Day 9: More Ukrainians flee as Russia presses on

A Ukrainian father said goodbye to his daughter. Women and children boarded buses and trains. At a border crossing in Poland, people gathered to listen to an Italian pianist.

As Russian forces pressed their campaign on multiple fronts Friday and seized the biggest nuclear power plant in Europe, the number of refugees fleeing Ukraine eclipsed 1.2 million.

Days after an ambush in which several people died, a bullet-ridden bus still sat in a roadway in the capital city of Kyiv. Not far away, Ukrainian militia members buried a comrade.

In a week-old offensive, the Russian military has launched hundreds of missiles and artillery attacks on cities and other sites across the country.
