Video The invasion of Russia in Ukraine began on February 24th. Here is what images tell this conflict to the doors of Europe.
The war in Ukraine started a week ago, before the dawn of February 24, 2022. That day, Vladimir Putin announces the launch of a military operation conducted by Russia in Ukraine. According to him, this offensive is an answer to the call for the help of the Western Ukraine separatists and the aggressive NATO policy with respect to his country.
In the early hours of February 24, the Russian army started the bombing of several Ukrainian cities and ground troops crossed the border. Since the beginning of the invasion, Ukraine has been plagued by shelling who do not spare civilians. In the space of a week, one million people fled the country according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi.
The situation is condemned by a large part of the international community that is mobilized to support Ukraine. The Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky asked for help with foreign powers several times. On the diplomatic level, the first talks between Russians and Ukrainians, Sunday, had not given anything.
