“Dear Ukrainian citizens, this morning President Putin announced a special military operation in Donbas. Russia conducted strikes on our military infrastructure and our border guards. There were blasts heard in many cities of Ukraine,” he said.
Zelensky said he had just spoken by telephone with U.S. President Joe Biden, and the United States has “already started uniting international support” for Ukraine.
“Stay at home if you can. We are working. The army is working. The whole sector of defense and security is working,” he advised his citizens.
