At Ukraine’s largest children’s hospital, this 5 yr old boy is one of dozens of youngsters who can’t evacuate Kyiv- or this facility. His kidneys don’t function without 6 treatments a day… so he’ll remain in hospital despite nearby shelling and rocket attacks.

Our team with a little legend. 16 yr old Anton drove alone for 3 days to escape Kherson- past Russian soldiers and through countless checkpoints. His mum woke him at 4am when the bombing started and told him to get out. He’s now sheltering in a Lviv orphanage.

After 16 years in TV news, my time at Nine is up. I’m leaving grateful for the invaluable friendships and moments in history I’ve been able to witness.
Endless gratitude for our hotel staff who, instead of fleeing Kyiv, stayed to serve people food and drink & supply mattresses for the bomb shelter. Staying put at their own personal risk. Rave TripAdvisor review coming up.

Hearing reports Kyiv is about to be hit with heavy bombardment. After hours of eerie silence, we’re starting to hear new blasts now. Life in Kyiv has moved underground- with 1000’s sheltering in bunkers.
