Russia has invaded Ukraine with an all-out attack from north, south and east taking place simultaneously. Missiles and bombs struck targets from east to west, destroying military bases, airports and ammo dumps.

Attack came on personal order from Vladimir Putin, who announced it to the world in the midst of a UN session convened to try and avert the conflict.
