“This morning Russia launched a new military operation against our state. This is an unjustified deceitful and cynical invasion.
There are strikes on military and other important defense facilities, border units are under attack, the situation in the Donbas has degraded.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine, all special and law enforcement agencies of the state are on alert. The National Security and Defense Council is working in an emergency mode.
Martial law will be imposed.
Our diplomats are informing the world about what is happening. Ukrainians will never give up their freedom and independence to anyone. Only we, all citizens of Ukraine, have been determining our future since 1991. But now the fate of not only our state is being decided, but also what life in Europe will be like.
Whether at least something of the force of international law remains will depend on the world’s fair and just response to this aggression.
Civilians of Ukraine should stay at home. Warn your loved ones about what is happening. Take care of those who need help.
All thoughts and prayers are with our soldiers.
Glory to Ukraine!”, so did Volodimir Zelenski (President of Ukraine) dennounce North to South, West to East that Putin had taken the final step to start the invasion of his country with the Russian Federation armed forces.
The leaders of the European Union, USA, the UK NATO and other allies of Ukraine have reacted strongly againt the attack on Ukraine by the Russian Federation armed forces:
Translation of the tweet by Olav Scholz:
“The Russian attack on Ukraine is a blatant breach of international law. Nothing can justify him. Germany strongly condemns this reckless act by President Putin. Our solidarity is with Ukraine and its people.
Russia must stop this military action immediately. Today we will coordinate closely within the framework of the G7, NATO and the EU. This is a terrible day for Ukraine and a dark day for Europe”
