feared

explosions have been heard across the
country
foreign
[Music]
when the shelling began air raid sirens
rang out across kiev

president zielenski called on ukrainian
citizens to remain calm and urged them
to stay indoors
because
while some are following orders
like those taking refuge in the school's
bomb shelter in har kiev ukraine's
second largest city
and others sheltering in a metro station
some are fleeing their homes as long
queues of cars line the road out of kiev

just a few hours after putin issued an
order to invade
zelensky responded by imposing martial
law
he issued a plea for all citizens
against the might of europe's largest
army a newly formed and inexperienced
ukrainian militia will need significant
support from its allies
the west have said that they will
respond with economic and military
support as well as sanctions
shortly after four o'clock this morning
i spoke to president zlinski of ukraine
to offer the continued support of the uk
because our worst fears have now come
true and all our warnings have proved
tragically accurate
reports of casualties are coming in
thick and fast
and with every moment spent attempting
to find a diplomatic solution
the death toll continues to rise
