On February 24th, 2022 the Russian Federation had invaded Ukraine. It was talked about for a long time but people stopped talking about it. So, what’s going on? Well it seems like there’s a lot of updates. So what are some of them..?
One of the recent updates is that a barrage of Russian missiles had hit cities across Ukraine, which had knocked out power. It has been said that Ukraine’s leader (Volodymyr Zelenskyy) had said that there were at least 85. Ukraine was able to shoot down some of the incoming missiles, but some were still able to reach their targets.

Another recent update is that Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy had presented a 10-point peace plan to end Russia’s invasion on Ukraine. According to the transcript of the speech the steps were nuclear safety, food security, a special tribunal for alleged Russian war crimes, and a final peace treaty of Moscow. All of this was according to the transcript of the speech.
Something else about the Russian missiles is that one of them had made it to Ukraine. Two people had been killed. It had landed about four miles from the Ukraine border. Russia hadn’t originally wanted the missile to land in Poland, but it still did. This had most likely happened when Ukraine was trying to protect their country after Russia and sent a barrage of missiles. "I haven't been keeping up with the war lately," says Dorothy Hamilton, a 6th grader at EJHS. "I learned from what people have told me, Hamilton says.
