What we're covering

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a military operation in Ukraine early Thursday.

The assault began hours before dawn with a series of missile attacks against locations near the capital Kyiv, as well as the use of long-range artillery against the city of Kharkiv, near the Russian border.

It quickly spread across central and eastern Ukraine as Russian forces attacked the country from three sides.

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock on Thursday said the European Union is set to unleash "the full packet of sanctions" against Russia, adding that the world must respond resolutely to the invasion of Ukraine, or run the risk of paying an even higher price.

We woke up in a different world today," Baerbock told reporters at a news conference in Berlin, adding "we will launch the full package of massive sanctions against Russia."

"If we do not take a firm stance now, we will pay an even higher price," Baerbock continued.

Baerbock noted that Russia had "rejected our offers of talks." She also appealed directly to Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying: "You will never destroy the dream of democracy" and said Ukraine had "done nothing wrong" to merit Russia's invasion.

The foreign minister called again on German citizens to leave Ukraine immediately, adding that if they cannot leave the country safely, they should stay in a safe place. Baerbock said that German embassies in neighboring countries will be present on the borders to provide help to EU citizens.

Germany will decide shortly if the country's embassy can continue its operation from Lviv, Baerbock concluded.

US President Joe Biden was working the phones with top national security officials in the moments before and after his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin announced he was launching a military intervention in Ukraine, the grim fulfillment of Biden's predictions stretching back weeks.

National security aides had already been huddling in the West Wing on Wednesday evening, preparing for what US officials had warned was a looming assault on Ukraine, when Putin's speech began airing on Russian television around 9:45 p.m. ET.

Appearing before dawn in Russia, the speech came as a surprise.

At the United Nations, Ambassador Linda Thomas Greenfield had spoken by phone to Biden in the moments prior to her remarks at an emergency session of the Security Council. He asked her "to convey in the strongest possible terms his -- and our -- steadfast support for Ukraine," she said around 9:45 p.m. ET -- almost exactly the same time as Putin's address.

Her speech didn't reflect the major development that Putin had officially announced the invasion. Photos from the room show her texting with the Ukrainian delegate, saying she "wished I had the news before I ended my remarks."

At the White House, Biden convened a secure phone call with top military brass Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan.

Just past 10 p.m. ET, activity in the West Wing briefly came to a halt as televisions tuned to CNN showed teams reporting hearing explosions in Kyiv and Kharkiv, hurriedly donning their protective gear and helmets.

In their offices, Sullivan and other aides worked on drafting Biden's initial statement declaring Russia's actions "unprovoked and unjustified" and vowing "the world will hold Russia accountable." Biden's statement came through at 10:25 p.m. ET.

Roughly an hour later, a request came in from Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky to speak with Biden, who was eager to get him on the phone. Earlier in the day, officials took note of Zelensky's public concerns, including declaring a state of emergency and mobilizing military reservists, believing it was first time he had conveyed publicly the concerns they have discussed privately for weeks.

On their call, which lasted approximately 10 minutes, Zelensky asked Biden to "call on the leaders of the world to speak out clearly against President Putin's flagrant aggression, and to stand with the people of Ukraine."

As Biden was speaking to Zelensky, his aides were also on the phone to Europe as they prepared to announce what one official described as the "full scale" of sanctions, which could include export controls, restrictions on large banks and blocks on members of Putin's inner circle.

Biden starts Thursday with additional briefings before attending a virtual session of the G7, where the sanctions will be discussed among the world's leading industrialized nations.

And at noon, Biden will speak to the American people from the White House.

EU leader promises "harshest ever sanctions" against Russia in response to "barbaric attack"

European Union Commission President Ursula von der Leyen promised to "weaken Russia's economic base and its capacity to modernize" following the "barbaric attack" by Moscow against Ukraine.

We will freeze Russian assets in the European Union and stop the access of Russian banks to European financial markets," Von der Leyen told reporters on Thursday.

"We condemn this barbaric attack and the cynical arguments that are being used to justify it."

"Harshest" sanctions: Von der Leyen said she will present "massive and strategic" sanctions against Russia for approval later today.

"These sanctions are designed to take a heavy toll on the Kremlin's interests and their ability to finance war. And we know that millions of Russians do not want war," she said.

"We will not allow President [Vladimir] Putin to replace the rule of law, by the rule of force, and ruthlessness," she said, "Ukraine will prevail."

