Russia on Thursday 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 Two.
On Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin issued a statement, “To anyone who would consider interfering from the outside: if you do, you will face consequences greater than any you have faced in history. All relevant decisions have been taken. I hope you hear me.”
Following this, multiple blasts were reported from Ukraine. Pictures and videos of missiles, blasts, and sirens in Ukraine have also taken over social media.
