When Russian shells hit Irpin on the outskirts of the Ukrainian capital, on Sunday two Ukrainian soldiers hid against a wall with their heads on the bare ground. Another soldier dug a trench.
In the Irpin park, among the fallen trees and debris, lay the body of a woman. Underground, many people took refuge in cellars without electricity.
In Irpen, Russian troops also opened fire on the car of American video journalist Brent Renault on Sunday, killing him and injuring a colleague.
AP photographers captured scenes of devastation in and around Irpen on Sunday, the 18th day of the war. Fragments of bombed buildings and a damaged kindergarten classroom in Kharkov. Ruins in the besieged Mariupol. Firefighters attempt to put out a blaze at a destroyed food warehouse in Kyiv.
