Russia-Ukraine live updates: Putin calls sanctions 'akin to a declaration of war'
13 mins ago

Russian forces are continuing their attempted push through Ukraine from multiple directions, while Ukrainians, led by President Volodymr Zelenskyy, are putting up "stiff resistance," according to U.S. officials.

The attack began Feb. 24, when Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a "special military operation."

Russian forces moving from neighboring Belarus toward Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, don't appear to have advanced closer to the city since coming within about 20 miles, although smaller advanced groups have been fighting gun battles with Ukrainian forces inside the capital since at least Friday.

Russia has been met by sanctions from the United States, Canada and countries throughout Europe, targeting the Russian economy as well as Putin himself.

On a lighter side;

Vladimir Putin, wanting to get on the good side of voters, goes to visit a school in Moscow to have a chat with the kids. He talks to them about how Russia is a powerful nation and how he wants the best for the people. At the end of the talk, there is some time for questions. Little Sonya puts her hand up and says "I have two questions: Why did the Russians take Crimea? And why are we sending troops to the Ukraine?" Putin says "Good questions..." But just as he is about to answer, the bell goes, and the kids go for lunch. When they come back, they sit back down and there is room for some more questions so another girl, Misha, puts her hand up and says, "I have four questions.
Why did the Russians invade Crimea?
Why are we sending troops to Ukraine?
Why did the bell go 20 minutes early for lunch?
And where is Sonya?"
