@meduza_en He even has mobile crematoriums so there are no pictures of lots of coffins of dead Russian soldiers. This is very creepy. https://t.co/Arf8UBR7xb

[dull crane]

I mean it’s not so cold

[split aurora]

mobile crematoriums likely burning the bodies of russians and civilians

[loud olive]

Ive said this before but it really isnt

[dull crane]

This whole thing has me listening to Ukrainian patriotic songs

https://youtu.be/q5MyOZ4VQRk

[zealous rapids]

If this whole thing goes places and such and like Putin is killed or some. Who would replace him?

[loud olive]

Cold war implies forcing the other to surrender by starving it of resources, politically overthrowing it from the inside or gathering information (spies) and feeding it to other countries to indirectly start a war, none of that is happening here

[icy ridge]

Hmmm

[icy ridge]

Navalny??? Once he's you know

[loud olive]

Probably someone just as nasty tbh

Rejuvenated

[split aurora]

extensive gunfire

[icy ridge]

Hmm the zoo

[silk iron]

Don't know who would replace Putin, I think it would be a scramble for power from the loyalist Oligarchs

[hollow hollow]

nooooo

[icy ridge]

The animals must be panicking

[silk iron]

kind of like post Stalin

[hollow hollow]

pls just save the animals

[zealous rapids]

Let the animals out?

Maybe they’d attack

[loud olive]

How about the people lol

⚡️Heavy fighting reported in Vasylkiv near Kyiv.

Vasylkiv is a city of 37,000 people some 40 kilometres south of Kyiv. It has an airfield.

Russian paratroopers reportedly landed in the city. Ukrainian forces are fighting them.

[loud olive]

How about the families in the area trying to protect their kids and loved ones

[hollow hollow]

i’m just imagining elephants charging down t-72s rn

so i’m not allowed to care about animals because people are also getting killed?

[zealous rapids]

That’s a discussion of ethics

[split aurora]

ohno whats starting

[loud olive]

No just maybe you should be considerate of the fact that putin didnt invade Ukraine to kill the elephants in the zoo

[zealous rapids]

Which isn’t what this is about

[icy ridge]

They are utmost priority....after that the rest of living beings

[minor nacelle]

I feel like a coup would happen but, if it didn't, then some kind of opposition movement gets Navalny in (possibly like the Provisional Government after the February/March revolution in 1918)

[icy ridge]

There's still the Romanovs

[hollow hollow]

i didn’t think i had to clarify that i obviously don’t want anyone fucking dying in the first place

[zealous rapids]

Bruh

[hollow hollow]

my apologies

[zealous rapids]

Y’all this is about ukraine not like animals and shut

[icy ridge]

Yup the Nation and it's Human Citizens are the absolute priorities

[zealous rapids]

Ye it’s a different convo tho

[loud olive]

I know I just dont think thats the best of things to be saying when people literally in this chat are going throught one of many really difficult nights and then worrying about animals that are arguable very well protected in a zoo...

I just think out of respect for the people there I wouldnt say that kind of stuff
Sorry if I seem harsh just its a heavy topic

[zealous rapids]

Ye

[scarlet crown]

I mean, it's still animal cruelty

It's just that there's not much we can do to help/save them

[icy ridge]

Yeah

[scarlet crown]

not now at least

[loud olive]

^^

[icy ridge]

^^

[loud olive]

In any case the whole thing is messed up

[zealous rapids]

Ye

I’m probably gonna be off for the night soon just cause of bed

[loud olive]

Yeah me too

@scarlet crown I wish you the best buddy, and I hope you and your loved ones are able to stay safe not just tonight but every night

[icy ridge]

I pray we will all wake up with Kyiv defended successfully

My heart goes out to everyone caught up in this whole mess

Good night, rest well

Stop doing war crimes, it’s not that hard

[icy ridge]

Did they get caught tho? Like detained

I'd imagine killed/captured

ukraine has captured reportedly 60+

Oh

[haughty yew]

The Simpsons are based

[zinc talon]

i think putin doesn't care about war crimes tbh

[scarlet crown]

He never did

From the very start

They dressed in different uniforms, they took our tech for cover

They bombed kindergartens, hospitals

[haughty yew]

About how many have they done?

[scarlet crown]

Houses

[zealous rapids]

Orphanages

[scarlet crown]

It's not the matter of quantity, but a matter of it happening at all

[haughty yew]

Yah you’re right

[scarlet crown]

I can't tell an exact number either way

If we can at least stand the night

Not all will be lost

[split aurora]

3hours.

[rare walrus]

wait three hours till morning in ukraine?

