Russia attacked Ukraine earlier today. Russia sent airstrikes on cities and military bases in Ukraine, and it sent in troops and tanks from three sides. Ukraine is a country in Europe. The Ukraine-Russia situation has been going on for the past few weeks, and it was all over the news. The problem was that Russia was building up forces on the Ukrainian border, and both sides were arguing. Well now, Russia finally attacked Ukraine, and Ukraine stands no chance against Russia, one of the world’s main superpowers. Ukraine will need help from NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) to fight off this invasion. NATO includes countries like the US, UK, Germany, and France. Russian president Vladimir Putin has said there will be extreme consequences for countries that try to interfere. Russia has been getting tons of sanctions from other countries lately, and Putin ignored that. Sanctions are like a ban on trade with the country. It will be interesting to see what happens next.
