     SHAREDBUSY DAY OF DIPLOMACY AHEAD
     
     James Landale
     
     Diplomatic correspondent
     
     Western foreign ministers will gather in Brussels for a day of intense
     diplomacy to assess their response to the war in Ukraine and consider what
     more should be done.
     
     The ministers are expected to look at fresh ways of supporting Ukraine
     while maintaining pressure on Russia.
     
     Foreign ministers - from Nato, the G7 and the European Union - will meet
     one after the other and talk about what more should be done.
     
     Nato will consider further reinforcements of the military alliance's
     eastern flank. There'll be discussions about supporting non-Nato countries
     like Georgia and Moldova.
     
     EU ministers will assess the humanitarian crisis and hear virtually from
     their Ukrainian counterpart, Dmytro Kuleba, who is expected to plead for
     more air defence capability.
     
     UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss will become the first UK minister since
     Brexit to attend an EU foreign affairs council.
     
     She said today's talks were designed to signal strong support for Ukraine
     while tightening the vice on what she called "Putin’s war machine".
     
     The aim, diplomats say, is to restate and consolidate Western unity. But as
     for engagement with Russia, they say that looks "very difficult".

     FLEEING KYIV: 'I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M A REFUGEE'
     
     Tania SheverevaCopyright: Tania Shevereva
     
     Tania Shevereva, 30, and her mother Iryna sought refuge in the mountains
     when bombing began in Kyiv.
     
     They travelled for 28 hours through Slovakia to reach Prague in the Czech
     Republic.
     
     Iryna has been with her British partner Jock Mendoza-Wilson long enough to
     qualify under the UK government's scheme for people fleeing the conflict in
     Ukraine.
     
     But Tania, who worked as an art director in Kyiv, does not think she will
     be able to join Iryna in the UK.
     
     "Of course I want to be close to my mum. She has a problem with her heart
     and she is crying all the time so I am worried about her," she says.
     
     "When you are close, you can check and you can make her comfortable. But if
     she is far away, I will worry much more."
     
     As for so many, it is still sinking in how quickly their fortunes have
     turned around.
     
     "I still can't believe that I am a refugee because I have a very good
     education. I had a very prestigious job in Kyiv. I won international
     awards," she says.
     
     "It is so hard to believe that now you are a refugee. You don't have
     clothes, you don't have anything."

     chicken and garlic dish
     
     The UK supermarket chain Sainsbury's has announced that it is renaming
     "Chicken Kiev" as "Chicken Kyiv" - reflecting Ukraine's preferred spelling
     of its capital city's name, as opposed to the Russian spelling used under
     Soviet rule.
     
     Sainsbury's has also announced that it will stop selling products that are
     100% sourced from Russia, including vodka and black sunflower seeds.
     
     It follows supermarkets Morrisons and Co-op which are also removing Russian
     vodka from their shelves.
     
     Sainsbury's says: “We stand united with the people of Ukraine."

     Ana Morari, from Leicestershire, has family in Izyum, north-eastern
     Ukraine, who have been sending her updates.

     years ago. It had one weapons factory which was closed 30 years ago.
     However, the Russians are saying this is what needs levelling down.
     
     "Now they're firing on blocks of flats, on homes, on schools. One warehouse
     has been shelled. They have nothing there.
     
     "We're looking at how we can help get supplies to them. They asked for

     HOW TO ACCESS BBC IN RUSSIA DESPITE RESTRICTIONS
     
     BBCCopyright: BBC
     
     As we reported earlier, access to the BBC's news services have been
     restricted in Russia.
     
     The BBC Press Office has now issued a statement on how to get around these
     restrictions.
     
     It says circumvention tools - such as the Psiphon app (available on
     Android, iOS, Windows, Mac) - can be used to access the BBC's website.
     
     It also says the Tor Browser has a dedicated BBC site. The Tor Browser is
     privacy-focused software used to access the dark web.
     
     With that, or similar browsers, such as the Onion Browser for iPhones, you
     can access via this URL.

     BREAKINGRUSSIA IS USING CLUSTER BOMBS IN UKRAINE - NATO
     
     Nato Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg says there is evidence Russia is
     using cluster bombs in its invasion.
     
     At a news conference, he told reporters: "We have seen the use of cluster
     bombs and we have seen reports of use of other types of weapons which would
     be in violation of international law."
     
     He also says the Western military alliance would not set up a no-fly zone
     over Ukraine - nor send its troops there - but promises other help to Kyiv
     and urged President Vladimir Putin to end the invasion immediately.

