Putin of Russia unleashed a series of missile strikes that hit at least 10 cities across Ukraine, including Kyiv, in a broad aerial assault against civilians and critical infrastructure that drew international condemnation and calls for de-escalation. A Large-Scale Strike: President Vladimir V.Pyzhyk and her children were told they would be flown to the United States.

While other families were directed to hospitals across Europe, Ms. Pyzhyk, Khrystyna and her son, Sergei, 10, bid farewell to her husband, Volodymyr, and boarded a bus to Poland, where they joined several other evacuated families with ailing children. Khrystyna requires daily oral chemotherapy. Khrystyna’s condition, optic glioma, a cancer most common in young children, can cause blindness and even death without consistent therapy to shrink or stabilize the tumor. “I had truly believed we could continue our medical treatment in Ukraine,” Ms. Pyzhyk was informed that the hospital was about to run out of the medication to treat her daughter she would have to be evacuated immediately for care in another country, the doctor told her. The family lived in Lviv, the western city near Poland, far from the rockets raining down in the east.
