Ignoring all threats from Western powers and UN "pleas", Russia, which is far ahead in all respects in terms of energy-capacity-size, has launched an attack on neighboring Ukraine. The capital, Kiev, was not spared from the simultaneous attack on several major Ukrainian cities on Thursday morning.
Hundreds of lives have already been lost, according to claims by both Ukraine and Russia. People in the affected areas of the country are leaving their homes in fear.
As a result of the preparations of the last few months, Russia has already completed the work of encircling Ukraine from three sides. They deployed about two lakh troops around the country.
This is the first such large-scale military operation against a European state since World War II. This is the first bombing in the Ukrainian capital, Kiev, since World War II.
On Monday night, Vladimir Putin gave the initial order to send Russian troops to "peacekeeping" in eastern Ukraine. Two days have passed in the middle of the fog. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, which took place in the Ukrainian border. The final news was available on Thursday. By then, the air or missile strikes had begun.
Russia attacked at least seven major cities, including the Ukrainian capital Kiev, around 5 a.m. Moscow's time yesterday. The first attack took place in the capital, Kiev. At the beginning of the offensive in Ukraine, Russian forces used missiles, warplanes and long-range artillery. Several missiles were fired in Kiev. Russian forces use long-range weapons in an attack on the Russian border town of Kharkiv.
At around 8:15 a.m. local time, Russian infantry entered Ukraine. Russian forces crossed the border from northern Belarus into Ukraine. This huge fleet of Russian forces has a variety of weapons. Russian forces have also entered Ukraine through southern Crimea and the eastern Donbass region, according to various media reports.
In this situation, the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky has imposed martial law in the country. He also called on every citizen to take up arms.
Kiev claims that at least six people, including 10 civilians, have been killed in Ukraine. And the Russian army killed 50.
Ukraine has also demanded that Ukraine shoot down six Russian warplanes, but Moscow has denied the allegations.
Russia claims that 70 military bases in Ukraine have been targeted and destroyed. There are also 11 airports.
Residents have been fleeing Kiev in fear since the Russian invasion began. A numerous have been seen on the roads of the capital Kiev since yesterday morning, and crowds of people have been increasing at the metro stations. Long queues of people can be seen in front of cash machines to collect money.
Cyberattack: Ukraine alleges that they were also the victims of a massive cyberattack last Wednesday. And the attack is "completely different" in the Ukrainian government's language. In the afternoon, the websites of several banks and government departments in Ukraine went down.
Global response: There has been a strong reaction from world leaders since the start of the invasion of Ukraine. The main rival is the United States, and France, which has so far been a strong ambassador to the war, has reacted strongly. French President Emmanuel Macho has called Russia's attack on Ukraine a "turning point in European history." Macho said France, along with other Western nations, would impose "appropriate" sanctions on Russia.
