Russian forces invaded Ukraine by land, air and sea on Thursday, with Russian missiles raining down on Ukrainian cities and reports of troops pouring across the border. "This is a war of aggression. Ukraine will defend itself and will win. The world can and must stop Putin. The time to act is now." A man and woman stand next to fragments of military equipment on the street in the aftermath of an apparent Russian strike in Kharkiv, Ukraine, on Thursday.
However, an adviser to Ukraine's president says about 40 people have been killed so far in the Russian attacks on the country. Oleksii Arestovich said Thursday that several dozen people have been wounded. He didn't specify whether the casualties included civilians.
Earlier, Ukrainian media reported that military command centres in Kyiv and Kharkiv had been struck by missiles, while Russian troops had landed in the port cities of Odessa and Mariupol. A Reuters witness later heard three loud blasts in Mariupol.
