Ah.

Just seen a report on Polish TV that says they've seen pictures of a "massive" fire in a military base in Moscow. Not seen that anywhere else though.

I don't think Prigozhin would sell his life for CIA dollars. He's probably signed his own death warrant unless he unseats Putin. Even then, he'd be looking over his shoulder the rest of his life.

Not enough to take on an army, perhaps, but 90% of active Russian forces are in Ukraine, not Russia. And man for man, the Wagner troops are more effective than the regular army. Wagner's weakness is in the air. Has Putin left the door wide open? If Wagner really are moving towards Moscow...

And there goes the live feed. Just a case of the Commies playing havoc with Ukraine's internet I imagine.

The best video from today.

Sounds like Russia is to be kicked out of SWIFT after all. According to Reuters, anyway.

But, but, but, Putin said they wouldn't be occupying, and he's a man of his word.

It's all gone quiet for the moment, but it does that. You hear nothing for 15 minutes and then gunfire, or more often, distant explosions. But five minutes ago there was a burst of automatic gunfire that sounded about a block away. Hopefully they won't damage the many museums in that area...

This is Independence Square. Left of centre on the far side is a McDonalds. Kinda brings home that this is not so different from where we live.

Definitely hearing small arms fire now, loud and clear near the centre of Kyiv. That is not good at all.

I'm watching a livestream from central Kyiv and if you turn the audio up loud, someone is belting out "House Of The Rising Sun" acapella. Surreal.

Almost constant explosions now being heard in central Kyiv.

Air raid sirens going off big time in Kyiv. But I see the law-abiding Ukrainians are still stopping at traffic lights, even though there's almost no traffic.

A LOT of sleep. A few weeks perhaps.

They won't. It just happens to be on the road from Belarus to Kiev.

I've been watching livestreams from Odessa for hours. They just went dark.

Good to see the ruble at a record low this morning.

It IS close. It is happening next door to NATO countries, so, in effect, next door to all member states, given mutual defence agreements. From a Canadian perspective, Brighton is closer to the Ukraine border than Ottawa is to Winnipeg.
