Many have compared the images to World War II.
Amid Russia's continued assault on Ukraine, heartbreaking pictures are circulating online that really put everything in perspective.
Following Vladimir Putin's TV address on Thursday,
Russian forces entered Ukraine by way of neighbouring countries like Belarus.
While world leaders fumbled over another packet of sanctions, Ukrainian people became more displaced, injured - and in some instances, unfortunately died.

Young Ukrainians, who look to be in some kind of bunker, are heard singing songs of hope as they use their phone torches as if at a concert.
