A 30-day long state of national emergency is set to be declared in Ukraine subject to parliamentary approval

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a national address on Wednesday that 200,000 Russian troops are stationed on Ukraine’s border and the trigger for a Russian invasion can happen “any minute.” Russian President Vladimir Putin secured approval to use armed forces abroad.

Ukraine declared a state of emergency and told its citizens in Russia to come home while Moscow began evacuating its Kyiv embassy in the latest ominous signs for Ukrainians who fear an all-out Russian military onslaught.

The UN Security Council emergency meeting has started. Earlier in the day, the U.S. said Russian troops were poised to attack Ukraine.

What people are saying?

Kevin Rothrock In a new, early-morning national address, Putin says he’s decided to launch a special military operation in the Donbas (in eastern Ukraine). He says Russia doesn’t plan to occupy Ukraine (it already is).

Kim jin-nam believe that diplomacy was an excuse and war was Putin’s heart. Therefore, I believe that Ukraine, NATO and the United States should not be obsessed with diplomacy, but should thoroughly prepare for war and end the war quickly with precision strikes.