[split aurora]

dawn is 6:40am
currently 3:54am

[rare walrus]

ah i see

[clear creek]

Hope they where abel to preform some nightime raids on the russians invading kyiv

[rare walrus]

and im guessing by morning the Ukrainian defenders will have a much better time defending since itll be easy to see?

[scarlet crown]

That and the world will act much quicker

[zinc talon]

Kyiv live streams are being taken down

[rare walrus]

this one is still workin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Q7FuPINDjA

[split aurora]

all the thousands of guerilla defenders

can see the russians

They don't have night vis or night warfare training, the Russians do

[rare walrus]

ah i see

[zinc talon]

yeah, but two have already been disabled. Maybe to avoid giving away information or troop movement

[rare walrus]

possibly so yeah

on the livestream it looks like the center of Kyiv is somewhat calm, so probs fighting is still ongoing at the outskirts

[scarlet crown]

Vasylkiv and where the CHP-6 stands

[silk iron]

fighting is in the northwestern and northeastern suburbs of Kiev on both sides of the sides of the Dnieper river

[rare walrus]

ah i see, is Vasylkiv a city nearby?

[silk iron]

pushing through the streets of Kyiv itself will be difficult for the Russians

[rare walrus]

ah alright, makes sense its in the north as thats where the Kyiv invading force is coming from since they went through the Belarus border

[rare walrus]

yeah, the ukrainian defense forces are putting up one hell of a fight, and they're defending really well

[silk iron]

The most concerning part for the those Ukrainians defending Kyiv is if they'll have enough weaponry and ammunition to arm those civilians willing to defend.

[scarlet crown]

We found weaponry for over than 18k volunteering warriors

[rare walrus]

true, is there military equipment being sent through the polish border currently?

[scarlet crown]

Not to mention that some bring their own ammunition

[scarlet crown]

Unsure

[silk iron]

@rare walrus I don't know, but the Russians are considering a second offensive from Belarus in case military supplies are sent into west Ukraine.

[rare walrus]

alright, i hope they can get some more equipment soon, i think i heard they're trying to send in supplies through poland tho

[rare walrus]

ah yeah, its at the south-western edge of Belarus i believe, so it may very well be to blockade equipment from coming through

[silk iron]

For the time being improvised Molotov cocktails will work in a pinch...

[rare walrus]

That is very true

Molotovs can do a surprising amount of damage against a tank

[split aurora]

Im worried to sleep

[silk iron]

how so?

[split aurora]

Godspeed Ukraine

[split aurora]

I don't wanna wake up and see a massacre in kyiv and russian flaga

[scarlet crown]

One throw on a tank engine and it's out

[rare walrus]

Im stayin up till morning hits in ukraine, then ill probably hit the hay

[zinc talon]

same here

[scarlet crown]

Im debating on whether or not i should stay up longer

[rare walrus]

Yeah, luckily for me its not too late in the night

[scarlet crown]

i don't feel any safer and im pretty bad with sleep deprivation

[tender canyon]

ein please sleep

[silk iron]

If you're not a Russian or Ukrainian you shouldn't be losing sleep over this - you have no impact on what happens, and the Ukrainians soldiers and reservists have resolve, they'll fight on - there's reason for some optimism .

[rare walrus]

Yeah, i dont have any doubts that the ukrainians will defend

[scarlet crown]

@tender canyon oh hello there

[tender canyon]

hii

[snow pecan]

just heard good news from my bf, his brother and wife made it out of the capital safe, they're near Poland now

[silk iron]

yea i was so worried

[rare walrus]

Ah thats good to hear

[grizzled steeple]

Thats very good news

[snow pecan]

i'd only met him a few times but he was nice

[silk iron]

it seems quite a few young male refugees are being allowed to flee into Poland at least

[zealous rapids]

Hey y’all ima get off of this for the night to let my mind reset and such before bed

[silk iron]

contrary to Ukraines mandate

gn

[zealous rapids]

Ein I would probably recvomend sleeping it’ll bm take your mind off stuff but I’m not in your situation so it’s up to u

[snow pecan]

regardless, best of luck to you Ein

[dull crane]

Yo wtf

Ghost 0f Kyiv was from a simulation game

[opal cloak]

Being in ukraine sounds terrifying to me, one of my longstanding biggest fears is being drafted or being in a war zone

I hope this ends soon

[scarlet crown]

No one is sure about him anymore, so it's better to leave him be until the info gets clearer

[dull crane]

Well the video I mean

It was from a game

[zinc talon]

oh i just noticed. One live stream is from Kyiv, Michael's Golden-Domed Monastery. These are CNN reporters

[scarlet crown]

General Staff of Armed forces states on their fb page that ammunition from Poland has arrived successfully

[hollow hollow]

can confirm, i play dcs and the explosion is the video is definitely the dcs explosion effect

[dull crane]

I suppose the plane can still exist

[scarlet crown]

Attack on a military center in Prospect Peremohy (roadway of victory) has been deflected

[grizzled steeple]

Sun up in 4 hours (?)

