American Express suspends operation in Russia and Belarus,
globally issued cards will no longer work in Russia, and Russian
issued cards will not longer work.
Tik tok suspending some services to Russian users who will no
longer be able to live stream or upload new content as the
company evaluates the new Russian law over reporting
information.
Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant- Russian's have disconnected
some mobile networks and the internet at the plant, which means
reliable information can no longer be obtained from the plant
through usual means & Ukraine’s nuclear regulator has confirmed
they are having major communication problems with plant staff,
also food availability and supply issues at the plant.
Plant management has to have prior approval from Russian
commander for any measures they do.
Growing pressure from high ranking congressional members in the
US for Biden to transfer fighter jets to Poland, so Poland can
transfer jets to Ukraine.
US has very credible intelligence that Russia is indeed
purposely targetting civilians. (I think most of us figure this
out pretty quickly, it's pretty obvious Russia has no problems
attacking civilians.)
Russia has Russia has damaged the Donetsk-Mariupol pipeline
leaving over 700,000 people without heat in freezing temps.

That makes sense coming from a BRICS member, and that's why the
Russian public can't see Twitter now. RT's website stopped
allowing people to sign in on any platform other than Telegram -
no more Disqus or Google or Facebook or Twitter, and any
comments critical of Russian actions are deleted asap.

Russia is going straight into propaganda mode. I wonder who

According to the US Russia has about 95% of it's amassed combat

Putin sure makes a lot of threats. The part of me that is peace
and love hippy says maybe he'll see the light, but the part of
me that trained for war with the USSR says turn out his lights.

Governments make me laugh, no matter what the circumstances
their thinking never really changes...
The Ukrainian government has stated that anybody who manages to
secure and sell on a Russian tank, armoured vehicle, artillery
piece, etc will not have to pay State taxes if they manage to
sell them on!
Like they would have done so anyway!

Apologies for the Daily Heil link, but this is important.
British official tells Ukrainian family of nine to 'get back in
your expensive car and clear off!' as they try to get to UK from
Calais - while mother and daughter are also turned back after
1,500-mile drive from war zone

[quote]A British official has been accused of telling a
Ukrainian refugee family of nine to ‘get back in your expensive
car and clear off’ as they desperately tried to get into Britain
having managed to escape Vladimir Putin’s terrifying war.
Vadym Chernets, 45, arrived at a British immigration advisory
point for Ukrainian refugees located at the port of Calais with
his wife Olena, 45, their six children – one boy and five girls
aged between seven and 23 – and his seven-month-old
granddaughter. His 23-year-old daughter Natalka is currently
pregnant with her second child.
The family fled Ukraine’s besieged capital Kyiv last week in a
Mercedes and slept in the people carrier as they made their way
to France, hoping to reach the safety of Britain.
But after being told by British Border Force staff that they
could not apply for a visa because they did not have any
relatives in the UK, one heartless official hollered within
earshot of Chernets: ‘He can get back in his expensive car and
clear off and go wherever he wants.’[/quote]
