In this video we looks that the 5 most important updates on the Russian Invasion of Ukraine over the past several days.

The first key event was on Sunday, February 27th, Putin had put Russia's nuclear deterrence forces on high alert. However, analysts have suggested his actions should be interpreted as a warning to other countries not to escalate their involvement in Ukraine, rather than an actual intention to use nuclear weapons. Next we look at how Moscow's forces have made major advances in border regions in the north, east and south of the country, but faced slower progress than expected toward the capital, Kyiv. A 40-mile long Russian convoy of tanks, armored vehicles and towed artillery are heading toward the Ukrainian capital, according to satellite images. Then we look at events that have happened in Kharkiv which is the 2nd largest city in Ukraine and has been one of the main cities hit by rocket strikes by Russian forces resulting in at least 10 civilian casualties and 35 injured. Then we look at the additional sanctions that continue to be enforced on Russia by the U.S., U.k., European Union, and several Asian countries as well. The main development is banning airspace for Russian airlines in several countries and also removing Russian banks from SWIFT last Saturday. Lastly, we look at the latest number of Refugees to have fled Ukraine is upward of 677,000, with 150,000 in just the last day. The UN estimates that 12 million people inside Ukraine will need relief and protection, while more than 4 million Ukrainian refugees may need protection and assistance in neighboring countries in the coming months. There are many charitable organizations that help refugees. I have verified that the International Rescue Committee (IRC) is mobilizing resources to aid the people in Ukraine who were forced to flee their homes.
