Prominent celebrities from all over the world have taken the internet by storm with reactions to the emerging crisis in eastern Europe, after Russia announced a ‘full-scale invasion’ of Ukraine.

On Thursday, the Russian president Vladimir Putin announced a ‘special military invasion in the east of the country. Explosions and blasts have struck cities across the country including the outskirts of Kharkiv, Kramatorsk, and the capital Kiev.

“What most of us learned as kids on the playground: You don’t stand by while a big kid beats up a little kid,” wrote Stephen King on Twitter. “You might take a punch or two making the big kid stop, but that’s the right thing to do.”

Cardi B also re-shared her tweet from earlier the week that reads, "War, sanctions, invasions should be the last thing these leaders should worry about."

Former Good Morning Britain presenter Piers Morgan tweeted, “This is an act of war by a bully-boy thug who doesn’t think the rest of the world has the guts or will to stop him... Shameful.”

Singer Annie Lennox took to her Instagram handle and wrote, “What kind of ‘price’ must ordinary people pay for the nightmarish madness and brutality of ‘invasion’ and ‘warfare’? Or is this just an elaborate hoax? A scare tactic? A threat?”

Grammy-nominated singer Regina Spektor also condemned Putin’s actions and “the horrors of war” in an Instagram post.
