“This morning Russia launched a new military operation against our state. This is an unjustified deceitful and cynical invasion. There are strikes on military and other important defense facilities, border units are under attack, the situation in the Donbas has degraded. The Armed Forces of Ukraine, all special and law enforcement agencies of the state are on alert. The National Security and Defense Council is working in an emergency mode. Martial law will be imposed,” Volodymyr Zelensky said.

“Ukrainians will never give up their freedom and independence to anyone,” Zelensky added. (ILKHA)
