Ukraine War: What weapons are being used in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine?

During the first week of war, Russia shifted from strategic strikes against military targets using cruise missiles to a stalled ground attack and, currently, a broader siege of major cities, including bombardments using rocket artillery and cluster munitions.

New Delhi: Russia's invasion of Ukraine began on February 24 and is evidently the largest military assault by one European state on another since World War Two. 

According to the Western countries the initial battle plan was aimed at swiftly toppling Ukraine’s government in Kyiv, but even after more than two weeks of military assault, Russia has control of only one Ukrainian city so far - the southern Dnipro River port of Kherson.

During the first week of military assault, Russia shifted from strategic strikes against military targets using cruise missiles to a stalled ground attack and, currently, a broader siege of major cities, including bombardments using rocket artillery and cluster munitions, sometimes against residential buildings and civilian infrastructure.

The war has forced millions of Ukrainians to flee their country and servive as refugees in other nations.
