As Russian forces close in on Ukraine’s capital Kyiv, families have been fleeing for their lives as missiles rain down on the outskirts of the city.
In the town of Irpin, just 20 kilometres from the centre of Kyiv, Russian shelling has claimed many lives, including families and children, as they fled their homes in an attempt to escape the onslaught.
Reeta Chakrabarti in Lviv presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Jeremy Bowen, who was in Irpin as it came under Russian attack.

Don’t expect ever that the Russians abide by the laws or war and don’t believe a word Putin and his regime say period.
War is the greatest evil that can happen to a nation. It happened in Ukraine. I can't blame the Russians for that evil, but the Ukrainian government. If they had pursued a policy better for their people, this would not have happened. My country, Serbia (Yugoslavia), was bombed by usa and my country is smaller than their medium-sized city. Is that fair? Is it ethical and humane? This time, the united states pushed Ukraine into the war, only this time the Russians did not want to be silent, they did not want a rude person to beat the children around them. Russia showed its teeth this time, but unfortunately it broke in Ukraine. I feel sorry for Ukrainian people because I know what they are going through, but I love Russia because it opposed America. Да здравствует Россия. ЖИВЕЛА РУСИЈА.
This footage is what happens when NATO interferes with other countries. I will cut to the case. Ukranians and Russians essentially love each other and are of the shared culture. We are sponsoring a military nationalist coup. Our “lethal aid” provided by NATO was used to try to flatten the Donbas region having been firing at it since 2014 with NATO provided arms, and then proceed over the Russian border. Russia is carefully collecting the evidence for this and there will be some shocks coming for the western political analysts. Having tried the peaceful option for 7 years with Minsk II, continually blocked by Washington, Russia eventually had to remove NATO (weaponry proxy run by the fascist coup) by force for their own imminent security threat. From Australia and in full support of Russia. I have visited Ukraine 20 times in the last 10 years and saw with my own eyes the rise of fascism there sponsored by the US and armed by NATO, and it is abysmal how our media in Australia are framing everything as the diametric opposite of what is actually happening. The public building shelling is by nationalists attacking their own Ukrainian public, not the Russian military who are doing all they can to end this, which started in 2014 and not this year when the cameras turned on. All sponsored by Washington for economic purposes, similar to last coups elsewhere. The gear we are sending there will largely be blocked by Russia’s operations, but what reaches Ukraine will land in the hands of the fascists coup, and used for violence against the ordinary Ukranian public. We are sponsoring a coup and our US public are being atrociously mislead I’m sorry to report.
just more tears, praying constantly.
I don’t have the words to describe how scared and sad I am
May God burn Russia to the ground.
God bless Ukrania
Feeling So sad on such conditions ,from Pakistan
How long normal people will pay for liders greed… we got everything to live just in peace..
this is propaganda.. the Russians never target civilians….. well that's what the media use the say when the victims were Syrian muslims..
GLOBALO-FASCISTIC LIARS. Russia now fights the evil (UkroNazism and NATO). It WILL WIN. REMEMBER 1941-1945? Zelenskiy, Biden and all other supporters of Brown Cancer fascism will be defeated like was Hitler. There is no place on the Earth for Fascism/Nazism. Enough of torture, raping women, shelling children, burning people alive – these are the crimes of the Kiev Nazi Battalions and their criminal drug-addict president. 30 years of propagating hatred towards the roots of Ukraine – RUSSIA, which gave this strange formation every meter and status of a "country" (what a mistake). The blood of the children of the "Alley of Angels" killed by Ukronazi Kiev Regime is on the hands of every supporter of Kiev.
RUSSIA makes humanitarisn corridors, saves civilians, and targets only Ukrnazi Battalions and NATO murderers and their dots. Russia brings aids, doctors, feeds EVEN THE UKRONAZI CRIMINALS THAT SURRENDED! Ukrnazi DON'T ALLOW civilians to go down HUMANITARIAN CORRIDORS, loot, rape, shoot those wh want to leave for Russia. STOP THIS WESTERN MASS FAKERY MEDIA CAMPAIGN! YOU BLOCKED ANY TRUTHFUL INFORMATION! HAVE YOU GOT ANY HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS??
War in urban setting kills civilians. At least Bowen admits the Russians are trying to hit a nearby artillery battery.
Hello BBC and CNN, how are you doing scum?
You made all this, why are you reporting now?
To show the world how much you care, how good you are?
Cmon scum, God will judge you all!
What can you do? It was a random ordinance hitting the civilian i know it was a bad thing, i genuinely think that Russian never intended aiming their arty on civies but it was arty it will gonna be hard to predict where the shell gonna land so the sad thing is Russia never gonna stop it's momentum for Ukrainian civilian to escape so it was war after all
People still watch this bs propaganda?
Oh 🙁
How is that family killed with a shell but no blood is around? Their bodies would be mangled.
I hope Russia pays for this shit
Sad
IT DID ALL OUR PRESIDENT OF UKRAINE who didnt want to accept piece and to stop war in Donbas and not to be in Nato. These are consequences of his politic but our people in Ukraine dont understand this in west Ukriane because they live in blocked media for many years. I lost my house just because of this bad person who wants to show Putin how is he macho man and Putin can not force him to stop war in Donabas and not to join NATO.
This is sad to see what sad is that they don't show all the people men women and children that they murdered in Afghanistan and Iraq in the name of oil.
Fake
The SBU along side Fascist Ukranian insurgency murders civilians left and right….but you wouldn't dare reporting that BBC now would you?!
