Russia & Ukraine problem
On February 24, 2022, due to previously unsolved problems between Russia and Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a military operation in Ukraine by the Russian Armed Forces that had previously been concentrated along the border.
This was followed by air strikes targeting military buildings in the country, as well as the entry of tanks across the border.. Air raid sirens have been heard across Ukraine and Ukraine’s ICT infrastructure has already deteriorated as a result of cyber-attacks and Russian bombing.
Many Ukrainian cities or buildings were occupied, including the Chornobyl nuclear plant.
