Photos take you inside luxury mansions on sale in Kyiv, Ukraine as war with Russia escalates. Overnight on Thursday, Russian forces attacked Ukraine in what is considered the largest attack on a European state since World War II.
The move took place after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced an official declaration of war, ordering “a special military operation” on Ukraine in a televised address.
Explosions, gunfire, and missiles were heard and seen throughout the morning in the city of Kyiv — home to some 3 million people.
Buildings, homes and several structures in the city were — in a blink of eye — abandoned as Russia plans to overtake the city in the coming days.
The damage thus far has resulted in Russian forces seizing a Chernobyl nuclear plant and airport near Kyiv.
