Russia is attacking Ukraine from every direction. The map published by the BNO some time ago is revealing.
As you can see the Russian military forces have attacked about 30 points in Ukraine. We would remind you that the Russian army is also assisted by the Belarusian forces.

Pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine announced today that they have occupied the cities of Schastia and Stanitsia Luhasnka in Lugansk province, in the eastern part of the country, the RIA agency reported.
Authorities in Kiev have not yet commented on the information.
"We destroyed Ukraine's air defence"
Russia's military announced today that it has destroyed Ukraine's anti-aircraft defence systems and has "shut down" the country's air bases.
"The military infrastructure of the air bases of the Ukrainian armed forces has been shut down," the Russian Defence Ministry pointed out, as reported by Russian news agencies.
"The anti-aircraft defence facilities of the Ukrainian armed forces have been destroyed," he added. It is noted that earlier today Russia announced the launch of a special operation in Donbass.
The Russian Defence Ministry announced that precision weapons were used to neutralize Ukrainian military infrastructure and air forces, underlining that the civilian population is not threatened.
Russia's Defence Ministry also denied information from foreign media that reported the shooting down of a Russian aircraft flying over Ukrainian territory, stressing that they "do not correspond to reality."
