AP journalists chronicle the first days of the Russian incursion into Ukraine that include harrowing footage of the fallout of Russian bombardments into civilian neighborhoods, fire departments, and hospitals. It’s incredibly challenging to watch at times. Children and infants are among the many dead and wounded. And those that have survived (to this point) are left in total despair, with no home, and no way out. It's a must-watch documentary.
