Big explosions were heard in Kyiv and other major cities as Vladimir Putin warned other countries not to interfere or bear the consequences. |
KYIV, Ukraine (AP).— Russia launched a wide-ranging attack on Ukraine on Thursday, hitting cities and bases with airstrikes or shelling, as civilians piled into trains and cars to flee.
