Russian forces attacked Ukraine through air, land, and by sea on Thursday in the biggest offensive by one nation against another across Europe in the years since World War Two. 

The conflict began with Russian president Vladimir Putin announcing a military operation in Ukraine to defend separatists within Ukraine’s Donbas area of Ukraine. It’s located in eastern Ukraine.

In an announcement that caused shockwaves across the globe, Putin said, “I have decided to conduct an operation of military nature.” 

This confirmed the worst Western worries and has triggered fears of a massive influx of refugees fleeing Ukraine, which has 44 million citizens. 

In the meantime, central European nations geared up on Thursday in anticipation of the possible arrival of Russian refugees fleeing its war on Ukraine, with Poland opening reception points at its border and Hungary and Slovakia planning to send troops to help manage the expected flow. 

The countries along the European Eastern flank of NATO were previously part of the Russian-led Warsaw Pact and are now part of NATO. Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, and Romania each share border with Ukraine.
