Take any unconfirmed reports with a grain of salt ofc.

What I can see, there is only bombing of military infrastructure so far.

Yeah, I don't know how legitimate these twitter accounts are so everything is unconfirmed until it is confirmed.

Ze spoke and said: no panic, I've spoken to Biden, stay home, the military will take care of this.
Link?

I watch Ukrainian TV, so unless you speak Russian/Ukranian... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgSn1Z2rq6E

This is the way to go now, attack the oligarchs.



Does he mean Russian children that were adopted before they outlawed it?

Those are now American children because the Russians didn’t want them. He’s most likely talking about the jerk off kids who come here with their parents Oligarch money.

For the record, I support a conditional Lend-Lease situation for Ukraine, to ensure it is only done for defense purposes and not offense. If need be, NATO troops can move in as well.

OK, this is bad, if true (needs confirmation). Russia may be attacking Moldova also, not just Ukraine.

I saw a report of this 5-10 minutes ago but assumed it must be a mistake, but this is 2nd report I saw.

There are butts on Twitter decimating propaganda. We have to know better than this.

Heartbreaking: The worst person you know just made a great point

As I said in an Atlas-adjacent Discord server an hour or two ago, I can't believe I'm saying this, but thank God for Marco Rubio's Twitter.

This was actually somewhat expected (if true). There were reports a week ago or so that intelligence was indicatin they might also attack Moldova.

However, Moldova is not in NATO.

If this is true, holy ****. Moldova is a neutral country with neutrality written into its constitution.
Edit: It appears that tweet was deleted, so hopefully Moldova hasn't been targeted (yet).

Transnistria is plurality Russian and small Russian forces (I believe) have been stationed there.

If true, the odds of a nuclear exchange just increased by that much.

If true, it's a major blow though. Mariupol is the 10th largest city in Ukraine and a valuable port/defensive city for the Ukrainian Army.

Indeed, and the fact that the city fell in 2 hours? I find this unbelievable, even if the Ukrainian military simply retreated without fighting and there is a lot of pro-Russian support in Mariupol. It would take more than 2 hours to just occupy the city I'd imagine.

Attacking Moldova is strange. But Russia might be attacking form Transnistria. On Ukraine TV, I've heard something about attacks from Belarus side, but it was vague, unclear what they meant.

A report of some sort of Ukrainian victory defending Kiev's airport (Boryspil airport). From an obvious pro-Ukrainian source, might not be objective.
