Feb. 25, 2022 | The Ukrainian government calls on citizens to defend Kyiv as Russian troops close in on the capital. Canada announces sanctions on Russian President Vladimir Putin and his inner circle. Plus, Poland prepares to receive a wave of refugees.
UPDATE Feb. 28, 2022: While the exchange between Ukrainian border guards and Russian forces detailed in this report at 9:23 is not under dispute, there is now a report that the Ukrainian guards may be alive, contradicting the earlier claim by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The State Border Guard Service of Ukraine said in a statement the fate of the guards is unclear after Russian media reported that they were taken as prisoners.
