Ukraine: hundreds of thousands try to flee Kyiv

Hundreds of thousands of people are trying to flee the capital of Ukraine – in cars, on foot and on bicycles – as queues of traffic are seen on the road leading out of Kyiv.

'It's a nation on the move, a nation trying to escape Russian aggression,' says Guardian correspondent Luke Harding. Many Ukrainians are fleeing or preparing to flee 'the grim scene' in the country after the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, began an invasion.

Could have prevented this not having Ukraine join Nato. Could have prevented this having Russia join Nato back when he first asked during Bill Clinton. A ukrainian life is equal to an iraqi life is equal to a palestinian life. All lives matter. Iraq was not about self defense. This was about self defense.
