Russia’s invasion of Ukraine continues after Russian president Vladimir Putin ordered a “special military operation” on its neighbor.
President Joe Biden, in coordination with a number of NATO nations and other allies, have implemented a comprehensive package of devastating sanctions on Russia for its invasion, which sent Russian currency plummeting and isolated the Kremlin from the rest of the world’s economy.
Ukraine’s health minister said Saturday that 198 people, including three children, were killed; More than 1,000 other individuals have been wounded. Ukraine says some 3,500 Russian troops have been killed and 200 have been captured.
Ukraine’s Ministry of Internal Affairs said in a Facebook post Sunday that 352 civilians have been killed since Russia’s invasion of the country began, including 14 children.
