Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has been urging global leaders to provide defense assistance to Ukraine and help protect its airspace from Russia.
Anton Gerashchenko, Ukraine's deputy interior minister, said, "Russia had fired missiles on military headquarters, airports, military warehouses near Kyiv, Kharkov and Dnieper."
Moments after Russian President Vladimir Putin declared war on Ukraine, large explosions were witnessed in the embattled country’s Kyiv and Kharkiv regions.
