“Diplomatically, politically, economically — and eventually, militarily — this hideous and barbaric venture of Vladimir Putin must end in failure,” said British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
“Russia has attacked our military infrastructure and our border guards,” explained Ukraine President Zelenskyy. “Explosions were heard in many cities of Ukraine. We introduce martial law throughout the state.”
“China is closely following the latest developments,” Beijing Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said. “We still hope that the parties concerned will not shut the door to peace and engage instead in dialogue and consultation and prevent the situation from further escalating.”
