Ukraine invasion - Russian shelling in Borodyanka devastates civilians

TERRIFIED Civilians describe horror of Russian shelling in Borodyanka, Ukraine that destroyed homes, businesses and supermarkets.

One man described how another local wanted to use a Molotov cocktail against a Russian tank.

Another elderly woman described how Russian strikes caused her building to shake and things to fall to the floor as she ducked for cover.

Russian forces have yet to overthrow the government in Kyiv but thousands are reported to have died or been injured and more than a million people have fled Ukraine amid the biggest attack on a European state since 1945.

Russian troops were in the centre of the southern Ukrainian port of Kherson on Thursday (March 3) after a day of conflicting claims over whether Moscow had captured a major urban centre for the first time in its eight-day invasion.
