The war between Ukraine and Russia, which has been saying "I am coming" for months, officially started with the military operation order of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The Ukraine-Russia crisis, which became complicated with the provocations of the USA, NATO and European countries, has now turned into a hot conflict.
After the Russian President Putin's order to attack the Russian army, the invasion of Ukraine through Belarus officially started. Bombardments were carried out at some strategic points in the capital, Kiev.
While civilian citizens lost their lives in Russia's attacks on Ukraine, tens of thousands of Ukrainians left their homes and began to flee to neighboring countries.
THE USA IS AS YOU KNOW! PROVOKED AND FLED
The United States of America (USA), which has always used small countries in its global competition with Russia, has masterfully implemented its evil plans in Ukraine.
The USA, which has piled up tons of heavy weapons in Ukraine in the last year and provoked Russia and Ukraine to war, has almost withdrawn into its shell after the invasion of Russia.
The USA, which has been preparing the ground for Russia's invasion of Ukraine for months, once again left Ukraine alone.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, "The United States continues to provide humanitarian and security assistance to Ukraine, strengthening and increasing the defenses of its partners in Eastern Europe in response to Russian aggression. But the US is not sending US troops to fight in Ukraine. We do not have a decision on this," she said.
In previous years, the USA had provoked Georgia against Russia in the Ossetian crisis and left Georgia alone after the military occupation of Russia.
The process leading up to the occupation of Ukrainian territory was based on NATO's proposal to include Ukraine in the alliance.
Seeing Ukraine's membership in NATO as a move against its national security, Russia increased its military actions towards Ukraine.
The NATO alliance, which brought Ukraine into the war, left Ukraine alone after Russia's invasion attempt.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg commented on the military invasion of Ukraine, "We will continue to provide strong political support to Ukraine. Allies provide Ukraine with equipment and financial support to help it defend itsel," he said.
THE INVASION OF RUSSIA COME OPENLY
Acting with the dream of re-establishing the "Soviet Union", Russian leader Vladimir Putin continues his invasion moves despite all international reactions and sanctions.
Russia, which annexed the Ukrainian territory of Crimea and included it in its borders in 2014, has recently cut off the cities of Dombass and Lugansk from the Ukrainian territory.
While the impact limit of Putin's operation order remains unknown, it seems obvious that Russia's aggressive and invading policies, which claim sovereignty over Ukraine, pose a great threat to world peace.
AFTER TURKEY'S STATEMENTS, RUSSIA HAS ATTACKED AL-BAB
Russian fighter jets also flew in Syria's Al Bab region, which is controlled by Turkey and the Syrian National Army, last night.
Russian jets, which carried out an air attack on the village of Terhin, caused fear in the region.
It has come to the agenda that this airstrike in Al Bab, which has been turned into a "safe zone", was carried out due to Turkey's statements about the tension between Russia and Ukraine.
MORNING OPERATION ORDER FROM PUTIN
In the early hours of the morning, Russian President Vladimir Putin, "The people of Donbas turned to Russia for help. That's why I ordered a special military operation. The operation aims to protect people who have suffered under the pressure and genocide of the Kiev administration for 8 years. We will cleanse Ukraine of militarism and Nazism. We will bring justice to those who have committed a large number of bloody crimes against civilians, including Russian citizens," he said.
UKRAINE BACKS TWO TOWNS FROM RUSSIAN
After this announcement, rocket attacks began on all military facilities in Ukraine.
Ministry of Defense of Ukraine in the following minutes, "Our troops, command centers and airfields in the east are under heavy artillery attack," it was said.
The Ukrainian army recaptured two towns in the Dombas region from the Russian forces. Russia attacked Ukraine's Odessa region. 18 people lost their lives in this attack. Attacking an apartment in the Kharkov region of Ukraine, Russia caused the death of a child in this attack.
SUPPORT FROM TURKEY TO UKRAINE
Turkey also held a Security Summit after Russia's intervention in Ukraine. The summit, which was held at the Presidential Complex under the chairmanship of President Erdoğan, lasted for 1 hour and 50 minutes. In the statement made after the summit where Russia's intervention in Ukraine was discussed, it was stated that Russia's attack on Ukraine violates international law and is unacceptable, and emphasized that support for Ukraine's political unity, sovereignty and territorial integrity will continue.

PUTIN WILL DECIDE THE TIME
The first statement came from the Kremlin in the afternoon. In the statement, it was said that Putin will decide how long the operation will last.

KARAMOLLAOĞLU: “I CONDEMN THE INVASION ATTEMPT”
Felicity (Saadet) Party Chairman Temel Karamollaoğlu stated that he condemned Russia's attempt to invade Ukraine, which is an independent state.
"I invite Russia to comply with international law as soon as possible. Efforts to resurrect the Soviet Union in the 21st century are a very serious threat to world peace. This attempt is absolutely unacceptable! Our region and the world need peace and tranquility more than ever," he made a call to the parties for common sense and restraint.
NATO: “WE ARE WAITING ON WATCH”
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, "More than a hundred warplanes and more than 120 warships are on the alert. Russia wants to expand its sphere of influence. This is the 'new normal' for our security. We will protect our allies," he said.
CONTRADICTING NEWS COMING FROM THE REGION