[scarlet crown]

[zinc talon]

you can hear fights starting in kyiv 😦

[scarlet crown]

Washington Post: U.S prepared to evacuate Zelensky to avoid being captured or killed by the invading Russian forces.

But the Ukrainian president has so far refused to leave the country.

May gods bless the man

[scarlet crown]

Rough battle in Vasylkiv

[icy ridge]

How is Kyiv?

[icy ridge]

🥲

[scarlet crown]

Still standing, most events are occuring near it

The president is not leaving either

[icy ridge]

Ever since he announced that he definitely earned the right to rule the country with respect 100% of most Ukranians

[scarlet crown]

Most certainly

Everyone is more ready than ever

[zinc talon]

hope they can hold the city

[scarlet crown]

Seems like they can

Most diversions are fought off, saboteurs captured

all in progress

[stark harness]

Anyone having trouble swallowing all this…?

It all feels so surreal

[icy ridge]

God bless the man indeed, but if the US even tried to do that..... wouldn't Russia see that as intervention??

[scarlet crown]

Me lmao

[stark harness]

There’s a war going on and instead of the relatively common war of an insurgent group vs a government, it’s an actual all-out war between two nations

[scarlet crown]

I think that as long as they don't involve their military, Russia wont bat an eye

[icy ridge]

Yup War on Europe.... something we thought was long consigned to History

[zinc talon]

it feels like something that could've happened last century, but not rn

if you get what i mean

[icy ridge]

I mean that did happen last century 🤣

[scarlet crown]

they mean the current war

It's genuinely hard to believe that in this time two European countries would have a war

[silk iron]

The likelihood of some form of military incursion was extremely high with over 150,000 Russian troops on the Ukrainian border, particularly after the joint military drills with Belarus.

I didn't expect it to be on this scale tho

[zinc talon]

^

[dull crane]

Are you going to evacuate, ein?

[scarlet crown]

Last priority

It's not over yet.

[dull crane]

hm, respectable

There’s a live camera on YouTube in Kyiv

[silk iron]

i've seen it

[icy ridge]

Isn't it just Revolution Square tho?

[silk iron]

lots of gunfire sounds in the distance from the bottom left video

there's one with 9 different video feeds

mostly in Kyiv

[icy ridge]

Link pls?

[silk iron]

too tired

eurgh

[dull crane]

https://youtu.be/4ayv7DmYbOg

There’s this one

dunno about other ones

[zinc talon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZebYm-nenY

this one has the feed (cam 2) from the cnn guy

[scarlet crown]

I really hope they don't flash out positions too much

[zinc talon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Q7FuPINDjA

[silk iron]

going to sleep, hoping my fears of bloody urban in conflict in Kyiv are avoided somehow

[zinc talon]

it's very easy to locate the cams. already got 3 of them within a few minutes

from the looks of it, the fights seem to be around this area atm

but dont pin me on it

[scarlet crown]

It's hard to tell when you're outside of it

[patent crown]

It’s horrific that people are campaigning for either sides on live video streams where gunfire and all-around death can be heard. So sorry to everybody experiencing this

[scarlet crown]

The situation is reported to be under control

People are getting ready to neutralise landing operatives in Vasylkiv

[zinc talon]

currently based on reports online

[icy ridge]

Sadly Euronews is just looping now....is there any live news that's not looping?

[zinc talon]

bbc has a live ticker

[rare walrus]

this one might not be? im not sure https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Q7FuPINDjA

[rare walrus]

ah wait i just realized this was posted earlier

[scarlet crown]

thuds and gunshots in Odessa, keeping calm

[rare walrus]

oh shoot, stay safe out there! more gunshots could also be heard in the kyiv live feed

[scarlet crown]

Personal bet here: either an attempt at a landing mission, or yet another act of diversion

Could be two at once

[rare walrus]

hmm, possibly, if there is an attempt at a landing, the air defense might be able to prevent it like they've done before

it looks like sunrise is in somewhat of an hour

[icy ridge]

I'm guessing good morning to Ukraine??? I see the sun rise on the livestream

[rare walrus]

ye

[azure plover]

hoping that you won't lose your internet, ein. i've been hearing that some people are losing connection. stay safe

[icy ridge]

That means we survived the night 🙏

??? How is it still dark in Kyiv on one livestream

[rare walrus]

im guessing it's the geographical distance between the two cities

[icy ridge]

Ah makes sense

[rare walrus]

and possibly the camera itself

[icy ridge]

I thought the multiple cameras are different sections of Kyiv

It's actually different cities oops

[rare walrus]

theres some cameras for different cities yeah

[icy ridge]

Sumy and Dnipro has Sunlight now while Kyiv is cloudy but turning but you can start to see the orange of sunrise starting

[rare walrus]

oh yeah, i see it now

[icy ridge]

How is your city doing @scarlet crown right now?

