Australians flee cities in Ukraine for safety as Kharkiv comes under Russian bombardment

ABC  

Australian Hugh Simpson is one of an estimated 350,000 people to enter Poland from Ukraine in the past few days. His main concern now is for the safety of the staff at his IT company — one was making molotov cocktails, while another had joined Ukraine's "IT army" for cyber attacks. A missile attack on the city's administration building hit so close to his home that "my windows almost came out," Mr Rizwan said. India's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said an Indian student lost his life in Kharkiv — someone Mr Rizwan knew, describing the incident as a "terrible loss". "The mothers, when they enter, they realise they've left the baby — like 10 or 20 metres, not really far — and they started crying, and everyone is crying," he said.
