Photos have begun to emerge Thursday showing the beginning stages of war and a country in peril just hours after reports Russia has invaded Ukraine.
Since Russian President Vladimir Putin appeared in a video early Thursday morning announcing “a special military operation” in Ukraine, photos and videos in the country illustrate a bloody attack. Civilians are hiding in subway stations and people are fleeing the capital city of Kyiv as buildings burn from airstrikes, the images show.

No one knows where it is safe to be, or whether there will be more strikes and where, and Russian troops are moving from the north. pic.twitter.com/6gXgeSEM1V
