At the same time, Thursday, the UN Security Council was still hoping to guarantee peace, but to no avail.
At 3:48 a.m., Thursday, February 24, Russian television interrupts its programs: Vladimir Putin declares war on Ukraine. “All the responsibility for a possible bloodbath will be entirely on the conscience of the Ukrainian regime”, says the Russian autocrat. At the same time, in New York (United States), the UN Security Council still hopes to guarantee peace, in vain. The Ukrainian ambassador then addresses his Russian counterpart, stating: “There is no purgatory for war criminals.”
At 4:30 a.m., the sound of bombs tears apart the Ukrainian night. The first explosions take place in the East, then 15 minutes later, tanks cross the Belarusian border, in the North, then military trucks in the South, from Crimea.

The Ukrainian president then addresses his people, via social networks. “We are strong, we are ready and we will win”, says Volodymyr Zelensky. In the capital, the siren sounds, while in the West, a missile crashes on an airport, only 150 km from Poland. When the day dawns on Ukraine, a climate of war is back in Europe.
