Ethnic minorities? As in Russians?

I'm a bit skeptical of that.

Jon Cooper doesn't know anything and has repeatedly made s--t up in the past.  Please don't let him give "U.S. intel" a bad name by just making up nonsense and attributing it to them.

It's from a real letter: https://www.washingtonpost.com/context/read-u-s-letter-to-the-u-n-alleging-russia-is-planning-human-rights-abuses-in-ukraine/93a8d6a1-5b44-4ae8-89e5-cd5d328dd150/?itid=lk_interstitial_manual_5

There is no real evidence of that (and in fact I saw at least one report of a Russian plane being shot down).
Ok. I haven't seen anything.

All that is happened so far is pretty much missile launches and some bombing for the most part. That is not something that you defend against. Any resistance will be done for the most part by the Ukranian army on the ground, and that will take more time to come to fruition because they will not all immediately be in contact with the Russian army.
Well, yes. But so far Ukraine hasn't done much. Of what I seen. And nobody knows what's happening it seems.

Hasn't even been any message from politicians as far as I know. Only this

If nobody knows what's happening don't post definitive statements.

By nobody, I meant nobody in Ukraine. Their media seem to be out of loop. For instance, they literally quoted CNN etc on what happens in Ukraine.

Ukraine’s deputy interior minister, Anton Gerashchenko, has also confirmed a Russian invasion has begun.

In a statement posted to his official Facebook page, the minister said:

Quote
The invasion has begun. There have just been missiles on the military headquarters, airports, military warehouses, near Kyiv, Kharkiv, Dnieper.

Gunfire at the border is underway. From this day, there is a new geopolitical reality in the world”

Take any unconfirmed reports with a grain of salt ofc.

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

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.


If it is true, WHAT THE HELL ?? MOLDOVA ??



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

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.

If Russia fully commits, 0.1%. They can make it a costly victory tho, if their chain of command or supply lines don't get cut.


My understanding is that Russia in first place bombs Command and control infrastructure and military storage facilities...

Just hopped on snapchat (i know) and took a look at the map and as of 20 mins ago the seaside in Odessa looks calm and there are no troops/landings there. Take it FWIW.

My understanding: only bombings so far, perhaps, with exception of Donbass/Luhansk border.

US intel has reported that no ground troops have moved into Ukraine yet and is all bombings so any reports of cities falling is disinformation

What is "US intel" in this context? Rubio's tweets imply things are moving pretty fast.

Satellites, presumably?
