Kyiv Experiencing Explosions: Russia started missile strikes around 4 a.m. on Friday in Kyiv, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, although its soldiers were halted from advancing in most directions. Following Russian President Vladimir Putin’s announcement of military actions in Ukraine, the shelling begins the second day of fighting. Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy claimed 137 people had been murdered so far, including ten military members, and 316 people had been injured.
Meanwhile, US Vice President Joe Biden has stated that if Putin pushes into NATO countries, Washington will interfere, emphasizing that he will become emboldened if his Russian counterpart is not stopped now. The Baltic states of Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and the countries on NATO’s eastern border have all received the first batches of US military troops and equipment.
According to Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak, Russian soldiers grabbed the Chernobyl nuclear facility site after a brutal confrontation with Ukrainian national guards.
