About a dozen, some just a few hours old, being cared for in the neonatal unit were bravely taken into the basement storage by nurses to be cuddled.

Dr Denis Surkov, 51, head of neonatology at Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Children’s Hospital, said: “This is a neonatal intensive care unit. In a bomb shelter. Can you imagine? This is our reality. ‘

Dnipro was among more than a dozen cities and towns under shelling as Russian forces also tightened their siege capital Kyiv besieged.

Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba accused the Russian military of “war crimes” as reports emerged of attacks on kindergartens and orphanages.

And on the roads west towards the Polish border, the terrible human cost of Putin’s war of chaos was exposed as families tried to escape the fighting.

At least 100,000 Ukrainians have fled the country – up to five million more are expected to head to bordering Eastern European countries, including Hungary, Slovakia and Romania.

But President Volodymyr Zelenskyy ordered on Thursday that all males between the ages of 18 and 60 must enlist in the army.

And one witness said he watched in horror as Ukrainian troops pulled fathers and sons out of cars in front of their terrified families.

The Sun participates Thousands of people fled as intense fighting took place five miles north in the Kyiv suburb of Obolon, where at least one Russian soldier is reported to have killed civilian defenders.

The artillery and rockets in the distance grew more and more intense as we watched a tearful mother lift her thumb while clutching her young son’s hand and clutching a suitcase.

It took our group more than three hours to travel the five miles surrounded by desperate locals in cars crammed with bewildered children, pets and belongings.

As the Russian attacks grew larger, a green Ukrainian army truck appeared to collide and rattle along its stiff shoulder as it roared away from the front lines.

Its front windshield and tires were blown out, leaving the bare metal of the wheels screeching on the road.

But along the main highway to the west on the outskirts of Kyiv, we saw signs of brave defenders preparing to confront the might of Putin’s invading forces.

They are predicted to be hopelessly annihilated in the coming hours as the Russian tyrant’s elite Spetsnaz army spearheads a last-ditch effort to decapitate Ukraine’s democracy.

However, they were clearly standing and ready to fight with rifles and grenade launchers from behind makeshift sandbag fortifications.

A formation of four armored personnel carriers flying the yellow and blue flags of Ukraine, with heavily armed troops on board, rushed to defend Kyiv’s western flank. Refugees honking car horns to say hello.

Six miles west of the conflict-torn city center, hundreds of teenagers walked toward the fighting in civilian clothes, carrying backpacks and sleeping bags.

CALL TO ARMS

The young men – many babysitters as young as 16 – appear to be recruits answering their country’s call to arm.

As dawn broke yesterday, gunfire rang out in the government quarter in central Kyiv amid fears of a mission of sabotage and assassination by Russian spies.

Kyiv’s center and its iconic Independence Square have been eerily deserted for poles of Ukrainian military vans.

Uniformed troops were joined by locals in jeans and trainers when President Zelenskyy’s call to arm was heeded.

The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine called on the people to make “Molotov cocktail” petrol bombs to protect the capital in the last desperation.

More than 10,000 rifles were given to the people, while many more defended their homes and families with shotguns and shotguns.

Ukrainian sources said they expected the capital to be besieged within the next four days – but they vowed to continue fighting.

But analysts believe it could be hours before Putin’s overwhelming firepower crushes resistance in the capital in a bloodbath not seen in Europe since World War Two.

Farther west, as the sun sets on another day of carnage, we see a squadron of Ukrainian T-72 tanks camouflaged under camouflage nets, preparing to repel an impossible attack. avoid.

Meanwhile, as many as a million feared refugees are desperately fleeing the subjugated country – but officials warn that number could be as high as 5 million.

“Women and children are heading to the safe zone while the men stay behind fighting to protect their homes,” said a witness to the exodus on the Polish border.

But another person on the Hungarian border said: “Nobody wants to join the army. No one wants to die.”

US tourist Manny Marotta, 25, who walked more than 43 miles to the Polish border, said: “Basically there are sentry units pulling every man between the ages of 18 and 60 from his family. me.

“The boys were taken from their mothers as they tried to get to safety. It’s annoying to see. Meanwhile, a Ukrainian journalist for the BBC had to watch footage of her family home being bombed while she was on air.

Olga Malchevska was on BBC World News when pictures of the blue apartments were shown on the screen. She said: ‘That footage is literally my home. Everyone there was evacuated to the school.”
