Ukrainian journo @aydermuzhdabaev reports that Ukrainian soldiers start to have psychological difficulties because of killing so many Russians:“We feel as if we were butchers.” They keep and keep on coming. And Ukrainian soldiers keep and keep on shooting. It’s like a conveyor.

Incredible reporting from Kiev on today’s episode of The Daily. Thank you, @stavernise and @nytimes team! Stay safe.

@NikaMelkozerova As mothers and children in Ukraine are fleeing to safety, men have been ordered to stay back and fight against Russian aggression. When asked about what was happening, this little boy choked back tears, saying, "We left dad in Kyiv."
