Ukraine war: Those who have taken shelter here include pregnant women and children. They are extremely scared of what might happen as the war drags on

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has disrupted the lives of millions of people in the east European nation. Thousands have left their homes. NDTV spoke with some families who have taken shelter at a parish in western Ukraine's Lviv. They came from Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, which was attacked by Russian forces.

Those who have taken shelter here include pregnant women and children. They are extremely scared of what might happen as the war drags on.

"We heard air raid sirens every hour. We were hiding in a bunker and heard explosions outside. We were really afraid," Tatiana, a woman at the parish in western Ukraine's Lviv, told NDTV.

"We want to stay in Lviv. We hope the war ends soon," said another woman, Nadia. Her baby cries on her lap as she is speaking. She, too, breaks down.
