CNN's foreign correspondent just stopped his report to don a flack jacket.

Yeah, Putin is a fu##ing Hitlerish maniac.

Russian forces are moving out of Crimea. Guess is that they'll try to cross at Kherson or Nova Kakhovka to slip behind the Dnieper and trap Ukrainian forces east of the river.

I guess they will advance to the Dnjepr River pretty fast from all sides.

Kiev and West Ukraine will be tougher …

Looks like multiprong. Kharkiv now, too.

What sanctions does Washington have left?

Sever Russia from the banking system. It's a rubicon kind of action.

Sanctions don’t work for madmen.

 

[Jredbaron96]

The Russians have launched ballistic missiles against major Ukrainian cities.

They're punching real hard at Kramatorsk.

What a stupid F!

So very sad.

 

[reinaert]

My god-daughters family just made it out. They went to sell their land (north of Odessa), got covid, and had to quarantine for a month. It's purely anecdotal, but they seemed to believe that the port of Odessa was busier than normal with regards to inbound cargo.

[Parrish]

A horror.
