‘I don’t want to die': Ukrainians fear as invasion closes in

Associated Press  

KYIV, Ukraine — Yurii Zhyhanov woke before dawn to his mother’s screaming and found himself covered in dust. “That’s it, Mom’s gone.” The U.N. human rights office said it was receiving increasing reports of civilian casualties, with at least 25 deaths verified, mostly from shelling and airstrikes. “It’s unfortunate that we got here in our old age, facing a war,” said Marika Sipos, who had left her home in Koson. “It’s 50-50 on whether it is worth leaving or not,” she said. “But it wouldn’t hurt to leave for a couple days, for a weekend.” Others leaving Ukraine knew it might take much longer before they could return home.
