Russia invading Ukraine (NEWS/UPDATES)

[APH]

Said on this thread last week that I couldn't see Putin invading. But he might as it's now or never with Ukraine leaning ever more westward.

On the face of it, it looks like Putin genuinely expected to be embraced by Ukraine. There doesn't appear to have been much joined up thinking tactically and logistically on how to defeat the Ukrainian military in an actual war.

It's what is needed. Good to see some stepping up. Support Ukraine and box Russia in with feet in the ground in bordering NATO countries... On top of the sanctions that seems the best course of action at present. Merely my opinion but it seems Putin has judged this appallingly/underestimated.

I think this also shows just how much more advanced our anti-tank and air systems are compared to old Russian tech. After all this was supposed to show how strong Russia were militarily.

Will Putin even be Russian leader this time next year ?
This from him could be a massive miscalculation ; the world are united and the Russian population may rise up and topple his dictatorship.
It has happened before.

Anyone see BA flights system down at Heathrow?

Saying hardware issue & not hacked but not sure I buy that at min.

BA computer systems don't need a Russian cyberhack to bring them done. They are capable of doing it spontaneously themselves.

This has to be the big hope.

I’ve seen a video that I won’t post on here of a Russian armoured vehicle driving through a street and I’m not kidding about 50-100 civilians pepper it with Molotov’s seemingly burning the Russian soldiers to death. It’s awful viewing. You feel sorry for the young Russians following orders but you also can’t help but want to fist bump the Ukrainian civilians. They don’t want this and they are willing to fight to the death.

I seen that earlier. f***ing insane when the Ukrainians start shouting “uuraah”. Russians were famous for shouting that during battle etc in ww2.

Just seen a video of Vitali of Vitali saying Russians tried to enter the capital from Gostomel, but these have been "Neutralised"
He looks like he's aged about 20 years in 3 days, probably hasn't had a wink of sleep since it all kicked off. Tbf though the bloke is a born fighter, these lads and lasses won't give up.

The Ukrainians are hard as fuck. Amazed that Putin has underestimated this tbh.

That sounds harrowing. It's so sad that the actions of the insane minority are causing pain and suffering amongst the innocent majority.

The chances of anything coming from Moscow, were a million to one they said

Maybe this shows they are not the elite army that was feared one day would quickly sweep across Europe unchecked.

Maybe they are actually a bit shit.
