Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky says that Russia is attacking his country’s “military infrastructure” and border guards, but urges citizens not to panic and vowed victory.

In a video message posted on Facebook after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the launch of a military operation against Ukraine, Zelensky also introduces martial law across the country, adding that he has spoken by phone with US President Joe Biden.
