Ukraine: People flee, soldiers prepare for battle

Because of the Russian attack on his country, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has imposed martial law on the entire Ukraine. Russia is attacking Ukraine’s “military infrastructure,” he said in a video message posted on Facebook Thursday morning. The Russian military confirmed attacks on Ukraine’s military infrastructure with “high-precision weapons”.

Zelenskyy urged citizens not to panic. “We are ready for anything, we will win,” he added. But it’s not just in Kiev that people are trying to get out of the city. Others seek shelter from Russian missiles in metro stations.

The separatists reported taking two small towns after the Russian invasion of eastern Ukraine. The separatists said they were Stanytsia Luhanska and Shchastya. Accordingly, troops advanced across the river Siverskyi Donets, which previously formed the front line. At the same time, the authorities in Kiev confirmed the advance of the pro-Russian forces into the area controlled by Ukrainian government troops.

The Interior Ministry in the capital Kiev announced that the Russian army had advanced to the towns of Milowe and Horodyshche on Ukrainian territory. In addition, ammunition depots in the western Ukrainian region of Khmelnytskyi and in the southeastern Ukrainian region of Dnipropetrovsk were attacked with rockets. A television tower was destroyed in the western Ukrainian city of Lutsk. According to the information, barracks of the Ukrainian armed forces in the western Ukrainian region of Vinnytsia and near the capital Kiev were also attacked. The background was initially unclear.
