And February 24, 2022, the invasion started, 2 million peoples displaced, and the property damages estimated is 119 billion according to Reuters.
Day after day world leaders send the same message to Putin. “Our message to President Putin is clear. Stop this war. Withdraw your forces. And engage in diplomacy” NATO secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said.
Ukraine’s militaries resist against Russian army who come with tanks, aircrafts, and missiles. After taking control over Ukrainian aircraft base, some building and TV antenna been taking down. Russian army is moving forward to Kiev, Capitol of Ukraine leaving behind cities under control. “What we see, the pictures, the reports we see coming out from Ukraine, is painful, it’s heinous, the violence” Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg declared.
The invasion still moving forward while a dialogue has been started between Russia and Ukraine’s leaders. Simultaneously world leaders, and worlds organization announced more sanctions against Russia and his governments.
Any military action hadn’t been decided to engage by NATO leaders so far. World leaders as France president Emmanuel Macron or United States president Joe Biden don’t want to escalate to nuclear war so they claimed that Russia withdraw his army from Ukraine. “NATO has a responsibility to ensure that this conflict does not escalate beyond Ukraine. Because this would be even more dangerous, destructive, and deadly. For Ukraine, and for all of us” Jens Stoltenberg explained.
