Re: Russia has invaded Ukraine
Couple of updates from Kyiv Independent:
BREAKING: Washington Post: Russia warns U.S to stop arming Ukraine. The Washington Post reported that it had received a copy of a diplomatic note sent by Russia. In the note, Russia claimed that US & NATO shipments of weapons to Ukraine could bring “unpredictable consequences.” -- Russian forces shell residential area in Mykolaiv. Russian shelling of a residential neighborhood in Mykolaiv, a regional capital in southern Ukraine, injured multiple civilians on April 15, according to Hanna Zamazieieva, the head of the Mykolaiv Oblast Council. -- Up to 50,000 residents return to Kyiv every day, according to local official Mykola Povoroznyk. Earlier, mayor Vitali Klitschko said that it was too early to return as there is still a threat of Russian strikes, while the demining of territories surrounding Kyiv is ongoing. -- Media: North Macedonia expells 6 Russian diplomats. The Foreign Ministry of North Macedonia has declared 6 more Russian diplomats persona non grata for violating diplomatic norms, RFE/RL’s Balkan Service reported. The country has already expelled 5 Russian diplomats in March. -- Russia threatens Sweden, Finland with 'consequences' of joining NATO. The ministry's Maria Zakharova said the two countries will then become a new "frontier” in Russia’s confrontation with NATO and there'll be “negative consequences for peace and stability in northern Europe." -- Moody's: Russia's failure to pay debts in dollars by May 4 will mean default. Russia reportedly made payments on two bonds in rubles on April 4. Moody’s issued a statement saying that a change in payment terms may be considered a default if not cured within a month. -- UN: Nearly 5 million Ukrainians have fled the country in 50 days of war. According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, over 7.1 million people have been internally displaced. |

Strategic studies academics were pointing out the tyre issues in some of the earliest photos from Ukraine, within a week or 10 days of the war beginning. These pieces of evidence, and others like them, are the reason some of these people have been so ahead of the game in predicting Russia’s difficulties. Unsurprisingly, these are the same people who are saying that no matter how much Russia may want to take Dneipro or encircle the Ukrainian army in Donbas, it simply doesn’t have enough men or equipment available to do so. Yet at the moment, the BBC and others continue to publish maps with bold red arrows implying that the war is still all Russian movement and progress. If you use Twatter at all (and I didn’t, prior to this), then follow Phillips P O’Brien, Dr Mike Martin and Shashank Joshi for starters. |

Don't forget he admits he got things wrong in the beginning just as the majority of stategists did. Russia was only a paper tiger but regrded as something else by the west. Meanwhile. BBC: FSB asks Russian government for additional funding to bury Russian troops. The FSB asked the Russian government to increase by 17% the “funding for military burials and tombstones,” BBC reported. Ukraine says 20,000 Russian troops have been killed in Ukraine since Feb. 24. |

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine seems to have brought about ‘unpredictable consequences’

Re: Russia has invaded Ukraine
Does anybody think that now's the time for NATO or a NATO country to enter Ukraine upon Zelensky's invitation, then immediately imposing a no-fly zone on the non-Russian occupied areas?
This move would call Putin's bluff; so long as Putin can maintain the bluff, Ukraine will be systematically destroyed. Can we really stand by and watch? As for Germany, not enough noise is being made in the West about that; Zelensky would think all Europe wants is for this to go away. |

The Ukarainians so far have shown to be very successful in their war against Russia so I think the best thing would be is to step up the aid, give them the heavier weopons they need and the aircraft to counter the Russian airforce. They have been quite clear on what they need so why not supply them. Would it be worse than a direct NATO confrontaion? |

There’s no need - Ukraine are kicking their ass, with the arms/logistics/AWACs support we are already providing. NATO getting directly involved (unless Putin invades a NATO member) would be counterproductive. |

Also … they’re expensive, n limited supply and given the sanctions imposed on Russian industry, quite possibly irreplaceable. It’s ultimately self-defeating because when they really need them, they won’t have them, and in the meantime they are only stiffening Ukrainian resolve to resist. |
