This is from the NYT photo team, and NYT security is the first to run out the door to help - can't thank the security guys enough for all the work they do. What's happening in Irpin is horrific and clearly direct targeting of civilians trying to flee.

WARNING: GRAPHIC IMAGES: Today I witnessed Russian troops deliberately targeting civilians fleeing for their lives from the village of Irpin. At least three members of a family of four were killed in front of me. @nytimes nytimes.com/live/2022/03/06/…

Habib Farzad attended a woman's rally on 9/8 & was immediately arrested by the Taliban & tortured while in captivity at PD3. Upon release, he recalls the soldier making a cutting gesture to the neck & said to him, “We can behead you. If you continue. We will kill you for sure.”
I don't ask for much, but would you please consider donating to Walid Fazly and his family. He was my fixer/translator in Afghanistan when I working with the LA Times. His family was lucky enough to get out of Kabul last week, but left everything behind
