Russian troops have left behind crushed buildings, streets littered with destroyed cars and residents in dire need of food and other aid in a northern Ukrainian city.
The head of Ukraine’s national railway system said Russian shelling already blocked the evacuation of residents from some eastern areas by train.
Britain's Defense Ministry said that Russia was targeting the “line of control” between Ukrainian-held and rebel-held areas in the Donbas with artillery and airstrikes. Tatiana Nesterenko, who left Chernihiv for Medyka in Poland, said she spent 40 days hiding out in her basement. In an impassioned speech to the U.N. Security Council on Tuesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called for the removal of Russia as a permanent member over allegations of war crimes. “Remove Russia… so it can not block decisions about its own aggression, its own war.”
