Around Ukraine on Saturday, residents sought shelter from fighting, looked out onto the aftermath of battles or fled in search of safer ground. Smoke rose over the capital, Kyiv, after a night of heavy Russian bombardment. Some of the last remaining civilians in two nearby towns, Irpin and Bucha, fled toward the city.

In the west, men mourned their fellow soldiers during a funeral in the town of Lutsk. In Odessa, in Ukraine’s south, a statue of the city’s first governor, the Duke of Richelieu, was sheathed in sandbags in anticipation of further Russian attacks.

As Ukrainian forces waged intense battles for Kyiv, Kharkiv and other major cities, people waited to see what might come of an escalating war, faltering diplomatic efforts and Western sanctions against Russia.

Photographers with The New York Times and other news organizations are throughout Ukraine, following the fighting and the flow of refugees across Europe as Ukrainians cope with the uncertainty and fear of Russia’s military invasion.
