Russia attacks Ukraine – level 1

28-02-2022 07:00

On Thursday, Russian soldiers attack Ukraine. World leaders don’t agree with the attack. They say that a war can start in Europe.

Russia attacks Ukrainian airports and big cities. Hundreds of thousands of people leave Ukraine. They are scared. They travel mainly to Poland and Slovakia. They get clothes and food there. Some people say that 5 million Ukrainians will leave the country.

Western countries must stop Russia. They impose sanctions on Russia. Sanctions hit Russia’s business. Some Russian banks can’t use international payment system. Planes don’t fly to and from Russia. The Russian president Vladimir Putin says that he is ready to use nuclear rockets.

Difficult words: airport (a place where planes take off and land), impose (to make something a rule by force), nuclear rocket (a rocket which is very dangerous, and it can kill many people).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
