Russian forces have attacked Ukraine after President Vladimir Putin announced he had authorised a “special military operation” in the country’s east. Explosions also rocked the breakaway eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk and civilian aircraft were warned away, while there were reports of naval landings at Odesa in Mariupol.
Ukraine has imposed a state of emergency and told its citizens in Russia to leave immediately, as Moscow began evacuating its Kyiv embassy in the latest ominous signs of an all-out Russian military onslaught. Shelling intensified on Wednesday at the line of contact in eastern Ukraine, where Russian President Vladimir Putin recognised the independence of two Moscow-backed rebel regions this week and where he has ordered the deployment of Russian troops as “peacekeepers”.

The regions in eastern Ukraine recognised by Russia as independent extend far beyond areas under rebel control. This is creating more uncertainty for those living near the frontline of the country’s long-running separatist conflict. With the Minsk agreement now in tatters – Ukraine has declared Avdiivka and other towns and villages along the frontline, restricted areas. Al Jazeera’s Hoda Abdel-Hamid reports from Avdiivka, one of the frontline towns in eastern Ukraine, where the threat of invasion is now exposing social divides. – Subscribe to our channel: http://aje.io/AJSubscribe – Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AJEnglish – Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aljazeera – Check our website: https://www.aljazeera.com/ #RussiaUkraineTensions #UkraineCrisis #Donetsk
President Vladimir Putin’s request to Russian parliament to send troops abroad. Earlier, the Russians had sent what they call peacekeepers to breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine – which Moscow has now recognised. That prompted a sharp response from the West. Germany has put its gas pipeline project with Russia on hold. And the UK has announced sanctions against five Russian banks and three individuals. – Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AJEnglish/ – Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aljazeera/ – Check our website: https://www.aljazeera.com/ #Russia #Ukraine
Several members of the United Nations Security Council have on Monday condemned Russia’s moves to escalate its crisis with Ukraine.

Ukrainian government soldiers in front-line trenches in Ukraine’s east said on Monday that heavy shelling from Russian-backed separatists had intensified to provoke all-out conflict amid fears of Russia seeking a pretext for a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Ukrainian troops have battled Russian-backed separatists in the Donetsk and Luhansk breakaway regions bordering Russia since 2014. A ceasefire deal in 2015 halted the worst fighting, but shelling has intensified along the “line of contact” since last week as Russia masses forces along Ukraine’s borders.
