Russian forces are continuing their attack on Ukraine as international pressure mounts on the Kremlin.
Ten people have been killed and another 35 wounded in a rocket strike on a government building and civic square in Kharkiv.
A strike on a television building in Kiev has killed at least five people, and taken several TV stations off air.
A 65-kilometre-long Russian military convoy is now less than 30 kilometres from the capital.
Meanwhile, representatives of dozens of countries have walked out of a speech by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, to the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva.
UK correspondent Gavin Grey told Kate Hawkesby the UK Government has set aside $440 million in humanitarian aid.
“It’s now saying up to 200,000 Ukrainians could come to the UK as part of a scheme to help those fleeing the war.”
