Day 3: Russia Attacks Ukraine

I’m in the north of #Kyiv where Russia is continuing to bomb the neighborhoods. This is the bridge that Ukraine blew up today to prevent the advance of Russian tanks. You can see ppl fleeing the city on foot scrambling over the ruins; I watched as a man dragged over his bicycle. pic.twitter.com/QVoxht2LDs

Ukraine’s president Zelenskyy has posted a video of himself outside his residence in the center of Kyiv this morning, after the city held out overnight.
“I’m here,” he says.
He denies false claims he has ordered troops to lay down their arms and says they will fight on. pic.twitter.com/P8mJXNPUgh

This photo brought tears to my eyes. Two young Ukrainian children sending off soldiers to fight the Russians. The kids holding hands, the girl holds a stuffed animal, the boy (her brother?) salutes. Look what he has on his back. This picture speaks a thousand words.#ukraine pic.twitter.com/EObcLZQ865

This is Sumy in north-eastern #Ukraine.I can't imagine Russians believing in propaganda saying that these are "peacekeeping forces."Look what Russian occupants have left after themselves.
