Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called on the nation's citizens to defend themselves when Russia began its invasion. The country's deputy defense minister urged civilians to resist the Russians by making Molotov cocktails.

Many Ukrainians have filled milk crates with makeshift bottle bombs, welded anti-tank blockades and grabbed Kalashnikovs as they patrol the streets with the Ukrainian Territorial Defense Force, which is believed to have 130,000 volunteers.

The war has taken a toll. The United Nations human rights chief said Monday that more than 300 people have been injured in Russia's invasion of Ukraine, but the actual figure is likely to be higher.

More than half a million Ukrainians have fled the country since Russia began its attack.
