Shocking images come from Ukraine, showing bloodied civilians walking the streets, despite Russian President Vladimir Putin claiming he declared war on “protecting civilians” after ordering a full-scale invasion this morning.
Russia today launched simultaneous attacks coming from the south, east and north, from the ground and from the air, killing at least 40 civilians at noon, including a young boy, Ukrainian authorities said.
Other civilians were also injured and several others are believed to have died in the 203 attacks launched so far by Russian forces, Ukrainian police said.
The Russian Defense Ministry said it did not target cities but used precision weapons and claimed that “there is no threat to the civilian population.”
However, Luhansk, Sumy, Kharkiv and Chernihiv in eastern Ukraine are all reported to be under attack, with explosions also reported in the west – in Zhytomyr and Lviv, near the border with Poland.
Kiev’s main international airport was hit in the first bombing of the city since World War II, and air strike sirens were heard over the capital at dawn.
