“It’s so frightening for us far away from this. Can’t imagine the pain and suffering they are experiencing,” another wrote.
“Get them to watch Newsround. It explains things in such an age-appropriate way. I honestly don’t understand things either – but hope Newsround can help!” one follower suggested, as did others.
This Morning disrupted
Due to the current crisis in Ukraine, yesterday’s This Morning was disrupted numerous times.
The show, which usually airs at 10am every weekday, was five minutes late to start yesterday.
This was down to the fact that ITV News was running hourly bulletins to keep viewers up to date with what was happening in Eastern Europe.

“Oh god get a grip. Nothing like a dash of propaganda on your daytime telly,” another said. However, some viewers understood the need for cutting back to ITV News.
