After a long time of tension, Russia made the feared move and started the operation by entering into the borders of Ukraine with the order of President Vladimir Putin. While it was reported that the Russian force arrived near the capital Kiev, less than 24 hours after the start of the operation, the images from the region were engraved in history.
Although the war has not caused widespread destruction for now, it has already caused the death of dozens of soldiers from both sides, the death and injury of civilians, the cessation of life in the country and fear. Images from Ukraine have already shown the effects of this war, which seems to have just begun.
