.

Over 600,000 people who were living in Ukraine have since fled to neighbouring countries, seeking asylum.

Poland has stated that over 200,000 people from Ukraine have been welcomed into the country so far.

Just over 1 million people have fled Ukraine since the Russian invasion began, according to data from the U.N. refugee agency, a massive exodus that is set to become Europe’s worst humanitarian crisis this century. That figure is already on par with the number of refugees who were displaced from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan in 2015. Read more:
