Cities across the planet lit their buildings and monuments blue and yellow — the colors of Ukraine’s flag — as the Eastern European nation endures an invasion from neighboring Russia. As The Daily Wire reported, Russian forces entered Ukraine early on Thursday, immediately destroying several dozen military bases. The Ukrainian government claimed that Russia in turn suffered 3,000 troop casualties and lost 516 military vehicles. As events unfolded, photos and videos of the invasion’s effects on Ukrainians made international news. Many residents are taking shelter as Russian forces attack Ukraine’s major cities, while foreigners remain stranded in the country. On Thursday evening, cities expressed their support for the people of Ukraine by lighting their skyscrapers and monuments according to the colors of Ukraine’s flag. 10 Downing Street, the headquarters of the United Kingdom’s government in London, England: ????| Downing Street has been lit up with the colours of Ukraine’s flag tonight pic.twitter.com/1bf44eDP26 Politics For The UK ????????????
