The Queue applauds at Westminster after the National Moment of Reflection

[Jeremy Bowen @BowenBBC]

With Ukrainian troops just after they recaptured strategic area west of Kyiv. This nightmarish stretch of road is a crime scene, with evidence of killing by Russians that could amount to war crimes. Coverage all day on @bbcnews @bbcworld @bbcworldservice

This is the familiar message from Ukrainians to the world. A plea to stop Russia’s attacks from the air. #Ukraine #Lviv

"I have no tears because all my tears I left in Kyiv". Tetiana fled from #Kyiv to Lviv with her 15yr old son David - her husband asked her to keep him safe. Now a separated family, like tens of thousands in #Ukraine. @reetacbbc hears their story on #BBCNews

[Reeta Chakrabarti @reetacbbc]

‘Save our younger son’ - the words of Tetiana’s husband about their 15 year old son David. We met them both here in Lviv, as her husband and older son stayed behind to fight in Kyiv. Their story - like that of 10s of 1000s of separated families is on #bbcnewsten #ukraine

[Jeremy Bowen @BowenBBC]

Man saved himself and his cat from the Russian assault on Irpin, on the edge of #Kyiv #Ukraine

[Nick Bryant @NickBryantNY]

So much heartrending reporting coming out of Ukraine from so many different news organisations. This piece from @BowenBBC and filmed by Fred Scott is a hard but necessary watch, because it captures the horror of war #Ukraine
