Amid widespread reports that the Russian army is closing in on Ukraine’s capital of Kiev, underground shelters including the subway system are filling up with civilians hunkering down, expecting a larger scale attack on the city of some three million as Russian forces are said to now be in the suburbs and on the outskirts of the city.
“Civilians are terrified of further escalation, with many attempting to flee their homes and others taking shelter where possible,” UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Ravina Shamdasani said Friday while condemning the assault. She said “the military action by the Russian Federation clearly violates international law. It puts at risk countless lives and it must be immediately halted.”
