Kyiv: Under attack, Ukraine is determined to give Russian a tough fight.
Not just on the field, Kyiv has launched an aggressive ‘war’ on social media against Russian President Vladimir Putin and his powerful army.
Ever since Putin announced a military offensive against the eastern European country early on Thursday, the official Twitter handle of Ukraine has been extremely active, blasting Kremlin and has sought support from rest of the world.
