Thousands of Brits are among millions of Ukrainians desperately heading for the border with Poland, with one saying he, like many, “never really believed” that Russia would invade.
Roads from the Ukraine capital Kyiv and other cities have been packed with traffic since Vladimir Putin announced an invasion and shelling began in the early hours of Thursday morning.
People have sheltered where they can including in underground metro systems while many others have taken what they can and headed for the border with Poland amid fears of a humanitarian crisis.
