Russia has initiated an attack on Ukraine’s eastern Donbas region, according to Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Moscow launched rocket and artillery attacks on cities, and Mr Zelensky stated in a video address that the “war for the Donbas has begun.”

Russia attempted to break through Ukrainian front lines in the region, according to Ukraine’s top security official, Oleksiy Danilov.

After Russia’s failure to conquer Kyiv, the offensive had been expected for a long time.

Russia looked to want to take over key Ukrainian cities and overthrow the government at first.

However, after encountering stiff resistance, Russian defense officials stated that the “first stage of the operation’s” principal objectives had been “largely accomplished” and that Russian forces had been relocated from areas around the city.

They announced plans to redirect the focus of the invasion towards the “liberation” of the Russian speaking Donbas region.
