I get a bad feeling that Kyiv is falling tonight.

---

The sun rises in an hour and a half.

There was definitely heavy fighting on the outskirts.

With the numbers reported being committed to the invasion in total, how spread out they are across the whole nation, the Ukes actually fighting hard.......can the Russians even take Kiev with what they had staged at dusk?

This is a huge, very dense city filled with millions and the Russians can't have more than low five digit numbers actively trying to take it against very stiff ( and growing) resistance.

We can say that Kiev may "fall" but what does that actually mean? Full Russian takeover and capitulation of Uke military? Based off of last night, I don't think that is happening in the next few hours. It looks like the Ukes bought themselves another dawn.

I've been thinking the same thing. Who gives a **** if they take the city center. They can relocate to a fortified sector of the city; est comms, send propaganda that they're still in the city, and Charlie Mike. **** some rusky ass with a counteroffensive.

I'm not up to speed on what's currently docked up there. We are extremely lucky to have the capability to use SpaceX vehicles to get our folks down now and not have to rely on Soyuz capsules.

At this point you hope that Ukraine's resolve is strong enough that even if their leadership structure is captured that they are willing to run an all out decentralized guerilla war

Shared this way early on but former US officials have already said we would supply and wage a proxy, guerrilla war in Ukraine against Russia.

---

No matter what happens, you can count on a LONG civil war after a new government is put in place and a chunk of the Russians leave.

I don't think Ukraine is going to be stable for many many years

---

Or perhaps Ukraine wins.

Is assassinating Putin a viable option, or is he so protected it would be impossible?

The Ukraine government? They are down 8 runs runs, bottom of the ninth, one out and nobody on base right now. It doesn't look good.

Their best bet is to develop a solid base in the west of Ukraine and wage a guerilla war for years against the puppet government.

If everyone would just look away, does it matter who does it?

I didn't expect the barricades to hold one much less two vehicles. Now the wreckages fortify the barricade.

Much Respect to Ukraine.

I disagree with your analysis completely. The Russian plan is failing in multiple ways and the Ukrainian position is growing stronger

I know there's probably been air assets up since this started on Wednesday, probably more flights since the response force was activated, but it does seem like we/NATO are keeping quite a few tankers in the air.

Don't read too much into that. They've had multiple in person meetings with national security council folks over the last few days. Tomorrow they will be in two different locations so the schedule will have a remote call on it. Nothing burger.

I think you're both right. The government, THIS government, is probably at it's sunset. I think the country still has a lease on life as it knows it without being a puppet.

SIAP

As local press says, a Ukrainian air strike Friday night made Russian forces back off Kherson and retreat to the other bank of the Dnipro River. The city is still under Ukrainian control. https://t.co/zSFWNu79Rr

Why would the Zelensky government be at its sunset. Explain.

Not really new. Was posted a while ago.

Was from yesterday

It's pretty clear they are facing overwhelming odds here. Russia is eventually going to take control of the major cities. It's going to be nasty, and Russia is going to lose way more assets than they thought they would. Z and his higher ups are going to be killed or captured, but he will be a martyr.

I don't think Kiev doesn't fall

I don't think Zelensky leaves Kiev

He has buttressed a nation. He won't leave and he won't get captured IMO.

Some retired general on CNN must made a point that everyone is fixated on the size of the invading force. However, they are also fighting on several fronts and laying siege to several large cities. They had an amphibious landing in the south also. They may have missed on how many troops it would take to overrun the capitol. He pointed out that NYC has 50,000 police officers. It may take time of amass the manpower moving in from various directions to completely take the city. He also was amazed that they have not taken out the bridges around the city.
