More than 130 people have already died in the attack on Ukraine as Russian forces launch a full-scale assault on multiple fronts and Western nations announce sanctions.
Overnight, Ukraine reportedly gunned down a Russian aircraft over Kyiv in the early hours of Friday (February 25). Footage shows a large explosion in the sky, with fragments falling over residential buildings just after 4am.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a video address that he was Russia's "number one target". Citizens of Ukraine have been fleeing by train and car while men stay behind to fight.
