Russia-Ukraine crisis: What is martial law?

As Russian troops attacked Ukraine, world leaders reacted Thursday with outrage — one called it an unjustified barbarian act — and vowed to both tighten sanctions and hold the Kremlin accountable. The turmoil from the beginning of a long-feared act of aggression rippled from Europe to Asia. Stock markets plunged, oil prices surged, and European aviation officials warned of high risk to civilian aircraft over Ukraine, reminding air operators that this is now an active conflict zone.

Putin, who said that rebels in eastern Ukraine had asked Moscow for military assistance, warned other countries that any effort to interfere with the Russian operation would lead to “consequences they have never seen.”,Also Read | NATO ambassadors to meet to discuss Ukraine crisis,As leaders across Asia and Europe scrambled to condemn the attack, explosions were heard in Kyiv and other cities in Ukraine.
