Russia has started a military operation in Ukraine.
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the start of the operation Wednesday night. The military subsequently reported it had targeted Ukrainian air bases and other military assets, but not populated areas.
According to the Associated Press, Putin’s announcement of the action included a warning to other countries that any attempt to interfere would lead to “consequences they have never seen.”
Reporters from numerous international media outlets working in Ukraine heard explosions, including in the cities of Kyiv, Odesa and Kharkiv.
World leaders including Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and U.S. President Joe Biden have denounced the attack, with Biden saying the world will “hold Russia accountable.”

The world will hold Russia accountable.

A number of countries had levied sanctions against Russia and individuals in that country in hopes of stopping the attack, but that strategy wasn’t successful.
More to come.