     REFUGEES' TREACHEROUS 36-HOUR JOURNEY TO REACH POLAND
     
     VITALII TATARYNOVCopyright: VITALII TATARYNOV
     
     Vitalii Tatarynov has travelled from London to Poland on a mission to
     rescue his 18-year-old sister Anna, and mother, Viktoria, who fled there
     from Ukraine.
     
     The women had just spent 36 hours on a treacherous journey from the central
     Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih.
     
     Anna and Viktoria travelled through military checkpoints and huge, snaking
     traffic jams to cross the border.
     
     Now, instead of searching for a place at university, as she had hoped, Anna
     is a refugee.
     
     "It would be great to come to the UK, because this country has many more
     possibilities to have a better life," she says.
     
     Vitalii wants to bring them back to the UK with him - but the 18 months he
     has spent living and working in London isn't long enough to qualify for the
     UK government's extended family refugee scheme.
     
     "There are requirements from the government that I need to have the settled
     status to be allowed to bring my family to the UK so I can take care of
     them," he tells the BBC over a video call.
     
     "It would be really nice if they can live next to me and I can help them on
     an everyday basis, rather than sitting and wondering if they are OK."

     KHARKIV: MY CITY IS BEING SHELLED, BUT MY MUM IN RUSSIA WON'T BELIEVE ME

     OleksandraCopyright: Oleksandra
     
     Oleksandra has been sheltering in the bathroom of her flat in the
     north-eastern city of Kharkiv with her four dogs since the shelling began.
     
     The 25-year-old has been speaking regularly to her mother, who lives in
     Moscow, Russia.
     
     But during these conversations - and even after sending videos from her
     heavily bombarded hometown - Oleksandra is unable to convince her mum about
     the danger she is in.
     
     "I didn't want to scare my parents, but I started telling them directly
     that civilians and children are dying," she says.
     
     She adds that even though her parents worry about her, "they still say it
     probably happens only by accident, that the Russian army would never target
     civilians. That it's Ukrainians who're killing their own people".
     
     Oleksandra says her mother repeats the narratives of what she hears on
     Russian state TV.

     HOW DANGEROUS WAS THE ATTACK?
     
     As we've just reported, Ukraine says "several" people were "killed and
     injured" when Russia attacked and seized control of the Zaporizhzhia
     nuclear power plant.
     
     The UN's nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, says
     that none of the safety systems at the plant were affected, and there was
     no release of radioactive material.
     
     But nuclear experts say the attack created a very risky situation.
     
     If a reactor - the device responsible for generating energy in a nuclear
     power plant - and the building housing it are damaged, the reactor could
     overheat and lead to a core meltdown.
     
     Radiation from the plant could then leak into the surrounding environment.
     If people were exposed to this radiation it could cause severe immediate
     and long term health impacts, including cancer.
     
     Yet experts say that - although the attack was dangerous - there are
     important differences between the Chernobyl and Zaporizhzhia plants.

     An administrative building at the Zaporizhzhia plant was damaged by Russian
     shellingImage caption: An administrative building at the Zaporizhzhia plant
     was damaged by Russian shelling
     
     Several people have been killed or injured in the fire that broke out from
     Russian shelling of a Ukrainian nuclear power plant, Ukraine’s foreign
     affairs ministry says.
     
     Employees are monitoring the Zaporizhzhia plant to make sure it’s operating
     safely and radiation levels are currently normal, the ministry says in a
     statement on Facebook.
     
     But if the process for cooling the nuclear fuel inside the power units is
     disturbed, there could be widescale radioactive damage.
     
     “Thousands of people – including civilians who are currently unable to
     evacuate the area near the plant due to ongoing shelling and fighting –
     would be hurt by this,” the statement says.
     
     In line with the reaction from the Ukrainian president, the ministry says a
     nuclear disaster at Zaporizhzhia could be worse than previous accidents at
     nuclear plants – such as at Chernobyl and Fukushima.
     
     “Russia has consciously undertaken an armed attack on the nuclear power
     site, an action that violated all international agreements within the IAEA
     [International Atomic Energy Agency],” the statement adds.
     
     The ministry urges the international community to help force Russian troops
     out of the area, to ensure its safety.

     Russia escalated its air campaign against Ukrainian cities on Thursday and
     through the night into Friday, killing dozens of civilians in the northern
     city of Chernihiv and continuing to lay siege to residential areas in
     Mariupol and Kharkiv.
     
     At least 47 people died in Chernihiv, according to Ukrainian emergency
     services, after aerial attacks destroyed high-rise apartments buildings,
     damaged clinics and a hospital.
     
