Fighting Around Ukraine's Perimeter As Russia Attacks From Nearly All Sides

Vladimir Putin launched an offensive on Ukraine in the early hours of Thursday after a national address. The main Russian advance on the first day of the operation also came from the occupied region of Crimea, from where armoured columns pressed quickly towards the southern city of Kherson. Ukrainian border guards also confirmed that Russian ground forces equipped with tanks had also crossed south over the Belarus-Ukraine border into the Kyiv administrative region, headed towards the capital.
