Ukrainian forces battled Russian invaders on three sides on Thursday after Moscow mounted an assault by land, sea, and air in the biggest attack on a European state since the Second World War, prompting tens of thousands of people to flee their homes.

After Russian President Vladimir Putin declared war in a pre-dawn televised address, explosions and gunfire were heard throughout the morning in Kyiv, a city of three million people.

By nightfall in Ukraine, a picture was emerging of fierce fighting across multiple fronts.
