Russia has began a war on Europe by crossing the Ukrainian border and targeting key parts of the country, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said.
Despite weeks of tension with Russia deploying troops on the Ukrainian border, the full scale invasion of the country in the early hours of this morning surprised many.
Missiles were launched at airports and military bases, attack helicopters hovered above the capital Kyiv and soldiers fought by the infamous Chernobyl nuclear power plant.