Speaking alongside Von der Leyen, EU High Representative Josep Borrell said punitive measures from the 27-member bloc against Russia would be "the harshest packet of sanctions that has ever been implemented."

The General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces says it has shot down a sixth Russian plane, this time in the Kramatorsk area.

The update follows a claim earlier Thursday that it had shot down five aircraft and a helicopter as Russian forces attacked Ukraine.

In response, the Russian military earlier denied the claims, according to state news agency TASS.

Long lines of cars in Kyiv heading out of Ukrainian capital

Photos from the Ukrainian capital Kyiv are emerging of long lines of cars heading out of the city after Russia's attack early Thursday morning. Heavy traffic appears to be all moving west, away from where explosions were heard this morning, with few cars going east.

Earlier Thursday morning, CNN reporters heard explosions coming from the east of the city, in the direction of Boryspil International Airport.

Explosions have also been reported in other parts of Ukraine including Kharkiv and the port city Odessa.

Russia on a "path of evil," says Ukraine PM Zelensky

Russia has attacked Ukraine in a "cunning way," acting much the same as Hitler did in the Second World War, Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky said in a televised address Thursday as Russian forces enter the country from three sides.

Russia is on a "path of evil," Prime Minister Zelensky said.

He called for "everyone who is able" to join the military to do so and called on all veterans to come forward.

Zelensky added that the Ukrainian military are engaged in "heavy fighting fending off attacks in Donbas in the east in the north and in the south."

"The enemy has sustained heavy casualties and they will be even heavier ... they came to our land," he warned.

NATO member states Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have triggered NATO Article 4 to launch consultations within the alliance over Russia's attack on Ukraine.

"The Parties will consult together whenever, in the opinion of any of them, the territorial integrity, political independence or security of any of the Parties is threatened," Article 4 of The North Atlantic Treaty says.

According to the NATO website, consultation under Article 4 can lead to collective action among the 30 member states.

The website says Article 4 has been invoked six times previously since the alliance formed in 1949, most recently by Turkey in February 2020 after dozens of Turkish soldiers were killed by an attack by Syrian government forces in opposition-held areas of northern Syria.

Turkey has invoked Article 4 on four other occasions: once in 2015 to inform the alliance of its response to terrorist attacks in the country; twice in 2012 after a Turkish warplane was shot down in northern Syria and after Turkish civilians were killed by Syrian shelling; and in 2003 when it asked for alliance help to protect its population from any spillover from the war in neighboring Iraq.

On two of those occasions, NATO responded with military aid, sending Patriot missile batteries to protect against Syrian attacks in 2012 and sending aircraft and missile batteries to southeastern Turkey along the border with Iraq in 2003.

Poland invoked Article 4 in 2014 after previous Russian aggression in Ukraine, a meeting that resulted in further alliance efforts to stand together against any threats.

Article 4 is separate from Article 5, which is the alliance's declaration that an attack against one member is considered an attack against all.

Before the crack of dawn, just before explosions began in cities across Ukraine, Russian state television unexpectedly broadcast an address by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The two self-proclaimed "people's republics" of Donetsk and Luhansk, in the breakaway Ukrainian region of Donbas, which he had officially recognized as independent less than two days before, had "turned to Russia with a request for help," he said. To answer that call he was launching a "special military operation." Its purpose: to "demilitarize" and "denazifiy" Ukraine.

Within minutes, Russian missiles began hitting targets in Ukraine. "Our actions are self-defense against threats," he told his fellow Russians, claiming Moscow had no plans to occupy Ukraine. "We do not plan to impose ourselves on anyone," he insisted.

Putin described the "special military operation" in limited terms, to protect people living in Donbas who, he claimed, had been subjected to "genocide," a charge that Ukraine has strenuously denied. But in the next breath, he lashed out more broadly: "NATO supports Ukrainian neo-Nazis ... our actions are self-defense against threats."

Then, in an extraordinary passage, he spoke directly to members of Ukraine's military, at that very moment in the crosshairs of the Russian military. Addressing them as "dear comrades," he told them they had taken an "oath of allegiance to the Ukrainian people, and not to the anti-people junta that is robbing Ukraine and abuses those same people."

"Don't follow its criminal orders!" he demanded. "I urge you to lay down your weapons and go home."

As he has done so many times before, Putin claimed Russia had no choice but to defend itself. With a hard-edged tone in his voice, he seemed to threaten the US, Europe and NATO which, in just a few minutes, would witness his armed forces opening fire on Ukraine, something the Kremlin had consistently dismissed as western "hysterics."

