In the weeks and months prior to the attack, which sadly is just beginning, the Ukrainian government had been arming and training citizens to fight against any possible Russian invasion.
Reports from social media are coming in that talk of death and destruction already occurring in Ukraine. The assault on the country began last night, and the citizens of Ukraine woke up to a completely different world.
