What’s going on
February 25th
• The invasion of Ukraine continues, with Russian forces reportedly attacking Kyiv and other cities with missiles. Several news outlets, including the Guardian, New York Times and Agence France-Presse, have confirmed hearing explosions in the capital. • Speaking to the nation, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy confirmed 137 civilian and military fatalities so far. • Meanwhile in Russia, thousands of people have taken to the streets to protest the war, primarily in Moscow and St. Petersburg. The police made dozens of arrests.

February 24th
• Earlier this morning, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, attacking military hubs and several major cities, including the capital Kyiv. There are dozens of fatalities already, according to Ukraine. • Images from Kyiv show some people fleeing the city via train or car, while others continue their daily lives. Many have sought refuge in basements, metro stations or bomb shelters. • One Kyiv-based nightlife worker told Resident Advisor that they were driving west to another city with their child, cat and friends. Their plan is to try and get to Berlin and stay “for a while.” All their club-related work has been put on hold.

Restrictions
February 25th
• Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky has ordered a full military mobilisation, which will last 90 days. This includes banning men aged between 18 and 60 from leaving the country. • In Kyiv, a curfew is now in place, restricting citizens from leaving their homes between 10 PM and 7 AM. Public transport, which is now free, won’t run during that time, though the bomb shelters will stay open.

February 24th
• Yesterday, February 23rd, Ukraine declared a 30-day state of emergency, effective as of midnight today. This bans protests and strikes and gives the government special powers to impose curfews and restrictions on movement, among other things. • Earlier this morning, Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, introduced martial law nationwide, though he didn’t specify any restrictions. He urged people to remain calm and stay at home, if possible. • In the capital, Kyiv, which was attacked overnight, martial law means schools are closed and anyone who isn’t a key worker should stay at home or seek shelter underground. • Ukraine has closed its airspace to civilian flights.
