Russian reinforcements are pouring into Ukraine from Crimea, Belgorod, and Belarus
If Russian forces are successful in completing taking over Ukraine, I’m very curious what the insurgency will look like. The US has already indicated it would back resistance groups.
This is very true. What we are seeing isn’t even all of Russia’s forces that were staged along the borders. Reinforcements are continuing to move in through various points along the border for constant and sustained pressure. This wasn’t an all out balls to the wall ground and air assault against the country. The initial missile strikes from last night really paved the way for quick advancements with “minimal” forces needed.
Haven’t seen any indications from Radiation monitors that the sarcophagus at Chernobyl was compromised.
Ukraine Intel suggesting Russia may bombard Kiev tonight to try and force the government into submission. Ukrainian Intel has been pretty spot on with warnings so far so be prepared.
0300 local time is what’s being suggested. So about two hours away.
At 200k again. Third time. Thank you everyone for the support.
Going to bed a little early tonight but I’ll be up bright and early to jump right back into it
Taliban calling for peace between Russia and Ukraine
Explosions in Kyiv and Mariupol
Apologies for the lack of posting, snow storm is hitting where I am and connection has been spotty at times
Not really a surprise, but Russia has vetoed the UN’s draft resolution calling for the immediate and complete withdrawal of Russian forces from Ukraine
Ukraine saying it downed a Russian Ilyushin II-76. Ukraine military Commander in Chief stating:

“Our Air Defense Forces shot down IL-76 3 with an enemy landing in the Vasilkov area. This is revenge for Luhansk 2014. Death to enemies!”
By far the largest aircraft to be downed this conflict if confirmed, with the second being a Ukrainian An-26 (above) that was shot down the first day of the invasion
Ukraine is claiming the IL-76 was filled with paratroopers
Ukraine’s Air Force command also saying two Russian Su-25s downed (one by a Ukrainian Su-27 and one by S-300 AA missile) and one unspecified helicopter shot down by S-300
Two conflict maps by ISW showing Russian advancements from Feb 24-25. First map showing locations of missile strikes, which are still prevalent in most of the cities.
Also just a heads up. A lot of footage from Euromaidan (2013-2014) is being posted claiming to be from now so just be careful of things you see being posted.
