- In a televised speech at 5:55 Moscow time, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a military operation in the eastern Donbas. He described the operation as an act of self-defense and called on Ukrainian soldiers to lay down their arms. The aim, he said, is not the occupation of Ukraine, but its 'demilitarisation and denationalisation'. He also threatened an immediate reaction in the event of foreign intervention against Russia.
- Ukraine said there have been missile attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure. Ukraine claims to have shot down 5 Russian planes and one helicopter, Russia denies this claim. Targets in the area of the cities of Ivano-Frankivsk, Kyiv, Kharkiv were hit, Kramatorsk, Dnipro, Odesa, Mariupol.

- Convoys of Russian troops entered Ukrainian territory from several directions - from Belarus north of Kiev, from Crimea in the south, and through the separatist republics of Luhansk and Donetsk.
- Civilians leave Kiev, large traffic jams and queues at ATMs form
- Ukraine declares martial law, closes airspace to civilian flights
- Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba called for devastating sanctions against Russia, including disconnection from the SWIFT interbank system.
- Oil jumped to more than $100 a barrel in response to the conflict, the first time in seven years. The Russian currency, like many stock market indices around the world, is falling.
- U.S. President Joe Biden has let it be known that this war will bring catastrophic casualties (it is not clear whether directly in the conflict between Ukraine and Russia or by involving other countries?) The UK's Boris Johnson called it an unprovoked attack and promised tough sanctions. A number of other European politicians, including EU and Czech officials, have condemned Russian aggression and also mentioned tougher sanctions. But Europe is largely dependent on mineral resources from Russia.
- It is absurd, among other things, that Russia is currently holding the presidency of the UN Security Council

A Ukrainian military aircraft An-26 crashed near Kiev between the villages of Zhukivtsi and Trypilljav in the Obukhov district. Five people, out of fourteen present on board, did not survive. The machine was probably shot down by Russian forces.
This is likely the result of the hit documented in this video:

They have been fighting in the vicinity of Kharkov since the morning, where, according to information from the Ukrainian General Staff, the defenders destroyed 4 attack tanks. The locals also put footage of the equipment destroyed on the city bypass on the Internet (attention - the footage does NOT destroy the tanks):
In the fighting on the approaches to the city Sumy the defenders report at least 15 destroyed Russian tanks T-72 using PTRS [url]=/topic/view/27073] Javelin[/url] and one tank using PTRS Saab NLAW. Local sources say that Russian technology, despite the resistance of Ukrainian forces, entered the city center shortly after 5:00 pm, but is still fighting in the suburbs.
In the afternoon, Russian troops also entered a special zone around the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. Units of the Ukrainian National Guard, which guard the area where radioactive waste is stored, are defending themselves.

Video zachycující útok posádky bitevního vrtulníku Kamov Ka-52 na letiště Hostomel, kde je vidět, že dráha byla zatarasena několika vozidly, což zapříčinilo nemožnost jejich využití ruskými Iljušiny Il-76. Ke konci videa je vrtulník zasažen a posádka úspěšně přistává na poli a stroj opouští (zřejmě pak byla zajata).
