Video back in pictures on the first hours of the massive military offensive led by Russia against Ukraine, on the night of February 23 and 24.
Russian attacks in Ukraine have not limited to Donetsk and Louhansk’s “popular republics”, recognized by Moscow on Monday, February 21st. On the night of February 23rd to 24th, the Russian army attacked the Kiev capital, but also the cities of Tchouhouïv and Kharkiv. Residential buildings were affected by the Russian missiles, while the Russian army had announced that it would preserve civilian populations.
Dozens of trucks from the Russian army have also entered the Ukrainian territory through Crimea. Faced with these offensives, the Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky, called on the civilians to take up arms to defend “the sovereignty” of their country.
