Washington Post | Russian forces tighten grip on Kyiv gateway as residents describe growing perils
As thousands flee the besieged Kyiv suburb Irpin, allegations are emerging of Russian forces looting, hiding military equipment in residential areas, deploying snipers and cutting water and power as they seek to use the area as a potential launchpad to invade the capital.

Their accounts were likely to be closely examined by Ukrainian officials compiling details for potential war crimes claims.