"Whoever tries to interfere with us, and even more so, to create threats for our country, for our people, should know that Russia's response will be immediate and will lead you to such consequences that you have never experienced in your history.

"We are ready for any development of events. All necessary decisions in this regard have been made."

Putin, who for years had criticized the West for ignoring his complaints about NATO's expansion toward Russia's borders, was finally striking back with fury. "I hope," he concluded his short address, "that I have been heard."

Summary:
Apparently, Uk will block Russian banks and oligarchs because of Russia invades Ukraine

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
By Alex Therrien
BBC News

Major Russian banks will be excluded from the UK financial system and oligarchs have been targeted in new sanctions announced by Boris Johnson.

The prime minister told the House of Commons they were "the largest and most severe package of economic sanctions that Russia has ever seen".

Russia's national airline Aeroflot will also be banned from landing in the UK.

It follows Moscow's invasion of Ukraine which began with air strikes in the early hours of Thursday morning.

Mr Johnson told MPs that Russian President Vladimir Putin was a "bloodstained aggressor" who would "stand condemned in the eyes of the world and of history" for invading Ukraine.

Announcing the measures, the prime minister said the UK and its allies had "tried every avenue for diplomacy until the final hour", but he believed Mr Putin had always been determined to attack Ukraine.

Mr Johnson said the G7 group of world leaders had agreed to work in unity to "maximise the economic price that Putin will pay for his aggression".

He also confirmed that sanctions would be applied to Belarus for its role in the assault on Ukraine.

Sanctions announced by the prime minister include:

All major Russian banks will have their assets frozen and will be excluded from the UK financial system. This will stop them from accessing sterling and clearing payments through the UK. This includes a full and immediate freeze of VTB bank

Legislation will stop major Russian companies and the state from raising finance or borrowing money on UK markets

Asset freezes will be put on 100 new individuals or entities

Aeroflot will be banned from landing in the UK

There will be a suspension of dual-use export licences to cover components which can be used for military purposes

Within days the UK will stop exports of high-tech items and oil refinery equipment

There will be a limit on deposits Russians can make in UK bank accounts

He says there is potential to cut Russia out from the Swift international payment system and "nothing is off the table"

Similar financial sanctions will be extended to Belarus for its role in the assault on Ukraine

The UK will bring forward parts of the Economic Crime Bill before the Easter recess

Mr Johnson said the UK and its allies' mission was to ensure through diplomatic, economic, and eventually military means that the "hideous and barbarous venture of Mr Putin" ended in failure.

Those being targeted by sanctions include five people deemed to be part of Mr Putin's "inner circle", the Foreign Office said in a statement issued after Mr Johnson's announcement.

These include Mr Putin's ex-son in law Kirill Shamalov who was previously married to his daughter Katarina and is Russia's youngest billionaire.

Other targets include Petr Fradkov, head of the recently sanctioned Promsvyazbank and son of the former head of Russian Foreign Intelligence.

Businesses targeted include Rostec, Russia's biggest defence company, Tactical Missile Corporation, Russia's leading supplier of air and sea missiles, and Uralvagonzavod, one of the world's largest tank manufacturers, the Foreign Office said.

It also said it was moving to cut off wealthy Russians' access to UK banks, including a £50,000 limit on bank deposits.

Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said the UK would "not rest until Russia's economy has been degraded and Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity restored".

However, Russia has not been banned from the Swift global inter-bank payments system, as Ukraine's foreign minister has urged countries to do.

The new measures expand the sanctions that were announced by the UK government on Tuesday, which included targeting high-net worth individuals and Russian politicians who voted to declare Donetsk and Luhansk independent.

A number of MPs and defence experts said those measures had not gone far enough.

There was plenty of criticism that Western sanctions in the days leading up to this invasion did not go far enough, fast enough.

These new measures will hit the Russian economy much harder. But there are still potential gaps. The prime minister said sanctions will take place against major Russian banks. But one, Sberbank, was not mentioned.

And the Ukrainian government wanted more - in particular moves to disconnect Russia from the international payment system known as Swift. The US and the UK back such a move, but some European countries fear it could damage their own banks.

Suspending Russia from Swift is still under consideration, but the hesitation is a reminder that in a globalised world all sanctions tend to have an impact on the countries imposing them as well

And the real trouble with sanctions is they don't work quickly. They do increase pressure, and they can do damage.

But the international community is not trying to damage the Russian economy just for the sake of it. It wants economic pressure to force a change in President Putin's political and military calculations.

