The Government of Ghana has asked Ghanaian students in Ukraine to seek refuge in their homes and in government places as they engage the relevant authorities to take further action.
This statement by the government of Ghana comes after reports of attacks on Ukrainian military infrastructure across Ukraine, and Russian convoys entering from all directions went viral.
The attack by Russia comes after months of tension between the two countries while diplomatic efforts to resolve the problem have been futile.
Atinka News’ source in Ukraine says that they heard strong blasts in the capital Kiev, as well as Kramatorsk in the Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine.
They also confirmed that there have been blasts in the southern port city of Odesa.
