Reports emerged Tuesday that Russian President Vladimir Putin said he could take control of Ukraine’s capital city in as little as two weeks, a remark that escalated already pitched tensions between Russia and the West in the lead-up to NATO’s summit in Wales.

From CNN's Paul P. Murphy and Josh Pennington
The Zaporozhye regional administration says a new mayor has been installed in the Ukrainian city of Melitopol, which is under Russian military control, after the elected mayor was detained on Friday.
Ivan Fedorov, the elected mayor of Melitopol, was detained by armed men on Friday and accused of terrorism offenses by the prosecutor's office for the separatist Russia-backed Luhansk region.

The newly installed mayor is Galina Danilchenko, a former member of the city council, according to a statement on the Zaporozhye regional administration website.
Danilchenko, who was not elected by the people, was introduced as the acting mayor on local TV, the statement said.
In her televised statement, which was posted by the administration on Telegram, Danilchenko said her "main task is to take all necessary steps to get the city back to normal."
She claimed there were people still in Melitopol who would try to destabilize "the situation and provoke a reaction of bad behavior."

"Today, the head of NATO, Mr. Stoltenberg, made a statement: if at least one shell, even one bullet hits the convoy that they are delivering today, they will consider it a violation of the fifth article that exists today in NATO countries," Danilov said.

He also denounced the U.S. sanctions against Moscow as an “unprecedented attempt to deal a serious blow to various sectors of the Russian economy,” but noted that Moscow will act in a measured way to avoid hurting itself.
Ryabkov said that Russia has no intention to expel Western media and businesses amid the soaring tensions with the West, adding that ”we aren’t going to escalate the situation.”

Biden and the others hammer the concept of WW3. They'd love an old fashioned WW. Like I've said from the very start; Putin has no intention of being lured into fighting the 3rd. He'll immediately go to the nuclear codes and hit them and it'll be just like hitting us to Biden, but, not to us.

23 min agoDeath toll from Russian strikes on military training facility reaches 35From CNN's Andrew Carey in Lviv
Russian air strikes on the Yavoriv military training ground killed 35 people, the Lviv regional administration said Sunday.
A further 134 people have been hospitalized due to injuries caused by the early morning missile strikes, it added.
More than 30 missiles fired from warplanes over the Black and Azov seas hit the military base, said Maksym Kozytsky, head of the Lviv regional military administration, in a statement posted to Facebook.
Authorities had previously reported nine deaths.
Ukraine Defense Ministry spokesperson Markiyan Lubkivsky said officials were still clarifying information, but so far there were no reports of foreign nationals among the casualties.
The site, which lies about 40 kilometers (25 miles) northwest of Lviv and less than 20 kilometers (12.5 miles) from the Polish border, is home to the International Peacekeeping and Security Center (IPSC).
The IPSC hosts training exercises with Western military personnel, including from the United States. Last fall, it held the Rapid Trident military exercise, a multinational Ukrainian-American military exercise, according to the official page of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.]]]

They have been as corrupt and manipulative as Russia. A Russian puppet president got thrown out, a chocolate oligarch got voted out.
They have just recently elected a president who ran on a platform of reform in not only getting the oligarchs out of government, but getting the displaced Russian puppets to stop fighting.
Either you have read absolutely nothing about Ukraine, or you are just absolutely lying.
Both sides are making Ukraine out to be something they were and are not. The are a fledging democracy with a lot of history that would prevent them from being anything like Western European democracies.

