Russias Full Scale Invasion Of Ukraine Has Entered Its Third Day

Putin Uses Military Force Against Ukraine

Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine has entered its third day

Putin orders Russian military into Ukraine's pro-Moscow regions

Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered his troops to enter separatist-held territory in eastern Ukraine on Monday, after recognizing their independence. The move was widely seen as a pretext for a wider invasion, and it prompted immediate condemnation from the West.

On Thursday, Russian forces launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, attacking the country from multiple directions. The invasion has been met with fierce resistance from Ukrainian forces, but Russian troops have made significant advances in some areas.

The invasion has caused a humanitarian crisis, with hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians fleeing their homes. The United Nations estimates that at least 102 civilians have been killed, but the true number is likely much higher.

The invasion has also been widely condemned by the international community. The United States, the European Union, and other countries have imposed sanctions on Russia, and NATO has deployed additional troops to Eastern Europe.

The long-term consequences of the invasion are unclear. However, it is clear that the conflict will have a profound impact on Ukraine, Russia, and the wider region.

In a speech on Monday, Putin said that Russia's goal was to "demilitarize and denazify" Ukraine. He also claimed that Ukraine was a threat to Russia's security.

However, many observers believe that Putin's real goal is to overthrow the Ukrainian government and install a pro-Russian regime. This would allow Russia to control Ukraine's natural resources and strategic location.

The invasion of Ukraine is a clear violation of international law. It is also a major escalation of the conflict between Russia and the West.

The coming days and weeks will be critical in determining the outcome of the conflict. If Russia is able to overthrow the Ukrainian government, it will be a major victory for Putin. However, if Ukraine is able to resist the invasion, it will be a major setback for Putin and his ambitions.
