Russia invaded Ukraine, its neighbor to the west, early on Thursday morning local time, marking the outbreak of the largest land war in Europe since World War II. "The Russian military plunged into Ukraine by land, sea and air on Thursday, killing more than 100 Ukrainian soldiers and civilians," the New York Times reported on Friday morning.
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that his goal is the "demilitarization and de-Nazification of Ukraine," a reference to Russian state media propaganda that falsely portrays Ukraine as dominated by fascists and abusive toward its ethnic Russian minority.

Meanwhile, a number of Ukrainian civilians have volunteered to take up arms to defend their country.
The United States and its European allies have imposed economic sanctions on Russia and condemned its aggression.
