Gunfire rattled out near the main airport and sirens blared across the city. Russian troops attacked Ukraine from Belarus as well as Russia with Belarusian support, and an attack was also being launched from annexed Crimea, Ukraine’s border guard service said.Įxplosions could be heard before dawn in the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv. Ukraine reported columns of troops pouring across its borders into the eastern Chernihiv, Kharkiv and Luhansk regions, and landing by sea at the cities of Odesa and Mariupol in the south. Russian missiles rained down on Ukrainian cities. The move came after Moscow earlier recognised rebel-held territories in Luhansk and Donetsk and said they had asked for its “help”. The attacks began on Thursday after Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a televised address that he had approved a “special military operation”. Russia has launched an all-out invasion of Ukraine by land, air and sea, the biggest attack by one state against another in Europe since World War II and confirmation of the worst fears of the West.
