Russia attacks Ukraine as defiant Vladimir Putin warns United States, NATO I ABC7

Russian troops launched a wide-ranging attack on Ukraine on Thursday, as President Vladimir Putin cast aside international condemnation and sanctions and warned other countries that any attempt to interfere would lead to "consequences you have never seen."

Hours later, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy severed diplomatic relations with Russia and declared martial law, saying Russia has targeted Ukraine's military infrastructure.

The problem is the leaders never suffer, but the innocent people sure do.

If this is allowed to happen without consequence, I’m certain Taiwan is next.

My heart is breaking for the people died of this attack. God have mercy on us all.

As I lay next to my four month old beautiful baby boy, I can’t help but cry thinking of other families over there with children who are scared and crying because they don’t understand what’s happening. This is heart wrenching

Amazing how a few oligarchs can have an impact on millions. That’s a huge problem.

instead of innocent lives fighting and dying in wars, we should make our leaders fight eachother in a caged 1v1 deathmatch. it would be internationally televised of course.

Putin said " any country that tries to help Ukraine will suffer consequences never seen before". That tells us all we need to know about who he is.

"They have given weapons to everyone who is willing to defend their country." One of the best lines I have ever heard!

This is why leaders should be on the front lines instead of in their office like the kings of old

So heart breaking 😪 Why do narcissistic leaders love war & seem to have no empathy & compassion for life? This could be a beautiful peaceful world if we did not have such leaders & leadership. 😪😪😪

I watch tons of ww2 footage online....just never imagined we would see refugees fleeing like we did in ww2. Just so sad. Keep Ukrainian soldiers safe please whoever can

[imabeef]

This is sad to witness. Hopefully this nightmare will end for the innocent.

One of the nicest people I've ever met is a lady who works at the local Walmart. She's from Ukraine. This is heartbreaking.

Russia knew that we would come to Ukraines aid. This could very well be the start of something much bigger.

It’s unfortunate and sad to see this happening but I just hope and pray they don’t start sending USA troops because I have family in the military and this is NOT our fight…./

Oh my God...this shouldn't be happening. My heart goes out to all the families in Ukrainians and America
