Russia launched an attack on Ukraine on Thursday, February 24th, 2022. There were several attacks, including the capital of Kyiv, resulting in many people dying. It started shortly after Vladimir Putin, President of Russia, declared a “special military operation”, and explosions lit up the dawn sky. The UN held an emergency meeting following the attacks. The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, went on television for a dramatic plea for Russia not to attack, saying that Ukraine wants peace.
