Russia has reached Kyiv, takes negotiations off table until Ukraine stands down
Russian troops have entered Kyiv, and Putin’s Foreign Minister Sergey V. Lavrov has made it clear to Ukraine that no negotiating will take place until Ukraine stands down. Still fighting, Ukraine’s leaders have told its capital residents of Kyiv to “prepare Molotov cocktails” to defend itself.
Officials also warned its citizens to stay indoors as Russia’s forces advance after missile strikes hit Kyiv. Reports say a rocket crashed into a residential building. Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky gave a televised address vowing to defend the country, lamenting that no foreign troops were coming to their aid.
Moscow has made it unequivocally clear that the intention is to swiftly topple Zelensky’s government, which is democratically elected. Ukrainian officials have announced at least 137 Ukrainian soldiers and civilians have been killed.
Russia touted it had seized control over the historically famous Chernobyl nuclear plant, and said it was working with Ukrainian guards to ensure its safety. Ukraine, however, indicated that to be false, saying instead that U.S. troops were holding the plant’s personnel hostage.
Russia’s attack against Ukraine ends a peaceful era in Europe, being one of the most significant military actions since World War II. The New York Times reports:
“Russia’s attack against Ukraine…raises the prospect of a rekindled Cold War between Russia and the West, with potentially devastating consequences for the security structure that has governed Europe since the Soviet Union’s collapse three decades ago…
Essentially, President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia is seeking to redraw the post-Cold War boundaries of Europe, establishing a broad, Russian-dominated security zone and drawing Ukraine back into Moscow’s orbit.”
Putin has said in recent years that Finland is considered friendly so long as they do not join NATO. Finland’s President Sauli Niinistö confirmed Sunday he has applied for NATO membership.
MetroUK tweeted chilling video and reported the following:
Russia has started moving nuclear-capable missiles towards its border with Finland hours after Moscow vowed not to tolerate Helsinki’s plans to join Nato.
The Kremlin issued a chilling warning that plans for both Finland and Sweden to sign up to the Atlantic alliance were a ‘grave mistake with far reaching consequences’.
Russian deputy foreign minister, Sergei Ryabkov, said: ‘They should have no illusions that we will simply put up with it,’ and insisted ‘the general level of military tension will rise’.

The video was reportedly taken on a road leading to Vyborg, around 24 miles from the Finnish border, showing the deployment of mobile Iskander missiles.
“Seven launchers are thought to be en route according to commentary on a dash cam video broadcast by Russian media.”
A person on the video can be heard saying: ‘As soon as the president of Finland said they were joining Nato, a whole division of Iskanders, seven of them is moving towards Vyborg.
‘Looks like a new military unit is about to be formed in Vyborg or the region.’

Ukraine socialists now begging USA to help? You should have thought about that before 2014 and your radical socialist Antifa rioting in Kiev. And the left has been suppressing, litigating, canceling Christian conservatives and their businesses (like Trudeau) especially hard during and since Obama. But oh NOW they want us to pray with them for Ukraine? Just what do they think “reap what you sow” means?
The only people in the Ukrainian region hating this annexation are the Euro socialists and the stupid left.
Putin is invading. This started in 2014 with Obama using the CIA to help socialists overthrow & ousting of a duly elected Russian leaning Ukrainian president. Back at ya. They think that they can play Antifa and Occupy with Putin. Not so.

WAR : by Facebook: These are obvious questions that need to be asked.
We’re all are Doomed if the Father doesn’t step in & save us.
(the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine’s “FACEBOOK PAGE”,
the battalion decided the only way to stop them was to blow up the bridge, reports the Daily Mail. Shakun, a marine, blew himself up along with the bridge; an act of bravery and valor so great it is hard to comprehend.)
According to the “FACEBOOK PAGE”, Shakun told his comrades he had no time to escape and was going to detonate. Immediately after, they heard the explosion.
When was he fighting……. 1750? When the military couldn’t have a delayed explosion?
Are you “SERIOUS?’ We’ve been giving Ukraine for the last 15 years and they didn’t have a detonator?

The EX-KGB ASSASSIN wants to get the riches the USSR had back.
The oligarchs are complaining the freedoms the people enjoy are costing them too much. And “””putin””” himself requires a bigger share for his complicit acquiescence.
The last “””mansion””” of “””putin””” cost $85 Millions to build on the Black Sea. ( Supposedly a “retreat” for the highest people in government. But the Security is a private company working ONLY for “””putin”””!

You’re wrong. What is happening now is the result of 30 years of NEOCON US aggression on Russia.
