After President Vladimir Putin authorized a military operation to demilitarise Ukraine, Russian soldiers targeted towns across the nation. Ukraine declared that the invasion had begun shortly after Putin made the declaration in a special televised address and that Russia was targeting military sites.
“There have recently been missile attacks on military offices, airports, and military stockpiles near Kyiv, Kharkiv, and the Dnieper. There is gunfire at the border “Ukraine’s deputy interior minister, Anton Gerashchenko, stated in a message on his official Facebook page.
Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba stated the country was under assault as well. He said that Russia has initiated a full-fledged invasion of Ukraine and is launching military strikes against cities.
“Putin has recently begun a full-fledged invasion of Ukraine. Strikes are taking place in peaceful Ukrainian cities “Mr. Kuleba stated in a tweet.
“This is an aggressive war. Ukraine will defend itself and come out on top. Putin can and must be stopped. The moment has come to act “He stated.
According to Interfax Ukraine, rockets were fired at military sites across Ukraine, and Russian forces landed in the southern port cities of Odesa and Mariupol. It also stated that personnel and passengers were being evacuated from Kyiv’s Boryspil airport.
Joe Biden expressed indignation at Putin’s declaration, warning of “catastrophic loss of life.”
Weeks of hard diplomacy to prevent conflict, as well as the introduction of Western sanctions on Russia, failed to dissuade Putin, who had amassed between 150,000 and 200,000 troops near Ukraine’s borders.
