UTENRIKS Russland har med hjelp av Hviterussland innledet en storskala invasjon av Ukraina.
Til tross for at Russland i flere uker har forsikret at de ikke har til hensikt å invadere Ukraina har landets handlinger den siste tiden mer og mer pekt mot at en invasjon er nær.
Natt til torsdag ble til slutt en storskala invasjon av Ukraina innledet, som kommer etter at Russlands president Vladimir Putin har anerkjent de to utbryterrepublikkene Donetsk og Luhansk som selvstendige stater og fylt dem med soldater.
Nedenfor finnes litt klipp og annet som har blitt publisert på sosiale medier i løpet av dagen.
