Civilians ran for their lives in the city of Irpin as Russian troops targeted their escape route in another horrifying day of innocent Ukrainians being slaughtered.
Around eight people, including two children, were killed yesterday when Russian forces opened fire on residents who were trying to flee by bus, according to the city’s Mayor Oleksandr Markushin.
Three more died when Russians shelled a damaged bridge in the city they were using to escape.
But the toll of civilian victims in Irpin, which lies 16 miles north-west of the capital Kyiv, could be far higher as it has been regularly bombarded in recent days.
