LIVE: Kiev’s Maidan Square as Putin launches full-scale invasion of Ukraine

#Live #BreakingNews #Ukraine #Kiev #Kyiv #Russia #Putin Watch live footage from Kyiv’s Maidan Square as Russia today launched all-out war on Ukraine with simultaneous attacks coming from south, east and north, by land and by air. It came after Vladimir Putin gave an extraordinary early-morning address to the Russian nation - delivered during a UN meeting aimed at avoiding war - in which he declared a ’special military operation’ to ’de-militarise’ and ’de-Nazify’ Ukraine in what amounted to a outright declaration of war. The Russian strongman also issued a chilling warning to any country thinking of coming to Ukraine’s aid, vowing ’consequences greater than any you have faced in history’. ’I hope I have been heard,’ he said. Ukrainian President Zelensky then followed with his own address - delivered from home - in which he declared martial law and vowed to resist the Russian attack, come what may. ’Don’t panic. We are strong. We are ready for everything. We will defeat everyone. Because we are Ukraine,’
