It’s been just over a week since Russia invaded Ukraine and more than 2,000 Ukrainian people are reported to have died as well as hundreds injured.
According to the UN, more than 800,000 Ukrainian people have fled their homes since Putin declared war.
As international tensions continue to escalate, there has been talk of nuclear conflict and a 40-mile military convoy of Russian troops is approaching Kyiv.
