Russian troops approaching Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine.
Victims continue to increase, with the TV tower in Kyiv being attacked on the 1st and the state government's government buildings being hit by missiles in local cities.
The number of people evacuated abroad has already reached 670,000.
It has also been pointed out that it may be the biggest crisis of this century.
How will the Russian army move in the future?
Is there a full-scale invasion of Kyiv?
I will explain in detail.
Damage in Ukraine What is the latest situation?
The Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs has revealed that the TV tower, located in the center of the capital Kyiv, about 6 kilometers from Cheong Wa Dae, was attacked by Russian troops on the 1st.
So far, five people have been killed and five have been injured in this attack.
Russia's state-run Tass news agency reported that the Russian Ministry of Defense is calling on residents around it to evacuate, saying it will "attack the bases of information operations in Kyiv."
It seems that the aim is to block the communication network on the Ukrainian side.
In Kharkiv, Ukraine's second largest city in the northeast, at least 21 people were killed in central and residential areas, including missile attacks on state government buildings.
There are 112 injured people.
In addition, the number of victims continues to increase every day, with at least two people killed in the bombing in the northwestern city of Zhytomyr.
How far does the Russian army invade?
A senior U.S. Department of Defense official said, "Russian troops have continued to build up their forces in Ukraine, launching more than 80% of the combat forces deployed around the border and launching more than 400 missiles." doing.
Why are the troops heading south toward Kyiv staying in the same place as the day before?
A senior U.S. Department of Defense official said
that he was under intense resistance from the Ukrainian army, that he
was delayed due to lack of fuel and food, but that he was
reorganizing his troops and reassessing his operations. He points out that the operation may have been interrupted at his discretion.
Words of a Russian soldier
Under these circumstances, the remarks of Ukrainian Ambassador Kisurica at the emergency special meeting of the UN General Assembly have received a great deal of attention.
"Before making her official statement, I would like to switch to Russian first," said Ambassador Kisritsa.
What I introduced was an exchange with his mother, who allegedly was left on the smartphone of a Russian soldier who died in this military invasion.
Mother
"Aryosha, how are you?
Why don't you reply for so long?
Soldier :
"
Mom, I've left Crimea and I'm not doing any military exercises."

Mother
:“ What happened?
Soldier : Mom, I
'm
in Ukraine.
It's a real war.
I'm scared.
Bombing all cities.
Citizens are also aiming.
Ukrainians were said to welcome us, but they are trying to keep us out by standing in front of armored cars or throwing themselves in front of tanks.
We are called "fascists".
Mom, it's really hard ... "
Strengthening Russian siege
As criticism of Russia's military invasion grows, more and more countries are changing their policies and expressing their support for Ukraine.
One of them is Turkey.
President Erdogan said, "We have decided to exercise the authority given to our country to prevent the spread of the crisis," and restrict the passage of ships in the Straits of Dardanels and Bosphorus, which are controlled by Turkey under international treaties. It was revealed that measures would be taken.
In addition, the Nordic countries, which have taken the position of not providing weapons to countries in conflict, have also switched to a policy of providing military assistance.
Finland, a neighboring country of Russia that was invaded by the Soviet Union at that time in 1939, announced that it would provide Ukraine with 2500 rifles and 1500 anti-tank weapons.
Sweden has also announced that it will send 5,000 anti-tank weapons and more.
And Switzerland is a permanent neutral country.
Announced to apply EU sanctions, including freezing President Putin's assets.
"Russia's unprecedented military invasion of Europe's sovereign state was the deciding factor."
When is the second round of negotiations for a ceasefire?
The information is confusing.
Initially, Russia's state-owned Tass news agency said, "The second meeting is expected to take place on the 2nd."
The meeting place is said to be a facility on the Belarusian side along the Belarus-Poland border.
However, another Russian news agency later reported that "a senior Turkish government official close to both delegations said,'The talks are unlikely to take place on Wednesday.'"
We are telling you that the talks may be postponed for a day or two.
For the second round of talks, Ukrainian President Zelensky said, "I can't get to the negotiating table in a situation of bombardment," while "Russia is making unrealistic demands." There are also views, and it is still unclear whether the second round of negotiations will lead to a ceasefire.
How many people are evacuating?
UNHCR = United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Grundy, High Commissioner for Refugees, said at a press conference on the 1st, "The number of people evacuated from Ukraine due to the military invasion by Russia has reached 677,000. It could be the biggest crisis of the century. "
Of these, half of them have been evacuated to Poland.
In Poland, which borders Ukraine, about 410,000 people have evacuated from Ukraine as of 3:00 pm on the 1st.
When I interviewed the town of Medica on the border with Poland, many people fled to the Polish side by walking from the Ukrainian checkpoint or taking a prepared bus.
In Ukraine, men aged 18 to 60 are restricted from leaving the country, so women with children and older people are mostly evacuating when they meet the people who were waiting for them and shed tears. Was also seen.
Who have evacuated?
People who have fled Ukraine have asked us to end the war as soon as possible.
A 35-year-old woman who evacuated with her daughter over several days
"I'm glad my daughter was 7 years old so I really wanted to escape and I was able to get there safely."
"Many people are in a dangerous situation. This shouldn't happen in 2022."
A 34-year-old woman who escaped with children aged 5 and 9
"I am grateful to the volunteers who warmly welcomed me. There is no shooting here and my child can feel at ease."

A woman who broke up with her husband at a checkpoint
"My husband is 61 years old and has returned to help his country. He brought us back to Poland and back again. Anyway, I want you to end this tragedy as soon as possible. What are we? Shouldn't have done anything wrong. "
What kind of support can you provide from Japan?
The Japanese Red Cross Society accepts relief money from March 2nd to the end of May.
The ICRC = International Committee of the Red Cross said on the 1st, "I am concerned that millions of people will be in an intolerable predicament in the future. People's needs are increasing every moment and urgent action is needed to save lives. I announced a comment saying.
In addition to providing food, water, shelter, and psychological support to evacuees, it is necessary to strengthen support for medical facilities. We are calling for support from the international community.
