Global News published this video item, entitled “Russia-Ukraine conflict: “Full-scale invasion” underway as Putin orders military operation” – below is their description.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered a “special military operation” in eastern Ukraine, telling the West not to intervene in what appeared to be the beginning of war in Europe.
Putin said in an early televised speech Thursday the action was in response to threats coming from Ukraine, while insisting Russia doesn’t have a goal to occupy the country.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy declared martial law and confirmed military strikes have been reported across the country. He urged citizens not to panic and to “stay at home if you can.”
Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba called Putin’s move a “full-scale invasion of Ukraine” and said cities were being targeted.
