The interior minister of Ukraine has announced that 10,000 automatic rifles have been handed out to civilians in just the last few hours. This moves comes as Russian forces are said to be advancing into the Country.
In the weeks and months prior to the attack, which sadly is just beginning, the Ukrainian government had been arming and training citizens to fight against any possible Russian invasion.
Reports from social media are coming in that talk of death and destruction already occurring in Ukraine. The assault on the country began last night, and the citizens of Ukraine woke up to a completely different world.
