One year ago, Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a military operation in Ukraine which started a war between the two countries. FROM THE ARCHIVES:
Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a military operation in Ukraine on Thursday with explosions heard across the country and its foreign minister warning a "full-scale invasion" was underway.
"This is a war of aggression. Ukraine will defend itself and will win. The world can and must stop Putin. The time to act is now." Biden condemned the "unprovoked and unjustified attack by Russian military forces," and urged world leaders to speak out against Putin's "flagrant aggression.""President Putin has chosen a premeditated war that will bring a catastrophic loss of life and human suffering," he said in a statement.
The United Nations Security Council had met late Wednesday for its second emergency session in three days over the crisis, with a personal plea there by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres coinciding with Putin's announcement."In the name of humanity, do not allow to start in Europe what could be the worst war since the beginning of the century."
