Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed Russia carried out drone strikes against their military infrastructure, border guards and border units.
Zelenskyy went on to say explosions were heard in many cities. He urged residents to stay home and remain calm. His remarks came after Russian President Vladimir Putin declared a special military operation in the sovereign country.

“We are imposing martial law throughout our country,” Zelenskyy stated. “A moment ago I had a telephone conversation with President Biden, the United States has already started to deploy international support. What we need from each and every one of you today is calm, please stay home if possible. We are working, the army is working, the entire security sector of Ukraine is working.”
U.S. President Joe Biden is set to meet with his counterparts from the Group of Seven allies. The G7 talks will be held to map out more severe measures against Russia after Putin launched what Biden called a premeditated war against Ukraine (https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2022/02/23/statement-by-president-biden-on-russias-unprovoked-and-unjustified-attack-on-ukraine/).

The White House said Biden met with the national security council in the situation room to discuss the situation. The U.S. president is expected to address the nation after his meeting with the G7 allies. He assured the world will hold Russia accountable.
Russian President Putin warned NATO and the West at large that any attempt to interfere with his invasion will be met with unprecedented consequences. He issued the warning in a televised address Thursday while simultaneously telling Ukranian service members if they lay down their arms, they would be allowed to return to their families.
“Whoever would try to stop us and further create threats to our country, to our people, should know that Russia’s response will be immediate and lead you to such consequences that you have never faced in your history,” Putin stated. “We are ready for any outcome.”
President Zelenskyy urged all Ukrainians to unite behind their armed forces and for world leaders stand up to Putin who wants to destroy the democratic world.