[rare walrus]

but yeah, looks like Kyiv has defended the russians for the night, it doesnt seem like they made any progress getting into the Capital besides from the fights in the suburbs

[scarlet crown]

Uncertain right now

[rare walrus]

i think the top left cam is ein's city, Odessa

[icy ridge]

🙏🙏

Also since it's 6 am in Eastern Europe, we should see Euro news stations stop looping now

[rare walrus]

true

a bit strange, but is there music playing in the kyiv independence square cam? im hearin something that sounds like music far off from the cam

[icy ridge]

Okay Kyiv definitely has Sunlight now.....we have survived the night oh thank god

[rare walrus]

yeah, and it looks like russia hasnt made much of any progress into Kyiv

i think im gonna hit the hay for now, stay safe out there ein! gnight everyone!

[buoyant sundial]

We hope that’s sunlight anyways.

I would be lying if I said I wasn’t concerned about nuclear weaponry usage at all…

[icy ridge]

Russia cannot do that

As that would lead to the end of the world

No way a military is gonna host all of their data centrally

[cerulean canyon]

Iirc the document is like

you want that shit distributed and isolated

[cerulean canyon]

Over several hundred pages

Ope nevermind, thinking about another very long document

So I gotta ask, but do war crimes make a distinction between accidental civilian deaths and purposeful civilian deaths?
Because to some degree civilian deaths are inevitable with modern weapons I feel.

Not that that in any way makes it right of course, but I do feel like the distinction can be important

Hopefully the aid and sanctions from other countries will be enough to hold back russia as much as possible

And obviously the will of the Ukrainians, but they kinda got that already

the Russian stock market has stabilised ish, higher then on Thursday but still way lower then before these tensions

[zinc belfry]

[split aurora]

5year view

[copper monolith]

my dad has come back from work and connected to the russian broadcast, the first thing I hear them talk about is how the ukranian soldiers are involved in a lot of friendly fire, and how they shot up a car with a family of 5, thinking they were russians

[split aurora]

look how much harsher that drop is relative to say, covid19

[copper monolith]

quite a bad info war happening

[split aurora]

:/

disinformation go brrr

[zinc belfry]

obviously, no country is going to talk about them losing the war

just hope people can see through it

[hushed magnet]

There is a lottt of discontent regardless

[zinc belfry]

[hushed magnet]

Most russians you speak to will say they're opposed to the war

Im pretty sure a lot of people that previously bought into russian propaganda are opposed to the war too

[copper monolith]

[hushed magnet]

Its kinda hard to avoid seeing the sheer destruction just going online

And regardless of political opinions, it takes a special lack of empathy to look at this in the face and support it

Putin realises this could be his Afghanistan

If he loses ukraine he is a dead man

Russia is quickly losing Belarusian people same as it lost Ukraine after 2014. Forever. Over last few days, Belarus society goes through tectonic changes in consciousness. More people come to an understanding that Russia is an occupier and warmonger. Tanks will NOT make you loved https://t.co/MoKyLNH2Ts

Like the country is blocking the company. What if the company instead to show they don’t condemn these actions they block anyone in Russia from using them

[icy ridge]

Okay so nothing major major has happened thank god everyone is surviving

[split aurora]

@zealous rapids with social media its better they stay up

[hushed magnet]

Because blockings russians from the rest of the world isnt a good idea

[split aurora]

social media lets the people see past the lies and censorship on government tv and radio

[zealous rapids]

Oh ye. I mean more like serveices.

I wouldn’t be surprised if some Russians maybexvacuate playce

[hushed magnet]

Russian ISPs are blocking platforms to restrict what russians can see

[zealous rapids]

Can people hack into the isp to unrestricted it?

Like that anonymous group

[copper monolith]

VPNs

[hushed magnet]

I mean, idk how youd hack into a huge company to change their restrictions

[viral junco]

Apologies, deleting it now

[hushed magnet]

But yeah VPNs would be the best way to do things

[zealous rapids]

So can the company change it instead.

