LIVE updates on the Russia-Ukraine conflict: Ukraine is preventing a force from entering Europe tomorrow, according to the first lady.

On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin started a’special military operation’ in Ukraine. Three rounds of discussions have taken place between the two countries, but none of them have succeeded in resolving the situation. In Ukraine, Russia has declared a ‘humanitarian ceasefire’ for Wednesday morning to allow for the safe evacuation of civilians. “This is a war in Europe, close to the EU borders,” Ukraine’s first lady warned Europe. In Irpin, Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine, a satellite picture shows a destroyed bridge and craters in a field.

“I testify and tell the world: the war in Ukraine is not a war “somewhere out there.” This is a war in Europe, close to the EU borders. Ukraine is stopping the force that may aggressively enter your cities tomorrow under the pretext of saving civilians. (sic),” Ukraine’s first lady Olena Zelenska has said in a statement in a warning for Europe.
