War in Ukraine: In Kyiv, residents and foreign fighters are determined to defend the city

Description

Half the population of Kyiv has fled since the Russian invasion began, its mayor Vitali Klitschko said Thursday (March 10), as Moscow's forces press ever closer to the Ukrainian capital. "A little less than two million people have currently left. However, Kyiv has been transformed into a fortress. Every street, every building, every checkpoint has been fortified," he told Ukraine television.
