Back by popular demand, this megathread will serve as a general discussion spot for all news relating to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Last week, Russia invaded Ukraine and there remains widespread fighting across the country.

Russia is intent on capturing Kyiv, with many experts saying their goal is to insert a puppet government. Ukraine is putting up a fierce fight, with civilians resisting throughout the country.

More than 1 million Ukrainians have fled the country, leading to a humanitarian crisis. Ukraine's President Zelensky remains in Kyiv despite Russian disinformation to the contrary, and he says he will stay and fight alongside his people.

Meanwhile, the rest of the world continues to react to the invasion levying strong sanctions against Russia and restricting trade and air space. Russia's ruble has fallen dramatically, with the Russian government taking drastic steps to try to save the country's economy. Ukraine has applied for EU membership, which is now being considered. Additionally, Ukraine has filed claims with the Hague alleging war crimes by Russia.

This is not a full update on the current status of the war, so if you want to get caught up on all of the developments, please check out the amazing live feed that the /r/worldnews mod team is running.
