Oleksii Arestovich, adviser to Ukraine’s president, says
about 40 people have been killed so far in the Russian attack on the country.
The adviser to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on
Thursday many people have been wounded, according to Fox35.
The president had said Ukraine was ready to hand weapons to
all those willing to defend the country.
“The future of the Ukrainian people depends on every
Ukrainian,” he said, asking all those who can defend the country to come to the
interior ministry’s assembly facilities.
In a televised address, Putin accused the US and its allies
of ignoring Russia’s demand to stop Ukraine from joining NATO and offer Moscow
security guarantees.
He also said Russia’s attack on Ukraine was after rebels in
eastern Ukraine asked the country for military assistance to help fend off
Ukrainian “aggression”.
A chilling video shows explosions lighting up the sky in
Ukraine earlier on Thursday morning as Russian military forces invaded the
country.
The explosions were seen near Kharkiv — a city with a
population of roughly 1.4 million near the eastern border and approximately 300
miles from the capital city of Kyiv, Ukraine.
The attack elicited outrage from the international community
with NATO holding talks on steps to take to tame Putin’s aggression.
US President Joe Biden described the attack as “unprovoked
and unjustified”, and said the world will “hold Russia accountable”.
