What is happening between Ukraine and Russia???

As a person who doesn't understand this kind of stuff very well, I would really, really appreciate if someone could explain this to me. What is happening? And should people in the U.S. be worried? Of course, I'm also concerned for the people in Ukraine right now, and I'll be praying for them. I just need to know if I should be worried. I'm seeing a lot of people making jokes about it and about WW3 happening, and it's actually infuriating for some of us who have children whose futures we are worried about. It honestly pisses me off seeing people joke about war and also things like climate change and about how they "want to die anyway" and whatever. I have children to look out for, and they deserve a good life and promising future. It makes me sick to think about it. Anyway, sorry for rambling, just wondering if anyone can explain to me what's going on. Thanks!
