Watch Video Russia launched attacks on Ukraine early Thursday, in what Ukraine is describing as a "full-scale invasion." It''s the largest attack by one state against another in Europe since Word War II. Russia fired airstrikes across the country, leaving devastation and chaos on streets in many of Ukraine''s largest cities. Ukrainians have been seeking shelter or looking to flee as Russia''s invasion pushes forward. Russian troops have entered Ukraine on three fronts, from the East, with its majority ethnic-Russian population, through Russian-occupied Crimea in the South, and through both its own border with Ukraine and through neighboring Belarus in the north. In the first few hours of the invasion, Ukrainian officials reported dozens of military and civilian deaths. There has been a quick and emphatic response from the U.S. President Biden announced the U.S. would implement sweeping economic sanctions on Russia in response to the invasion. "Putin is the aggressor," President Biden said. "Putin chose this war, and now, he and his country will bear the consequences."
