The Russia-Ukraine Crisis

Russian President Vladimir Putin launched the Ukraine invasion following which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy declared martial law throughout the country.

US President Joe Biden denounced the “unprovoked and unjustified” attack, pledges that the world will “hold Russia accountable”.

The UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urges Putin to “stop troops from attacking Ukraine”. The crisis escalated after Russian-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine requested Moscow’s assistance.

Central European countries have condemned Russia’s attack and started preparations to receive potentially hundreds of thousands of people fleeing Ukraine.

A curfew has been announced in Kyiv, as the Russian military forces approach the country’s capital.

Russian forces took over several parts of Ukraine with gunfire, ariel combat, and explosions being reported from various parts of the country.
