Ukrainian forces battled Russian invaders around nearly all of the country's perimeter on Thursday after Moscow mounted a mass assault by land, sea and air in the biggest attack on a European state since the second World War.
Russia's Defence Ministry said its first day of the Ukraine invasion was "successful" hours after announcing it had destroyed 74 above-ground military infrastructure facilities, including 11 aerodromes.
Ukrainian police said Russia had carried out 203 attacks since the beginning of the day.
Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said troops were trying to fend
off Russians attempting to capture the Chernobyl nuclear power plant,
just 90 km north of the capital. Regional officials said Ukrainian
authorities had lost control of some territory in the Kherson region
near Russian-occupied Crimea. Calling on Ukrainians to defend their
country, Zelenskiy said arms would be given to anyone prepared to fight.
