this is the nightmare for the city. acks like this, and of course, they're vulnerable to missile strikes. but kyiv is big and it's sprawling, and the defenders have many advantages, which they're using. problems for the russians include rivers, notjust the mighty dnipro running through kyiv, but its tributaries and large areas of marshland that can hold up and bog down armies. at their headquarters, the generals running kyiv�*s defence invited us to their war room, and they sounded confident, like their president. they're tracking the two main russian thrusts — from the east and from the northwest, which they said are being attacked and have barely moved. we've heard a lot about this long russian convoy that was to the northwest of the city. what's happened to that? translation: that was a week ago, the big column, _ our military hit it. they moved a bit, but they never did anything that we felt in kyiv. what do you think the russians actually want to do with the city? do they want to come into the city and conquer it or

nobody has been able to leave the city. the conditions are still di and is fighting going on around the city. this. the city is being shelled by the russian forces that have laid siege. so the overall answer is why there are some, some sparks of hope and some people have been able to escape some of the places overall. this promise has not been kept in a 16 day since the war started, the united nation says more than 2 and a half 1000000 people have fled ukraine. nearly half of them have gone to poland. you have use bigger to sugar, travels to the city of freshmen, near the border with ukraine and file this report. after escaping the war zone, they're trying finally arrives in poland. hundreds of women and children is a back to safety. at platform number 5, employee michelle station either and her 2 children have been travelling for 3 days and freezing nights. they exhausted but relief to be getting help. the house in hockey was destroyed in a russian, eric char, same, not knowledgeable. they kept bombing as so young. it didn'
