Ukraine officials asked residents to seek shelter.
ELATED: How the conflict could affect the US economy
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Saturday pressed the world to help his country beat back a Russian invasion, even as those forces attacked Kyiv from various directions in an effort to take the capital.
Zelenskyy tweeted that he had started "a new day on the diplomatic frontline" by talking to French President Emmanuel Macron. In a second tweet, Zelenskyy called the present "a crucial moment to close the long-standing discussion once and for all and decide on Ukraine's membership in the #EU," or European Union.
But despite international condemnation of Russia's strike against its smaller neighbor, Russia carried out airstrikes on cities and military bases in the predawn hours. The violence prompted thousands of Ukrainians to flee their homes, looking for safety in nearby countries.

I salute the Ukrainian President Zelensky. He could’ve fled the country for his own safety, but he chose to stay behind to protect his nation and knows that he could be executed or worse. This is a real leader, and real courage patriotic President ever. President Zelensky will go in the world history, the bravest president in mankind. The world history will remember this man for many centuries to come. RESPECT!
Да, после войны , в 1945, в США И КАНАДУ СБЕЖАЛИ , ТЕ КТО ЖИВЬЕМ СЖИГАЛ ЛЮДЕЙ , В СЕЛАХ, ОНИ БЫЛИ ИЗ СС, И ЗАБЕРИТЕ К СЕБЕ ЭТУ ТВАРЬ, ДАВШИЙ КОМАНДУ 2 года, года, убивать детей и стариков, в ДОНЕЦКЕ, ИНАЧЕ ЕГО МАТЕРИ, УБИТЫХ ДЕТЕЙ, С ДОНЕЦКА, РАЗОРВУТ НА КУСОЧКИ.
Stay strong Ukraine. I cannot imagine the fear they’re feeling. Let’s just hope this nightmare ends soon and everyone can be safe again. Greetings from Brazil ❤️

“Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.”

Try Googling Maslow’s….Hierarchy of Needs. A far better guide to life.
Zelensky thanks
Just watched video footage of a Russian tank……..no idea where they were……..no idea where they were going………and had run out of fuel. !!!
🇺🇦 For anyone unsure how to help, Ukraine Official Twitter! they’re still accepting aid through the west and there’s reported shortages of medical supplies and food in some outskirts, not everyone had the luxury of a train to Poland, ironically how that has changed its meaning now.
You can still donate even three dollars through the official links,
means blankets and beans for another day or you can donate to army. World’s people are behind you! 💌🇺🇦✊✊
