In a flash, a view of Ukrainian civilians fleeing down a street in Irpin becomes only concrete dust.\n\n\nThe scene captured in a video Sunday shows a mortar shell falling in the street, killing three family members and a family friend \u2014 including two children.\n\nThis is the kind of danger looming over the people of Ukraine. Some have decided to leave their homes and loved ones behind to risk an escape. Others who must stay are helping to ready a resistance to the overwhelming Russian military power.\n\nCBC senior correspondent Susan Ormiston is in the city of Lviv in Western Ukraine, where she\u2019s been talking to Ukrainians, both those who are fleeing and those getting ready to fight. Today, she brings us to a train station, a border crossing, a bomb shelter and a barricade, and explains how Ukrainians have made these impossible choices \u2014 if they had any choice at all.