Meanwhile, the invasion of Ukraine continues.

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said he welcomed the sanctions outlined by Mr Johnson, and pledged opposition support for further measures.

But he said there were changes that must be made in the UK.

"For too long our country has been a safe haven for money Putin and his fellow bandits stole from the Russian people" he said.

Conservative former Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said that while sanctions are "extremely welcome" they should not only be economic and called for a "fundamental review of our military capability".

Conservative MP Tom Tugendhat, who chairs the Foreign Affairs Committee, urged Mr Johnson to take action against those "enabling Putin's economy" - including individuals who sit on the boards of the businesses which finance the Russian president's regime.

Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey said the West "cannot be complacent any longer" and called for a reversal of proposed troop cuts to the Army.

SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford called for the "complete economic isolation of Russia", including "clearing up the sewer of dirty Russian money" in London and suspending Russia from the Swift payment system.

On Thursday morning Russian forces launched an assault on Ukraine, crossing its borders and bombing military targets near big cities.

Russian military vehicles are reported to have breached Ukraine's border in a number of places, in the north, south and east, including from Belarus.

Ukraine has announced martial law across the country, meaning the military has taken control temporarily.

Traffic jams have built up as people attempt to flee the capital Kyiv.

Meanwhile, the Home Office has said it will allow some Ukrainian nationals in the UK to extend their visas.

Those eligible for points-based work visas will be allowed to extend their stay or to switch from visitor visas and seasonal agricultural workers will have their visas automatically extended until the end of 2022.

Leonardo DiCaprio posts Instagram story about oil spill in Peru | News | ANDINA - Peru News Agency

In recent times, the worst ecological disaster ocurred in Lima. Apparently, 6000 barrel of oil were spilled in the sea.

After this, Leonardo DiCaprio, a famous actor and a environmental activist, posted a story on his instagram account.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
"Drone footage showed black sludge covering Peru's golden beach following an oil spill on January 16 caused by Tonga's volcanic eruption. The sludge, from a discharge ship rocked by unusually high waves, contaminated at least 1.2 miles along the coast and two beaches," he expressed.

The story published by the Messenger of Peace with a special focus on climate change ahead of the 2014 Climate Summit lasts 37 seconds. It has already exceeded 902,000 views since its publication last Thursday.

Leonardo DiCaprio, an Academy Award winner, has been an outspoken advocate for environmental issues throughout much of his career.

In 1998, at the age of 24, DiCaprio established his foundation with the mission of protecting the Earth's last wild places and implementing solutions to build a more harmonious relationship between humanity and the natural world, the United Nations explained.

Through grantmaking, public campaigns, and media projects, he has worked to bring attention and funding to the protection of biodiversity, ocean and forest conservation, and climate change.

In 2021, DiCaprio announced a US$43 million pledge to enact sweeping conservation operations across the Galapagos Islands, with his social media accounts taken over by a wildlife veterinarian and island restoration specialist, according to The Guardian.

Apparently, a peruvian family in our country bought an animal for $13 thinking it was a dog. Amazingly they realised they had an Andean fox on their hands. Fortunately, The National Forest and Wildlife Service in Peru captured Run Run to take him to his natural habitat.

Talk about a leap of faith.

When skydiver Luke Aikins jumped out of an airplane from 25,000 feet on Saturday night, he attempted a jump was unlike any other before it: He didn't have the aid of a parachute or wingsuit to guide his fall.

Crazy? Yes. But it also set a record, as Aikins became the first skydiver to make a leap from that high without a chute.

"Whenever people attempt to push the limits of what's considered humanly possible, they're invariably described as crazy," Aikins told CNN. "But to me, this jump is simply the next logical step in a lifetime of extreme challenges."

The only thing standing between life and death for Aikins was a 100′-by-100′ safety net on the ground-and he had to land on it perfectly to survive the jump.

Aikins was joined on his freefall by three other skydivers, but they all deployed their parachutes 3,000 feet, leaving the 42-year-old to stick the landing alone. Just before hitting the net, Aikins rolled onto his back midair to ensure he'd land safely in the right position.

The crowd in California's Simi Valley down on the ground exploded in applause after Aikins landed on the net. Although he laid motionless for a few moments after the jump, Aikins was able to hop up once he was lowered to the ground, officially finishing the record-setting attempt.

Aikins, who hit speeds over 150 mph during his jump, looked like he had a blast on his way down.

But for everyone else: Don't try this at home.
