What I hear from Kyiv is that some foodstuff is still available, but not much. Below, a milk & cheese section of a supermarket. The most serious problem seems to be medication.

My Ukranian friend and his wife and both sides of their families all hate Russia and always have. They do not see them as brothers.Woods Ag said:
I disagree.. It may not be a goal of Putin's, but I have a few Russian friends in Russia, and they grew up friends with Ukrainians. They see them as brother/sisters, friends, family. Many have family ties there or at least ancestry there. I think that's why we've seen a bit of a hesitation and exactly why you are seeing Russians protesting. This is not a popular war in Russia.
So they parked a tank, pressed play on the cassette tape player and left I guess.
It's not war related but as a result of the war this happened too
Russia will be barred from the 2022 men's World Cup and other international sports competitions after FIFA and the International Olympic Committee levied extraordinary sanctions in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
FIFA, soccer's global governing body, and UEFA, the sport's European governing body, announced Monday that they have banned all Russian national teams and clubs from all competitions "until further notice."

Looks like she got her arm with that Molotov cocktail.
You also Do NOT continue past it, you brake and run back the way you came. It can see and shoot forward very well. It can't see and shoot to the rear so easily.
It was being towed by a tractor in front of it. Highly doubt anyone was inside to even shoot and molly throwers probably knew that.MouthBQ98 said:Robk said:And the guy in the back seat.

Reportedly in the "peace talks" Zelenskey / Ukraine participants said one of their conditions is for Russia to leave Crimea and Donbas. That is not going to happen. Putin will level all of Ukraine before retreating or exiting from Crimea or Donbas.
Putin will keep increasing the fire power until he gets what he wants. The West will ultimately let it happen and not get dragged into a larger conflict.

Judging by this tweet it looks like the Russian forces in the south have advanced a good bit.
I hate to say this but we all know Putin is going to flatten Ukraine before he loses the war. What a waste of life.
I think I will take on Russia this week.

NEW: Russia is sending a 17-mi long convoy toward Kyiv that includes 100s of armored vehicles, tanks, artillery, & resupply.

The convoy was traveling along the eastern edge of Antonov airport this AM, just 17 mi from Kyiv, where the U.S. has seen continued fighting.

Interesting article that claims the involvement of Chechens is being used as propaganda because of their reptutation/stereotypes. That is, Russia is trying to terrorize the Ukrainians with this.

If it becomes a protracted siege designed to starve the population like at Leningrad, you've got to cut off gas purchases from Russia. You've got to make them starve before Kiev starves. I have a feeling that right now Germany is studying and discussing with other world leaders how they could get enough gas to survive next winter without Russia.JobSecurity said:

It's always circling somewhere. They're based out of Tinker AFB in OKC, we see them on ADS-B over the Panhandle all the time.
Nothing to worry about, it's SOP, though I expect it's a little more tense on the plane than usual.
This is a Russian Su-34 over Kharkov.
— Trent Telenko (@TrentTelenko) February 28, 2022
Flying this low suggests both a lack of PGM's and/or fear of high altitude Ukrainian SAMs.
Operations like this are Stinger bait if the Ukrainian Army can get them to Kharkov. https://t.co/DS3km71sV1

Long thread about how I think the first 96 hours have gone, still very early/incomplete impressions. The initial Russian operation was premised on terrible assumptions about Ukraine’s ability & will to fight, and an unworkable concept of operations. Moscow badly miscalculated. 1/

Long thread but some good observations imo.