     "We can hear the sounds right now of air strikes nearby," said Chernihiv
     resident Svitlana, 40.
     
     On Friday morning, she was hiding under her dining table with her two
     children, aged six and three, and her neighbours in a five-floor apartment
     building.
     
     Svitlana said an apartment building 500m away was destroyed on Thursday.
     
     "There are no military targets here, there is only a cemetery, residential
     buildings, clinics and a hospital," she said. "Why are they bombing us?"
     
     Svitlana's apartment building sits just 50m from a children's hospital
     which treats cancer patients.
     
     She said children from the oncology ward of the hospital had been taken to
     the shelter between the two buildings - but medical staff were not able to
     create a sterile environment there, and were struggling to find a way to
     evacuate the children.

     'REAL NUCLEAR TERRORISM' - UKRAINE'S ENERGY MINISTER
     
     BBCCopyright: BBC
     
     Ukraine’s energy minister says the nuclear power plant taken over by
     Russian troops is being run safely by the existing staff.
     
     But German Galushchenko tells the BBC that Russia's shelling of the
     Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant "is real nuclear terrorism".
     
     "They shelled directly to the station - they know what they did," he says.
     
     He is concerned that if fighting continues around the plant a missile could
     hit the nuclear storage areas or others around Ukraine and cause an
     "incredible situation".
     
     He says this is a question of global security and asks for a no-fly zone -
     designed to stop Russian warplanes - over Ukraine.
     
     "We need to close the sky to be safe," he says. "Not just for Ukraine but
     for the whole world."

     MANY VEHICLES HAVE SIGNS TAPED TO THE WINDOW - THEY JUST SAY 'CHILDREN' OR
     'PEOPLE'
     
     Sarah Rainsford
     
     BBC in Kharkiv
     
     .Copyright: .
     
     As soon as we crossed the checkpoint into Kharkiv this morning we saw the
     queue: cars and buses, standing three or four thick on the road to get out
     of town.
     
     Some drivers crossed the central reservation, trying to jump the line that
     went on for miles into the distance.
     
     Many vehicles had handwritten signs taped to the window - they just say
     "children" or "people".
     
     A yellow school bus went past us, crammed full of pensioners, children and
     women hugging plastic bags of their belongings on their laps.
     
     Every so often there was a car flying a defiant Ukrainian flag. The man in
     the car next to me had his open passport on the dashboard for rapid
     checking by the army and militia at the many road blocks along the road.
     
     We passed one small car with the "children" sign on the back and a white
     T-shirt hanging out of the window.
     
     But no one was going anywhere fast. These families had been on the road
     since first light and the end of curfew, anxious to flee the shelling of
     their city.
     
     People told us it was a little quieter last night, so it seems some of
     those who’d been too scared to leave their bunkers have now gathered their
     nerve, got in their cars and headed out.
     
     But they will spend hours in this traffic jam and they don’t know how long
     this road will be safe for. While we waited at one checkpoint, we heard a
     couple of explosions in the distance.
     
     Most people here have no real plan, nowhere to go, no way of knowing how
     long they’re even leaving for.

     PUTIN: RUSSIA WILL ADAPT TO FURTHER SANCTIONS
     
     More now from Russian President Vladimir Putin, who's been warning
     countries against imposing further sanctions on his country.
     
     He says those that refuse to co-operate will harm themselves - as well as
     harming Russia.
     
     But despite that harm, he says his country is developing "new competencies"
     and projects to "solve the tasks facing us".
     
     "We will benefit from this [the sanctions]," he claims.

     'MADNESS': WORLD LEADERS REACT TO NUCLEAR PLANT ATTACK

     Boris Johnson says Russia's shelling of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant is
     "reckless"Image caption: Boris Johnson says Russia's shelling of the
     Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant is "reckless"
     
     There's been global outcry to Russia's overnight attack on the largest
     nuclear power plant in Europe, in Zaporizhzhia in southern Ukraine.
     
     The attack caused an administrative building to catch fire, but the plant
     itself is safe - although under Russian control.
     
     "The reckless actions of President Putin could now directly threaten the
     safety of all of Europe," UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson says.
     
     "It's not just dangerous for Ukraine and the Russians, it's dangerous for
     Europe and it is playing with fire that really is beyond anything to do
     with logic or necessity," UK Defence Minister Ben Wallace adds.
     
     Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the "horrific attacks" from
     Russia "must cease immediately", while US President Joe Biden has urged
     Moscow to stop its military activities around the site.
     
