Following weeks of denials, the Russian military fired missiles at numerous Ukrainian cities and landed troops on the country’s coast on Thursday.
Early today, Russia unleashed a barrage of the missile, artillery, and air attacks, while Ukraine’s Interior Ministry claimed the capital, Kyiv, was being targeted and advised inhabitants to seek refuge. Ukraine’s border guard said that the country was being shelled from five directions, including Crimea in the south and Belarus in the north, and that Russian forces had entered the country.
According to news reports Russian troops have now surrounded the Ukrainian Capital Kiev and are only 15 minutes away to capture it.
