Although a this point I think it’s fair to say that, considering Ukraine’s proximity to Moscow, the perceived threat from conventional weaponry may have been enough to spark the military response from the Russians.
Putin: “If some kind of strike systems appear on the territory of Ukraine, the flight time to Moscow will be seven to 10 minutes, and five minutes in the case of a hypersonic weapon being deployed,” ‘

This is a really interesting perspective too: an American man who lives in Poland, was visiting family in Ukraine, but got stranded in a hotel in Kiev when the Russian invasion happened, talks about the current situation as he walks downtown on the the streets of Kiev a couple of days ago
He says that after the Zelensky government took the extremely reckless step of distributing military weapons to the Ukrainian citizenry, the current danger in Kiev isn’t coming from the Russians who are still a number of km away. It’s from the criminal gangs who are now running riot in the city with those weapons.
You’d have to wonder what the goal of giving ordinary people guns is. Is it to actually defend the country or to be used as PR for when they get shot dead.
Verbatim
I wouldn’t be surprised if half the shootings have to do with gang warfare and power grabs, and it’s not all about Russia invading.
Such is the nature of a war zone, it invites the worst of the worst to come out and play.
SOQ
And now they are actually going to release prisoners and give them guns- what could possibly go wrong?
f_lawless
I actually linked to a different video of his that I intended to. This is the one where he talks about the armed criminal gangs
@F_lawless. Yes the proximity to Moscow- Ukraine is of geographical importance to Russia.
But of recent times it was discovered that Ukraine has very large untapped gas reserves, which would undermine the Russian energy power hold over Europe. This would also explain why Russia is taking such care not to flatten destroy the infrastructure.
Cian
There are other NATO countries almost as close.
It is ~450km from (closest point in) Ukraine to Moscow.
It is ~580km from Latvia to Moscow.
SOQ
Belarus and Ukraine are the buffer between Moscow and NATO- they are of strategic importance.
f_lawless
@Cian.Yes, worth bearing in mind that NATO’s military encroachment around Russia’s borders of course hasn’t been limited to operations in Ukraine. Ukraine is one element of a wider threat perceived by the Kremlin. But the suggestion is that they really did see NATO’s recent activities in Ukraine as a the crossing of a “red line”, a step too far.

Not so apparently according to the Office for Nationaol Statistics.
” The Brexit shortfall of EU workers has already been filled by staff from the rest of the world, official figures show.
Data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) reveal that the rise in jobs filled by people from non-EU countries more than compensated for the drop in those occupied by EU workers.
While the number of payroll jobs held by EU nationals fell by six per cent (171,000), the number filled by non-EU nationals rose by nine per cent (186,300) in the two years to 2021, according to the ONS.
The biggest falls in EU-held jobs were in accommodation, such as hotels, and food services, where there was a 25 per cent drop (98,400).
Care homes saw the biggest increase in both UK workers and staff from the rest of the world as the sector sought to plug the gaps left by the departure of EU workers. There was a five per cent increase in UK workers (178,400) and a 19 per cent rise in non-EU nationals (178,400) in the two years to June 2021, said the ONS. ”