     Jens Stoltenberg, the head of Nato, says the attack demonstrates the
     "recklessness of this war and the importance of ending it".
     
     A statement from Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi condemns the "heinous
     attack" as "an attack on everyone's security" and calls on the EU to
     "continue to react with unity and with the utmost determination" to support
     Ukraine.
     
     Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store has also shown "strong
     condemnation" of the shelling.
     
     "This kind of attack is madness," he says.

     UKRAINIANS WAIT 15 HOURS TO ENTER MOLDOVA
     
     Lucy Williamson
     
     BBC News, Palanca border crossing, Moldova
     
     When Odesa flinches, Palanca catches the blow.
     
     This small Moldovan crossing point, squeezed between two swathes of
     Ukrainian territory, now bears the hallmarks of a full-blown refugee
     crisis.
     
     Thirty miles (50km) from Ukraine’s third-largest city, the southern port of
     Odesa, it's also drawing people from further along the country’s southern
     coast as Russian operations there intensify.
     
     It's a long cold wait to cross this border - those without vehicles have
     reported queuing for 10-15 hours.
     
     Arrivals here used to be met by a gaggle of local volunteers offering lifts
     in their private cars.
     
     Now, buses destined for emergency shelters elbow their way inch by inch
     through the crowd. Aid tents offer a little warmth and shelter to those
     waiting for a space inside.
     
     BBCCopyright: BBC
     
     Stretching back along the road towards the Moldovan capital, Chisinau, are
     the cars of refugees who drove here from cities in southern Ukraine.
     
     The number-plates emblazoned with the Ukrainian flag, now as familiar as
     those from back home: BH for Odesa; BT for Kherson; AH for Mariupol.
     
     Refugee agencies here say that the Russian advance in the cities and towns
     of southern Ukraine has triggered this uptick in arrivals.
     
     The UNHCR says almost 170,000 people have passed through Moldova in the
     past week. Around 70,000 are staying here to see how events unfold. Those
     are big numbers for a small country of three million people.
     
     With Odesa poised for a full-blown assault, officials say arrivals here
     could surge again.

     'LIKE STUDENTS ON A CAMPING TRIP, EXCEPT THEY WERE CARRYING ASSAULT RIFLES'
     
     Jeremy Bowen
     
     Reporting from Kyiv
     
     BBCCopyright: BBC
     
     These young men have volunteered to fight for Ukraine. When we met them
     yesterday, the youngsters still had a sense of excitement, patriotism -
     even of invincibility - that young men, not much more than boys, have
     always had when they sign up for war.
     
     Some older men were there too, and they looked more apprehensive than the
     18 and 19-year-olds.
     
     The teenagers looked like students off for a camping trip, except they were
     carrying assault rifles. They said they’d only get three days' training,
     but they already knew how to fire and maintain their weapons.
     
     This morning I saw them manning road blocks on the edge of the city. Apart
     from light weapons they had Molotov cocktails.
     
     Ukraine has a professional army and the volunteers will most likely be used
     in support roles behind the front line.
     
     But if and when Kyiv is attacked that could change quickly - and the
     volunteers old and young could find themselves deeply involved in the
     fighting.

     And here's more from the UN Human Right Council's vote to condemn the
     Russian invasion and set up an inquiry (see earlier post).
     
     The overwhelming vote to investigate abuses shows Vladimir Putin "the whole
     world is against you", says Ukraine's ambassador to the UN.
     
     Yevheniia Filipenko told reporters: "The message to Putin has been clear:
     You're isolated on a global level and the whole world is against you."

     THE NUCLEAR POWER STATION THE MORNING AFTER SHELLING
     
     This photograph shows the damage after Russian shelling hit an
     administrative building of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.
     
     Mayor Dmytro Orlov of nearby Enerhodar says "continuous enemy shelling of
     [the plant's] buildings and units" seemed to cause the fire.
     
     We've got security camera footage of what happened here.

     As you have seen in our coverage, Russia continues to advance its invasion
     of Ukraine with attacks on several key cities.
     
     As Russian forces begin to get closer to the capital, Kyiv, some deadly
     aerial attacks on the city have already taken place.
     
     The apartment block below was hit by a Russian missile in the early hours
     of last Saturday.

     The small city of Irpin sits 20km (12 miles) northwest of Kyiv and has
     found itself on the frontline between Russian and Ukrainian forces over the
     past week.

     country, has been the focus of intense bombardments by the Russians.

     Chernihiv, a city 120km (75 miles) to the northeast of Kyiv, has also faced
     heavy shelling in recent days by Russian forces invading from the north.
