Eight unnamed people fleeing Irpin, a town north-west of Kyiv
On Sunday, hundreds of civilians had gathered near a bridge in Irpin while attempting to flee the town. It is believed that eight people were killed during Russian shelling, the mayor of Irpin, Oleksandr Markushyn, said on Sunday.
In a statement made on Telegram, Markushyn wrote: “A family died in front of my eyes. Two small children and two adults died.”
He added: “Irpin is at war, Irpin has not surrendered. Part of Irpin was indeed captured by Russian invaders, but part of Irpin is fighting and not surrendering.”
The attack was also addressed by the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, who said in a video address on Sunday evening: “They were just trying to get out of town. To escape. The whole family. How many such families have died in Ukraine. We will not forgive. We will not forget. We will punish everyone who committed atrocities in this war.”
