An adviser to Ukraine’s president confirmed about 40 people have been killed so far, as explosions have been heard across the Ukraine.
Overnight, world leaders denounced the invasion. President Biden spoke with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the White House released a statement calling Russia’s actions “unprovoked and unjustified.”In an emergency meeting late Wednesday night, UN security council members joined the chorus of condemnation against Russia.
Putin has warned that if any nations try to interfere it would lead to “consequences you have never seen.”Ukrainian President Zelenskyy is calling on citizens to fight and defend their country from Russian forces, promising weapons for anyone who wants to take arms. As CBS’s Mugo Odigwe reported, protesters gathered overnight in D.C. outside of the Russian Embassy. Protesters chanted “end the war now,” while holding signs and waving the Ukrainian flag.“I want to be clear that no one is responsible for this bloodshed other than Putin. As I have for months, I will continue to call for appropriate repercussions for Russia’s invasion, and if necessary, I will press the administration and our allies to take broader, harsher action.
