Ukrainian President Zelenskyy imposes martial law in response to Russia military operation; sirens sound in Ukraine capital of Kyiv. https://t.co/RdYLvfum24
Ukraine's armed forces are heavily outnumbered and outgunned by Russia's, but as Russia begins what may be a large-scale invasion, military experts say they would be capable of mounting significant resistance and inflicting heavy casualties https://t.co/eF9T4mBzyi
Hour ago Russia with the participation of Lukashenka’s regime launched a groundless and shameless military aggression against Ukraine. The regime turned our country into an aggressor. But Belarusians don’t want war. Belarus strongly condemns this move and stands with Ukraine.
"President Putin, in the name of humanity, bring your troops back to Russia.
This conflict must stop now."

Reminder: Russia signed a binding international agreement in 1994 committing "to respect the independence and sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine” and “to refrain from the threat or use of force” against the country.
President Zelensky says Russia is attacking military installations across the country. Ukraine is launching its own defensive measures. He urges Ukrainians to stay calm and stay home. He says he spoke to President Biden.