Bloodied but alive after Russian air strike in western Ukraine
YAVORIV, Ukraine, March 13 (Reuters) - The Ukrainian colonel's blast-damaged car limped back from the forest where he had just treated soldiers wounded in a Russian missile attack on a military base in the country's far western edge.
Leonid Benzalo, an officer in the Ukrainian medical reserve, told Reuters he was in a dormitory at the vast Yavoriv base, just 15 miles (25 km) from the Polish border, when air raid sirens woke him at 3:20 a.m. (0120 GMT)
The soldiers took shelter for two hours, some in the surrounding forest, and were returning to the dormitory when the missiles struck, he said.
"The dining room and dormitory were destroyed. So were the barracks," he told Reuters, speaking after his driver, who still had blood on his uniform, stopped to buy coffee at a gas station on the road to the regional capital Lviv.
The military training facility, the biggest in western Ukraine and a venue for past drills with NATO, houses the International Center for Peacekeeping and Security.
The blast ripped through the building, throwing Benzalo across the room, he added. He remembered six powerful explosions in total.
"The most important thing is we're still alive," he said.
Ukrainian officials said the Russian strike killed 35 people on Sunday and injured at least 130.
Russia's Defence Ministry said that its attack had killed 180 "foreign mercenaries" and had destroyed a large cache of weapons supplied to Ukraine by other countries.
Reuters could not independently verify the casualties reported by either side, or the damage reported by Russia.

Ukraine war: 'Sky turned red' as missiles hit Lviv military base
At least 35 people died in the strike on the Yavoriv training base, near a major crossing point into Poland used by refugees from the conflict.
Russia fired around 30 cruise missiles at the base, outside the city of Lviv, early Sunday, the local governor said.
Hours after the attack, ambulances were still rushing to the scene.
Roads leading to the facility were blocked with checkpoints and authorities were conducting search-and-rescue operations.
Russian jets fired around 30 cruise missiles at the site, also known as the International Peacekeeping and Security Center, authorities in Lviv said. Most, though, were intercepted by the air defence system.

Dutch Foreign Legion fighters wounded in Russian missile attack in western Ukraine
An unknown number of Dutch citizens were injured on Sunday after Russian forces attacked a military base in Yavoriv, Ukraine. About 30 missiles were fired at the training camp outside of Lviv killing at least 35 people and injuring many others, the BBC reported based on statements from the local governor. The camp is less than 25 kilometers from the border with Poland.
Before reports of Dutch injuries surfaced, Prime Minister Mark Rutte on Sunday said that Russia’s attack on a military training center near the Polish border is extremely worrying. The prime minister was a guest on the television program WNL op Zondag, along with NATO Military Committee chairman Admiral Rob Bauer, who called the attack a “clear signal” to the West.
Both men, however, agreed that there are no signs that Russia intends to attack a NATO territory. Russia is not seeking to make NATO an opponent, Bauer said.
"They are really staying away from us at the moment,” Bauer said. “While they normally have a somewhat more aggressive attitude towards NATO.”

US officials say Russia has asked China for military help in Ukraine
Russia has asked China for military equipment to support its invasion of Ukraine, according to US officials, sparking concern in the White House that Beijing may undermine western efforts to help Ukrainian forces defend their country.
US officials told the Financial Times that Russia had requested military equipment and other assistance since the start of the invasion. They declined to give details about what Russia had requested.
Another person familiar with the situation said the US was preparing to warn its allies, amid some indications that China may be preparing to help Russia. Other US officials have said there were signs that Russia was running out of some kinds of weaponry as the war in Ukraine extends into its third week.
The White House did not comment.
Liu Pengyu, the Chinese embassy spokesperson in Washington, said he was unaware of any suggestions that China might be willing to help Russia.
“China is deeply concerned and grieved on the Ukraine situation,” Liu said. “We sincerely hope that the situation will ease and peace will return at an early date.”
The revelation comes as Jake Sullivan, US national security adviser, heads to Rome for talks on Monday with Yang Jiechi, China’s top foreign policy official.
Before leaving Washington on Sunday, Sullivan warned China not to try to “bail out” Russia by helping Moscow to circumvent the sanctions that the US and its allies have imposed on President Vladimir Putin and his regime.
"We will ensure that neither China, nor anyone else, can compensate Russia for these losses,” Sullivan told NBC television on Sunday. “In terms of the specific means of doing that, again, I’m not going to lay all of that out in public, but we will communicate that privately to China, as we have already done and will continue to do.”
The apparent request for equipment and other kinds of unspecified military assistance comes as the Russian military struggles to make as much progress in Ukraine as western intelligence believe they expected.
It also raises fresh questions about the China-Russia relationship, which has grown increasingly strong as both countries express their opposition to the US over everything from Nato to sanctions.
China has portrayed itself as a neutral actor in the Ukraine crisis and has refused to condemn Russia for invading the country. The US has also seen no sign that Chinese president Xi Jinping is willing to put any pressure on Putin.
The two leaders signed a joint statement in Beijing last month describing the Beijing-Moscow partnership as having “no limits”, in another sign that the two capitals were drawing even closer together.

