Here is how twitter is reacting with World War 3 memes
The Russo-Ukrainian War is a long-running conflict that began in February 2014 and is largely fought between Russia and pro-Russian troops on the one side, and Ukraine on the other. The conflict has centered on the international recognition of Crimea and parts of the Donbas as part of Ukraine.
On Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, causing thousands of people to flee for their lives and killing at least 40 Ukrainian soldiers and civilians.
Russian air attacks attacked military facilities around the country, while ground forces rushed in from the north, south, and east, prompting outrage and threats of severe sanctions from Western leaders.
Weeks of frantic diplomacy failed to deter Putin, who had amassed more than 150,000 troops along Ukraine’s borders.
In the early hours of Thursday, Putin announced on television, “I have decided to proceed with a special military operation.”
According to AFP correspondents, the first shelling was heard shortly after in Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital, and numerous other cities.
Twitter and everyone around the globe is now in fear of a full-scale war and some are trending World War 3:
