Areas once considered safe in Ukraine are now being bombarded, as the Russian army has not let up.
Global affairs analyst Michael Bociurkiw from the Atlantic Council's Eurasia Center talks about the current state of affairs in Ukraine and what to expect as Russia continues advances on the nation's capitol.Michael Bociurkiw serves as a global affairs analyst and has been in Ukraine the last two months documenting the intensification of Russian aggression during the invasion.
"I think there is a growing fear that they’re going to start aiming [missiles] to this region increasingly, so you’re going to see more people head to the border … If this continues, we could see 10 million people, almost a quarter of the Ukrainian population, leave temporarily to other safe centers," Bociurkiw said.

Bociurkiw said he supports stronger intervention from the U.S. before the situation spirals even more out of control."I think it’s better now for the West to intervene with a sort of no fly zone umbrella over Ukraine and prevent the slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent civilians than do it later on Mr. Putin’s terms after war crimes, after attempted genocide has been created," Bociurkiw said.
