The martial law is in effect throughout the country. Air bases in the Kherson Region and Odessa are on fire - almost the entire air defense system, as reported by the Russian Defense Ministry, has been brought out of action. The Ukrainian Navy is also reported to have been rendered inoperable. There were missile and bomb strikes on airports in five cities, including Boryspol, Ozerny, Nikolayev and Kramatorsk.
Special operation to protect Donbass
The self-proclaimed republics of Donbass are reporting that the Ukrainian army is retreating and is going to take positions in Mariupol. At the same time, the military is sweeping away civilian vehicles on the way.
Representatives of the self-proclaimed LNR accuse Kiev of using rocket artillery. It has not been used since 2015. There are also reports of possible mines at the Avdeyevsky Coke Plant. Claims have been made about downed Ukrainian aircraft SU24.
Situation in Ukraine
The residents are hiding in bomb shelters or fleeing the country. There are huge queues at the Slovak-Ukrainian border near Uzhgorod. Traffic jams are also on the way out of Kiev. And in the morning a siren sounded in the Ukrainian capital.
