In the early morning hours of Thursday, February 24, Russian troops launched a full-scale attack on Ukraine, after Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that any countries who dared to interfere would face “consequences you have never seen”. Videos shared on social networks showed heavy missile attacks as well as Russian deployments on land. The FRANCE 24 Observers team spoke with residents of Kharkiv, Kyiv and Bila Tserkva, who told us how the invasion unfolded in their cities.
