The biggest news trending around the world is the war going on between Russia and Ukraine. 

Russian leader, Vladimir Putin, launched missiles into Ukraine on February 24, 2022, starting the war between the two countries. However, the Ukrainian people, government, and troops declare they are not going down without a fight. In fact, Putin did not expect this kind of resistance from Ukraine. 

Over the past couple of days, cities all over lit up their landmarks the colors of the Ukrainian flag. According to USA Today News, the most recent city is Los Angeles where they lit up the LA City Hall building. 

Let’s take a look at some of the landmarks:
