Russia launched a wide-ranging attack on Ukraine, hitting cities and bases with airstrikes or shelling, as civilians piled into trains and cars to flee. Ukraine’s leadership said dozens of people have been killed so far in what it called a “full-scale war” targeting the country from the east, north and south.
President Vladimir Putin deflected global condemnation and cascading new sanctions and threatened any foreign country attempting to interfere.

At least 57 Ukrainians have died and another 169 have been injured, according to Ukraine’s Minister of Health.
