Zelensky still not spoken. Some suggestions that he has been flown West to Lyiv or is about to be by the US to get him out of Kiev.

It’s his next move really and whatever he says in his address to the Ukrainian people will determine what happens next

USSR putting missiles into Cuba was a response to US missiles in Italy and Turkey (ie, members of NATO)

in the present time -
have the Americans stationed ballistic missiles in the Ukraine - no
does America have any ballistic nuclear missiles stationed anywhere in Europe - no

this is not a re-run of the Cuban Missile Crisis - this is Putin trying for USSR 2.0

Of course it's shrouded in secrecy but by accounts of the 'Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation' Washington DC a small number of bombs are reportedly kept under U.S. Air Force guard at six airbases in five European countries, ready to be delivered by respective national fighter planes - if Ukraine were allowed their aspirations to join NATO then it's entirely possible that they too would be involved in such a setup, that won't be allowed to happen of course;

Apart from these small separatist regions all Putin wants is a guarantee that Ukraine won't be allowed in NATO and I do think he'll get his assurance albeit through a back channel. I personally think Biden gave the game away when he alluded to the fact that 'small incursions' may well be allowed..

Then what was all that stuff he said earlier this evening then?
 
Right. Time to shut down all energy supplies from Russia. Time to clean up all this Russian money pouring into London property.

Russia is run by a relatively small group of oligarchs - hit them financially. We're never formally going to war with Russia, so the only way is in the pocket.
