The Russian strikes were geographically widespread, hitting Ukraine from the eastern city of Luhansk to just outside the western city of Lviv, according to the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs. Other hubs including the capital city of Kyiv and Kharkiv were also attacked.

In recent weeks, Russian troops have positioned themselves around Ukraine, in Russia, Belarus and separatist regions surrounding Ukraine.
