After 22 days of war, Ukraine is still suffering bomb attacks.
On Friday, reports suggest survivors have started to emerge from the ruins of a Mariupol theatre.
As many as 1300 people were taking refuge in the basement of a Mariupol theatre, and as the world waited to see how many of them survived, the bad news filtered out that there were no emergency services left to help them.
But today we know the solid old building may have saved many lives - we just don't know how many yet.
"We started to clean the rubble - of course it is really, really hard, it's really, really difficult because shelling never stops... but looks like people are safe," Ukrainian MP Dmytro Gurin said.
But across the broken city others are not safe. Thousands of cars continue to flee as authorities say 90 percent of Mariupol has now been damaged or destroyed.
Russia continues to push an alternative truth.
"In such a situation, it is not a surprise that Mariupol has become almost a leader in the number and ingeniousness of the fakes, and their manufacturing has become almost the main job of the Ukrainian regime," a Russian Federal said.
Evidence of Russian attacks is everywhere. In the country's northeast city of Merefa, 21 people were killed when missiles destroyed a school and community centre.
But whether many lives are claimed or just one, the impact of human loss is equally horrifying.
In a Kyiv hospital, President Zelensky visited the recovering and injured. He praised the survivors who are civilians, not soldiers.
Former Californian Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger sent his own plea to Russian President Vladimir Putin, telling the Russian people they are being lied to.
"You see, Ukraine did not start this war, neither did nationalists or Nazis - those in power in the Kremlin started this war," Schwarzenegger said.
And from the first to leave to the 3.1 millionth, the heartbreak has not lessened and the painful goodbyes through windows have not grown any easier to bear.
Like so many here, they’re hoping, it’s not the last song they will share.
"We stay here, but my wife, my sister, other girls, her mother, are going to Germany," a Ukrainian man says.
"How are you feeling?" Newshub asked.
"Badly, but I understand it's the best I can do right now for them," he replied.
The trauma this train carries is unimaginable. It’s heading west on a 24-hour journey to Rakiv, but even then these refugees will still have to find a way to get out of Ukraine.
From the platforms to the frontlines to the cities under siege - Ukrainian freedom has already cost so many Ukrainian lives.
