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.

The Russians are striking targets in Kherson, one of the major routes over the Dnieper from Crimea.

Neither am I. I just hope what I am not allowed to say about what I want to happen to Vladimir Putin happens in public, in a painful humiliating manner.
 
Reports of gunfire at Kiev's airport.

I'd rather not take that chance.

Meanwhile, Dow futures are down 500. Surprised it's that little.
 
So far the strikes appear to have included a Ukrainian air base, a Ukrainian barracks, and Ukrainian forces in the field.

There are additional reports that 2 Ukrainian drones have been downed.