Liu Pengyu, the Chinese embassy spokesperson in Washington, said he was unaware of any suggestions that China might be willing to help Russia.
“China is deeply concerned and grieved on the Ukraine situation,” Liu said. “We sincerely hope that the situation will ease and peace will return at an early date.”
The revelation comes as Jake Sullivan, US national security adviser, heads to Rome for talks on Monday with Yang Jiechi, China’s top foreign policy official.
Before leaving Washington on Sunday, Sullivan warned China not to try to “bail out” Russia by helping Moscow to circumvent the sanctions that the US and its allies have imposed on President Vladimir Putin and his regime.
"We will ensure that neither China, nor anyone else, can compensate Russia for these losses,” Sullivan told NBC television on Sunday. “In terms of the specific means of doing that, again, I’m not going to lay all of that out in public, but we will communicate that privately to China, as we have already done and will continue to do.”
The apparent request for equipment and other kinds of unspecified military assistance comes as the Russian military struggles to make as much progress in Ukraine as western intelligence believe they expected.
It also raises fresh questions about the China-Russia relationship, which has grown increasingly strong as both countries express their opposition to the US over everything from Nato to sanctions.
China has portrayed itself as a neutral actor in the Ukraine crisis and has refused to condemn Russia for invading the country. The US has also seen no sign that Chinese president Xi Jinping is willing to put any pressure on Putin.
The two leaders signed a joint statement in Beijing last month describing the Beijing-Moscow partnership as having “no limits”, in another sign that the two capitals were drawing even closer together.

"This is Chechnya": The Russian military on the phone told about the defeats in Ukraine (audio).
One interception of the occupiers' conversation has been published. It was published on his YouTube channel by the adviser to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Anton Gerashchenko.
Judging by the conversation, the Russian occupier is talking to his wife, she advises him to "sit there quietly in a corner." :lmao :lmao
The soldier replies to his wife: "Kombrig himself says: 'Na*uh, this is Chechnya, '95, the most inferno.' It's the same as here! We're like blind kittens going and we don't know what's going to happen!"
Then the wife of the Russian military asks whether RosTV is lying about their victories. In response, he advises to watch Ukrainian channels.

saw this the other day, a talk from 2015 on ukraine by an american professor. I think it describes the situation well.
Though its always satisfying to see the military aggressor struggle vs a weaker opponent, the reality is it only makes russia more dangerous to do something desperate, they have their own MIC too, and with the conflict on their border they are more pressured to react. china potentially getting involved doesnt help either. this is looking like its going to get a lot worse from here- was it really worth it to reach this point over ukraine getting a nato base or adopting the euro? they would have been one of the poorest countries in either coalition, would that really have helped their population's well being?

Subscribe wall.
Thanks for the other video I will take a listen tomorrow when I have time.
From everything I have read so far on Ukraine in NATO is they just were not stable enough, nor did they follow the general principles required of approaching their obvious problems with corruption and dealing with their own people in a lawful manner.
Now having said the above Turkey is probably a NATO member that has gone totalitarian with their leader. At the time there was debate about letting them in because Edrogan had just taken over and was in the process of putting the military in its place. But Edrogan has become a very harsh leader and Turkey is a very complex problem for NATO to dump. NATO is in no way a society of perfect nations. It has a group of Nations that agree on general principles among the biggest of which is the Soviet Union and Russia. Putin has now made NATO relevant again. There was hope when the Berlin Wall went down that NATO might become an organization that was obsolete. Putin just changed that.

