"In order to suppress information attacks against Russia, the technological facilities of the SBU and the 72nd main PSO center in Kyiv will be hit with high-precision weapons," the Russian MoD statement said according to TASS. "We call on Ukrainian citizens attracted by Ukrainian nationalists to carry out provocations against Russia, as well as residents of Kyiv living near relay nodes leave their homes." Based on widely circulating footage, it appears the invading Russian forces have begun to take out communications towers and antennas, as well as Ukrainian military infrastructure - also amid continuing reports that residential areas are increasingly under threat amid the siege of Kiev.

There's been confusion over the prior reported EU jets to Ukraine...

If we protect Kyiv, we will protect the state. This is the heart of our country, and it must keep beating," Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Tuesday. He gave a stirring video address to European parliament, the day after he signed a formal application for Ukraine seeking EU membership. "Our people are motivated and we are fighting for freedoms and our lives," Zelensky said. "We are fighting for our survival," he added while urging the body to "prove" that they stand with Ukraine. This as he's urging both NATO and the US to impose a No-Fly Zone, an appeal which both so far have rejected. Satellite imagery being widely reported on Tuesday morning suggests a massive column of Russian infantry many miles in length is now en route ready to bear down to the Ukrainian capital. Estimates as to its size have varied, but there's consensus it's at least many, possibly dozens of miles, long. CNN describes it as "A massive 40-mile-long Russian military convoy — made up of armored vehicles, tanks, towed artillery and other logistical vehicles — has reached the outskirts of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, according to satellite images from Maxar Technologies." Kiev officials have said the city has erected fortifications, while much of the civilian population has sought the safety of shelters or underground bunkers ahead of what's expected to be a large-scale final Russian assault, also after two other large cities have in the past days come under heavy rocket barrage and shelling.

That's all really, really dastardly. Like something Israel would do. If it's not a war crime it should be.
Better Putin sitting in the Oval Office than Biden. At least he would have achieved it through right of conquest than through theft.
That's just inane.
Easy to joke about from 4700 miles away....
Joke? If Russia launches, I'm sitting in a prime target.
Right of conquest, you say.
You know--like how the US acquired Puerto Rico and the Philippines.
And all of the Confederate States of America.
