Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Thursday called on all the citizens to come forward to protect their country from Russian forces and said they would issue weapons to everyone who wanted them. Russia launched an attack on Ukraine by land, air and sea on Thursday, the most significant attack by one state against another in Europe since World War II, forcing tens to thousands of people to flee from their homes.

After Russian President Vladimir Putin declared war in a television address, explosions and gunfire were heard through the day in Ukraine, and at least 70 people were reported dead. The attack brought an end to diplomatic efforts by Western leaders to stop the war. “This is a premeditated attack,” US President Joe Biden said at the White House as he imposed harsh new sanctions, coordinated with allies, against Russian banks, oligarchs and state companies.
