The situation around Ukraine has escalated over the past several days, with Ukrainian forces shelling the Donbass republics, prompting mass evacuations of civilians. After an appeal by both the DPR and LPR, Russia recognised them as independent nations and demanded that Kiev stop the attacks.
On Thursday, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine in order to stop the war in Donbass.
Russian forces used precision weapons to neutralise military infrastructure, including air bases and air defences. At the same time, the Russian Ministry of Defence stressed there is no threat to the civilian population in Ukraine.
