The Russian nazis have bombarded a hospital in Eastern Ukraine. Amongst the dead and injured are 6 doctors.
Let me clarify before people think I am saying all Russians are nazis.

Russian = people just like everyone else
Russian nazi = any Russian actively participating in invasion of the Ukraine or actively supporting Putin's regime.

I'm awake. So let's see...oh. Possible attack on a Turkish merchant vessel while Turkey is contemplating shutting down Russia's sea access. This can only end well.

The Ukraine national guard is trying to hard to protect the radioactive dust containers in Chernobyl.

I'm curious as to how a tank would evolve. Would it climb out of the primordial ooze wiggling it's track-nubs, feeding on smaller jeeps before crawling onto the shore having evolved proper treds?

My prediction is Putin is going to make up some horseshit about claiming Ukraine wasn't doing a good job keeping thing contained safely.

Chernobyl has been seized and the powerplant staff taken hostage. Russia has also formally demanded what is effectively unconditional surrender from Ukraine, as Ukraine officially confirms they've taken the Antonov Airport that's relatively close to Ukraine. Russia is in the process of landing further forces there for an assault on Kiev in the hours to come.

Fighting is a mixed bag elsewhere reportedly, with things being toughest for Russia & co in the east (where Ukrainian forces have been fighting for the last 8 years). Forces coming in from Crimea have faced little resistance, while from the north there are mixed reports.

All leave for military personnel in the Netherlands have been revoked and several units have been brought to high readiness level.
Extra drills will be held.

EDIT: India has urged Putin to cease hostilities. They express concern about the safety of Indian students in Ukraine. This morning, 3000 Indian students had already gathered outside the Indian embassy in Kiev to seek shelter.

Oh boy. And i thought this will take three months at least. Looks like my thoughts of warfare are late by a century. :P

Living in Kiyv there. Hopefully i won't die in a bombing run or something.

tbh, I thought this would be a lot more slow and less of an all out blitz. Sadly unless anyone actually comes to defend Ukraine, it looks more like the latter than the former...a fast paced war that will be (mostly) over within a week at this rate and maybe even THAT is on the high side. Especially if they are already demanding Ukraine to surrender and have surrounded the capital.

Turns out some posters here the other month were right when I was talking about a potential world war 3 some time back with russia/china at the helm...modern wars aren't fought over months or years, they are over in days.

The conventional war will likely be over in days, but chances are there will be guerilla conflict for years after this if Russia tries to actually stay there. Which seems likely at this rate, so far we've seen a lot of predictions that hinge on the assumption that Putin's motives are small-scale and sensible turn out to be wildly incorrect.

Sounds like Europe/America doesn't plan on interrupting SWIFT banking that Russia may be utilizing as part of sanctions, per Biden's speech right now. "We'll see how Russia is doing in a month with these sanctions."

I know it's tenuous, but will we have a Ukraine in a month?

It's probably better for the intelligence community in Europe/America if they let Russia keep using SWIFT.
