“Russian tanks are standing near the ring road,” said Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov. “The subway is the safest place. All utilities are working. There are no civilian casualties in Kharkiv. Terekhov asks everyone to stay in shelters.”

Anyone?
BBC News have had good coverage of this today, people on the ground over there have been reacting in all kinds of ways including just going about their daily business.
Honestly, if you don’t seize the chance to doss off work while a superpower is making unwanted advances on you then you’re probably a little too dedicated.
BBC..
snigger
What does the Trumpy ONAN channel have to say about it?
No idea, never heard of it..
Trudeau bad, Putin the best. Bigly. Obviously!
But are they unwanted?
Were the two areas which have been invaded not asking for independence?
The attacks so far have not only been focused on the two disputed territories, no.
Cos the BBC said so..
Innit
I do enjoy a BBC experience on occasion- just saying.
QoS. That’s fun.
you could say the same about any anti-Government groups in any country that has been stoked and supplied by a neighbouring (opposing) country. Like that Kilkenny teenager that thinks Ireland should be under British rule.
Putin has plenty of war crimes under his belt. What’s a few more.
What war crimes does he have under his belt?
I’m giving up feeding trolls for lent, you’ll have to move on or starve.
Simple question, alas too much for paul..
When you’re as harney for Putin as Me So Harney, it’s only to be expected.
Ask the civilians in Syria targeted by his bombers, they’ll explain it to you.
“the civilians”
LOLOLOLOLOLOLS
You mean ISIS..
Peace and harmony now in Syria, ever since “the allies” and their ISIS pals left..
Try harder jonny boy
I didn’t have to try to hard..a quick Google search and
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/jul/07/at-least-544-civilians-killed-in-russian-led-assault-in-syria-rights-groups-say
this is just one of many
A quick Google search of the group making the allegations, SNHR..

Financed by Qatar and opposition countries.
Try harder jonny boy
…the civilians in the capital, Damascus…who have been bombed for the past two nights by zionists…those civilians…
No, the civilians in northern Syria killed by Russian forces.
Another example

Lining up the next conspiracy @Bodger that there’s no invasion by Russia?
It’s quiet…too quiet.
They’re using silencers, duh!
The Kremlin have told RT that they have destroyed 74 Ukrainian airbases in one day. How is that quiet?
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, cyber attack and its resulting chaos is what everyone should be preparing for.

Is it nice and warm up there?
Up your own hole, that is..
Yep, transatlantic cables will be cut
hey long time Harry, hope you(s) are well
Russia floating over such a non NATO space like Ireland is absolutely no reason to worry.
OMG ALSO- less NYC second hand clothes BS on TikTok- win win.
Yours,
Mullet and moustache.
If it gets you off the internet and out of the house for a while it’ll be a good thing.
Ukraine’s “war” is the new covid, blown out of all proportion.
Population 44 million, let’s say half have smartphones. Hardly any footage of what’s going on on TikTok or other social media even though the internet is still working.
There were strikes on military installations but that seems to be it.
Sure thats grand so.
That’s what you do in a war. You destroy your opponents military capabilities.
Bombs dropping does not good TikTok make. You would think “Citizen journalists” are wise enough to take shelter.
They’ve attached military bases and airstrips. They aren’t bombing cities indiscriminately or walking around firing at civilians. And no it is not confined to the two separatist regions.
Another sleuth on location with the inside track..
There’s video evidence.
Fox news says it, the Guardian says it, even Russia Today says it but clearly you just choose to believe whatever you want.

Ukraine’s Health Minister Oleh Lyashko said 57 people had been killed and 169 wounded on Thursday after Russia launched a full scale invasion of Ukraine. Separately, the deputy defence minister reported heavy Russian shelling was still underway in the eastern Donetsk region:

Comments are mainly unsettling. All thoughts are with those who have little choice but to live through this period and the bewildered among us should well know that denial is not the most appropriate response.. if anything it gives space to those voices who would sooner be entertained by their own disbelief .. it is obvious for years now how much a particular narrative approach has been adopted in instances where powerless and yes weakness are felt most acutely.
“The Ukrainian city of Mariupol is under heavy fire with reports of hundreds of explosions. The city is one of the biggest Ukrainian ports on the Azov Sea. Taking Mariupol would help Russia secure a direct land route to Crimea, the Ukrainian peninsula annexed by Russia in 2014.”

A young guy who evidently spotted this image appearing on social media this afternoon and thought it would be cool to caption it, print it off and bring it to a protest as a poster.:
