WAR!

War has broken out as Russian forces reportedly storm Ukraine’s capitol city, Kyiv.

Bing’s US homepage minced no words, describing the Russian attack on Ukraine as an invasion.

In historical context, this is a fairly large event, and could quickly lead to a broader war in Europe if not checked in the days ahead. TV reports showed people in the capitol forming long lines to withdraw cash from ATMs, as well as those with suitcases packed preparing to leave town as shelling possibly intensifies.

The death toll between Russian military and Ukrainian security forces is already believed to be in the low thousands, and climbing rapidly.

The UK and United States are likely considering limited nuclear retaliation, in addition to lesser options on the table, such as removing Russia from the SWIFT interbank system.

This is a developing story, and more information will be added as it becomes available.
