Here are the things to know about the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the security crisis in Eastern Europe
News agency BBC reported, quoting an on-ground journalist, that access is “severely restricted,” saying “this message got through, but took a while.”
The announcement comes hours after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had turned down U.S.'s offer to evacuate Kyiv at the behest of the U.S. government.
Even if Beijing wanted to, its ability to support President Vladimir Putin by importing more Russian gas and other goods is limited.
In a video that went viral on social media, the Ukrainian guards and Russian forces engaged in an exchange. After the exchange, all 13 guards of the Ukrainian island were killed.
Embassy of India in Kyiv said that more than 470 Indian students will exit Ukraine and enter Romania through the Porubne-Siret Border, amid escalating tensions over Russia's military actions in Ukraine.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine caused a barrage of new financial sanctions Thursday. The sanctions are meant to isolate, punish and impoverish Russia in the long term.
Xi stressed that China’s position has always been to respect every country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
An Indian student stuck in Ukraine said that the embassies are not picking up their calls, as they are flooded with cries for help. Many Indians were seen outside the embassies earlier. She, however, is sure that the Government of India will help evacuate them.
The sanctions target Russian banks, oligarchs and high-tech sectors, Biden said. The United States and its allies will block assets of four large Russian banks, impose export controls and sanction oligarchs.
Biden, for weeks, has promised “swift and severe costs” if Russian forces moved into Ukraine, and he made clear that the U.S. would go after Russia financially, not militarily. So, how will Russia be affected by the sanctions?
In the telephonic conversation, Putin briefed PM Modi about the recent developments in Ukraine. The Prime Minister reiterated his long-standing conviction that the differences between Russia and the NATO group can only be resolved through honest and sincere dialogue.
In Donetsk, three civilians were killed in a shelling attack. Meanwhile, Ukraine had claimed that 50 Russian soldiers were killed as they invaded the country.
NATO said that they don't have troops in Ukraine, and don't have any plans to send NATO troops into Ukraine
NATO ambassadors said in a statement after emergency talks that “we have increased the readiness of our forces to respond to all contingencies.”
Ukrainian President Zelenskyy said that Russian President Vladimir Putin "has unleased a war with Ukraine and the entire democratic world.”
While some member countries are supplying arms, ammunition and other equipment to Ukraine, NATO as an organisation is not, and it will not launch any military action in support of Ukraine, which is a close partner but has no prospect of joining.
The Russian President had also demanded an immediate end of Ukraine 'military operations'.
The address comes at a time of the West's growing tensions about the Russia-Ukraine crisis.
The death comes at a crucial time of West's fears of Russia invading the neighboring country.