[viral junco]

As it was the Belarusian opposition I believed it was real

[split aurora]

no need to apologise, its a nightmare telling whats real and fake

the only thing possible is saboteurs

or Afternoon at this point

[icy ridge]

Still 4 am for me, couldn't sleep for some reason

Only had 2 hours 🤷

[molten tartan]

Any updates?

[icy ridge]

Ukraine's capital Kyiv is under attack from Russian missile strikes
Russian forces are trying to break through the city's defences but have so far failed
The invasion has so far killed 198 Ukrainians, the health minister says
Ukraine’s president remains defiant, saying: ‘We won't lay down our arms’
Russia says it has captured the city of Melitopol in the south
The UK says it and 25 other nations will send more weapons and aid to Ukraine
Poland calls off their 2022 World Cup play-off with Russia in Moscow next month
The UN estimates that 100,000 people have escaped Ukraine in the past 48 hours

[molten tartan]

They've fully captured Melitopol?

That's not great

[loud knot]

Why the bloody hell is the mayor lying?

[molten tartan]

Morale perhaps?

[limber wagon]

Current status as of yesterday

[copper monolith]

as of yesterday xd

[limber wagon]

oh oopsie

Stuff changes too quickly. I'll ask if they can war a bit slower

[severe forge]

Also that island that said "fuck you" to a Russian ship

[scarlet crown]

ah yes

the negotiator

[scarlet crown]

happened yesterday

[severe forge]

It's still a power move

[molten tartan]

How's Odessa holding up?

[scarlet crown]

absolutely

[icy ridge]

So wait is it happening or not? Who is telling the truth here

[scarlet crown]

there were some shootings and explosions at 5:40 am my time

[icy ridge]

[scarlet crown]

right now police and citizens are patroling the city in searches of saboteurs

[hushed magnet]

If its not true then its probably just some kinda miscommunication

[limber wagon]

Keep in mind that its very chaotic there rn. People are afraid and dont know whats going on.

[hushed magnet]

Theres enough misinformation going around on the outside, let alone being in ukraine having to deal with this head on

[limber wagon]

There is always a chance that this new thing tahts being reported turns out to be false. Its just the nature of things

It just takes longer for everything thats going on to actually be verified and confirmed, but by that point a dozen new things will already have happened

[hushed magnet]

Yep

[scarlet crown]

It's especially stressful to get information first hand

[limber wagon]

Yeah, I can image

With stuff like reports about fighting breaking out somewhere, its probably better to be safe than sorry if you're actually there

[loud knot]

How can there be a miscommunication that led to "not only had we been attacked by exactly 60 russian troop, but we are currently repelling them"?

[split aurora]

well if you see a helicopter overhead, and you hear conflict of some sorts

then that gets passed from person to person

and you're stressed and sleep deprived

@solid adder

[hushed magnet]

I dont know how it works tho

[haughty yew]

Flawless logic

[loud olive]

Pretty sure France seized a ship with russian cargo on it

[limber wagon]

Same thing also got said to Ukraine a few years back, so maybe a good reason to do join

[scarlet crown]

That is true ^

[split aurora]

Interned a cargo ship in the English Channel

heading to st petersburg

[hushed magnet]

Yep

[zealous rapids]

Countries should do that. Just like seize their cargo ships which are from Russia

And maybe it cuts some of their supply off

[loud olive]

France is gonna do that more regularly now I assume

Also the french are gonna start doing citizen takeovers soon I’m sure of it lol

[zealous rapids]

What’s a citizen takeover

[viral junco]

https://www.rte.ie/news/world/2022/0226/1283109-un-resolution-ukraine-russia-veto/

still daft that a country can veto a resolution against itself

[scarlet crown]

it's fucked

[viral junco]

regardless its good that china abstained, one would imagine it would have been a rejection

[hushed magnet]

Ikr its fucking stupid lmao

And yeah, chinas really walking over eggshells rn

[molten tartan]

I'm really surprised they didn

[split aurora]

Its funny, during the Korean war

the bill to assemble a UN coalition force

to fight russian backed north korea

only passed

because russia boycotted the security council

if they weren't so petty they could have stopped that invasion force with a single veto

[haughty yew]

Could this bring changes to the system?

[split aurora]

no

[haughty yew]

Ah

[split aurora]

because changes require all big 5 to agree

lmao

and all 5 nations love their veto power

interestingly, taiwan used to hold veto vote

the veto was never transferred to the PRC after the chinese civil war till like

the 1970s

since taiwan was made by the old government fleeing

After the night’s fighting, which has injured 35 people, including two children, Kyivans were curt and untalkative yet determined and unafraid.

When asked how they felt throughout the night, they mostly responded, “normalno,” which means “I’m fine.”
