Russia Ukraine news: Putin orders ‘military operation’ in Ukraine

Vladimir Putin has ordered a “military operation” in the Donbas region, indicating that the invasion is now underway.

 

Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced he has authorised a “military operation” in the Donbas region in Ukraine — a move seen by Ukraine and the west as the beginning of Russia’s invasion.

Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has called it “full-scale war”.

Explosions have been heard in as many as five cities including Kyiv and Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second largest city, as well as the key Black Sea port city of Odessa.

Ukraine’s interior ministry has already declared “hundreds of casualties as a result of Russian missile attacks” around the country, according to CNN.

Mr Putin sparked panic by recognising the breakaway territories of Luhansk and Donetsk in eastern Ukraine – known collectively as the Donbas region – earlier this week.

Thousands of troops and vehicles have already crossed the border, with a string of Western nations, including Australia, imposing harsh sanctions in response.

Ukraine has also ordered an estimated three million citizens currently living in Russia to return home “immediately” over fears of looming violence.

Ukraine says Russia launched ‘full-scale war’ but ‘we will win’

Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has responded to the news that Russia has invaded Ukraine.

On social media, he shared a pointed message to the world to ignore claims by Russia that the so-called “military operation” is anything other than a war.

“Putin has launched a full-scale war against Ukraine,” he wrote.

“Strikes continue on peaceful Ukrainian cities. This is a war of aggression. Ukraine will defend and win. The world can and must stop Putin. It’s time to act - just now.”

Ukraine’s leader Volodymyr Zelensky said Wednesday that he had unsuccessfully sought talks with Mr Putin as the crisis between their two countries entered its most dangerous phase so far.

“I initiated a telephone call with the president of the Russian federation. Result: Silence,” Zelensky said in a late night address.

Ukraine wakes to explosions in at least five cities

Ukranians are waking to horror as explosions ring out before dawn in at least five cities including the capital Kyiv, Ukraine’s second largest city Kharkiv and the key Black Sea port city of Odessa.

AFP correspondents are reporting they heard explosions in Kharkiv, a large city 35 kilometres (20 miles) south of the Russian border.

Four loud blasts rang out in Kramatorsk, a frontline city that serves as the Ukrainian government’s effective capital for the eastern war zone, and more were heard in the eastern port city of Mariupol, AFP reporters said.

It comes as the first images emerge of bomb blasts in Ukraine.

Russia’s Lavrov: A third world war would be nuclear, destructive

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has warned that if a third world war were to occur, it would involve nuclear weapons and be destructive, according to Russian media.

The comments reported by the RIA news agency on Wednesday came a day after he told a Geneva disarmament meeting via video link that neighbouring Ukraine, which Russian invaded last week, had been seeking nuclear weapons.

He did not provide evidence other than saying “Ukraine still has Soviet nuclear technologies and the means of delivery of such weapons.”

Lavrov has also said that Russia would have faced a “real danger” if Ukraine acquired nuclear weapons.

Nuclear forces on high alert

Russian forces attacked Ukraine by land, air and sea, the biggest attack by one state against another in Europe since World War II.

The move has been countered by the West with harsh economic sanctions on Russia as well as deliveries of arms and humanitarian aid to Ukraine.

The US government on Tuesday announced a ban on Russian flights in its airspace, following similar moves by the European Union and Canada.

On Sunday, Russian President Vladimir Putin put his strategic nuclear forces on alert, causing ripples across the globe and raising the threat the tensions could lead to the use of nuclear weapons.

Putin said his decision came after leading NATO powers made “aggressive statements” while imposing hard-hitting financial sanctions against Russia and himself.

US President Joe Biden played down the threat of Russia’s “dangerous” nuclear mobilisation. Asked if people in the United States should be worried about nuclear war, Biden gave a calm “no” in response.

Russia, according to studies, commands the world’s biggest nuclear arsenal. The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) has counted 6,255 Russian warheads against 5,550 for the US. China follows far behind with 350 and France with 290.

These figures, although widely accepted, are nevertheless estimates, notably because not all nuclear-capable weapons systems actually carry nuclear warheads, a data which is mostly unclear.

Can't find the video. Long story short. Years back, Putin said that the us had so advanced our anti nuclear capabilities that it had tipped the power balance globally. I really doubt he's trying to get nuked from space while our missile defenses take all his icbms out the air.

Police: Woman stabbed date in revenge of Iranian's killing

A woman stabbed her date whom she had met online in retaliation for the 2020 death of an Iranian military leader killed in an American drone strike, police said.

Nika Nikoubin, 21, has been charged with attempted murder, battery with a deadly weapon and burglary, KLAS-TV reported.

Nikoubin and the man met online on a dating website, Henderson police wrote in an arrest report. The pair then agreed to meet at Sunset Station hotel on March 5, renting a room together.

While in the room, the pair began having sex when Nikoubin put a blindfold on the man, police said. Nikoubin then turned off the lights, and several minutes later, the man “felt a pain on the side of his neck,” KLAS reported.

 

Nikoubin reportedly stabbed the man in the neck “for revenge against U.S. troops for the killing of Qassem Soleimani in 2020,” police wrote in a report.

U.S. forces killed Soleimani , a top general in Iran’s military, in a drone strike in January 2020. Soleimani headed the expeditionary Quds Force of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps. responsible for the Islamic Republic’s foreign operations. He gained prominence for advising Shiite paramilitary forces fighting the Islamic State group in Iraq, before it was defeated in 2017.

After the stabbing, the man pushed Nikoubin off of him and ran out of the room to call 911, police said.

Nikoubin also ran out of the room, telling a hotel employee that she had just stabbed a man, police said.

When talking to police, Nikoubin told an investigator “she wanted revenge,” police said. She said she had listened to a song called “Grave Digger,” which “gave her the motivation… to carry out her revenge.”
