Clive Myrie has issued a warning over the war in Ukraine, after sharing his plans to return to Kyiv.
The BBC presenter appeared on The One Show to discuss his experiences of reporting in the war-torn country, as he spoke of the resilience of the Ukrainian people who are continuing to fight against Russia.
Clive was forced to flee Kyiv, but has vowed to return to the city when he can to continue his reporting on what's happening there.
Speaking on The One Show, he said: "This is a war on a different scale because it involves two national armies with the very latest and with the very latest weapons and destroying people and destroying their lives.
"They're destroying buildings and wiping places off the map and when you've got two armies going against each other, there's going to be a lot of damage."
He added: "The situation was very bad when I left, and it's now clear that it's getting a lot worse, with clearly indiscriminate attacks on residential areas, hospitals, schools. This really is turning into total warfare."
Clive has previously vowed to return to Ukraine to continue to report on what's happening there.
"A quick thank you for all your good wishes over the last 2 weeks, you’ve all been very kind to me and the BBC teams in Ukraine. I’m now heading back to London, but will return. #UkraineRussianWar #ukraine," he wrote earlier this month.
He was forced to flee Ukraine's capital of Kyiv in the end, after staying until the very last moment.
Sharing a picture of him and his crew stuck in traffic, he wrote at the time: "It was a long, day of driving and queuing to get out of Kyiv. Imagine having to leave all you know in a hurry because you’re being shelled! What do you pack? Do pets come too?
"It’s freezing cold and you pray those in neighbouring countries will welcome you, not despise you! My thoughts are with the 1million who’ve fled #Ukraine because they might be killed. The millions who fled #syria and many other millions escaping repression, poverty, war. They all pray they’ll be welcomed in other countries as human beings. That’s all they ask #refugees."