Russia also said they have no intention of invading Ukraine. Then they said they would not send conscripts.

I read the article and no where does the Russian finance minister say they have asked China for economic and military help like the other poster suggested. It simply states that Russia expects China to uphold its business dealings with each other as usual.
“We have part of our gold and foreign exchange reserves in the Chinese currency, in yuan. And we see what pressure is being exerted by Western countries on China in order to limit mutual trade with China. Of course, there is pressure to limit access to those reserves," he said.
This is just a problem of you being illiterate, nothing else. Learn to read, be better.

I mean, it would be doubtful if they didn't suspend currency exchange for 6 months and their stock market hasn't opened in 3 weeks, and the ruble didn't catastrophically tank.
So, sound legit, tbh

Russia Shuts Down Instagram at Midnight. Users Say Farewell
Instagram users in Russia have been notified that the service will cease as of midnight on Sunday after its owner Meta Platforms said last week it would allow social media users in Ukraine to post messages such as "Death to the Russian invaders". An email message from the state communications regulator told users to move their photos and videos from Instagram before it was shut down, and encouraged them to switch to Russia's own "competitive internet platforms".
Meta, which also owns Facebook, said Friday that the temporary change in its hate speech policy applied only to Ukraine, in the wake of Russia's Feb. 24 invasion. The company said it would be wrong to prevent Ukrainians from "expressing their resistance and fury at the invading military forces"....
The message to Instagram users from the state media regulator, Roskomnadzor, described the decision to allow calls for violence against Russians as a breach of international law. "We need to ensure the psychological health of citizens, especially children and adolescents, to protect them from harassment and insults online," it said, explaining the decision to close down the platform.
"The tears were flowing Sunday among Russia's airbrushed Instagram influencers, who begged their followers in farewell posts to join them on alternative social media platforms..."reports the Washington Post (https://www.stripes.com/theaters/europe/2022-03-13/russians-bid-farewell-to-instagram-before-midnight-ban-5332945.html). On the platform, emotions ran high Sunday among Russians who were about to lose thousands of dollars they received to promote various products, as well as access to millions of followers amassed over the years. "I'm writing this post now and crying," Olga Buzova, a Russian reality television star, wrote, saying she hoped "it's all not true and we will remain here...."
The ban on Instagram is the latest example of how Russia's citizens are being isolated from the rest of the world as a result of Moscow's war against Ukraine. Since Russian President Vladimir Putin launched the invasion on Feb. 24, his government has also pulled the plug on Russia's opposition-oriented radio and television networks, part of a broader effort to squelch domestic dissent in response to the war. Thousands of Russians have been arrested for attempting to protest the invasion.... But perhaps no move is more isolating than removing Russians from social media platforms that connect them directly to other users around the world. Instagram counted nearly 60 million users in Russia in 2021, according to the market data firm Statista, about 40 percent of the country's population. The platform is also a huge revenue source for its users, who rake in cash from sponsors by posting promotional content.
"We know that over 80 percent of people in Russia on Instagram follow an account from outside of Russia," Instagram head Adam Mosseri said in a video, according to the Post's article.
It adds that "It is unclear how many Russians will continue to be able to access Instagram using Virtual Private Networks, or VPNs."

I can't believe I'm saying this but at least for the sake of objectivity Meta shouldn't allow those kind of threats to be published IMO.

Let me just enlighten you kids. It's not rocket science,,,,Russia is already moving through Ukraine and becoming so dangerously close to Nato countries that they are scared he will invade them and won't stop with just Ukraine but yet our US representatives tell us the war is going badly for Russia,,,,,lmao. So why is spineless Biden sending more troops to shore up the Nato borders?,,,,riddle me that. And the day China folds to the US like a whipped puppy is the day Nono has an IQ above 50,,,,,
