Russians, opposed to the war, as rumours of army conscription begin to circulate, have started to flee the country.
This is according to Felix Light, a journalist with the Moscow Times who met with Russians fleeing to Kyrgyzstan. -
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that peace talks were sounding more realistic but more time was needed, as Russian air strikes killed five people in the capital Kyiv and the number of refugees fleeing Ukraine reached three million.
Russia has not captured any of Ukraine's ten biggest cities following its invasion that began on 24 February, the largest assault on a European state since 1945.
Ukrainian officials have raised hopes the war could end sooner than expected, possibly by May, saying Moscow may be coming to terms with its failure to impose a new government by force and running out of fresh troops. -

This is his biggest hurdle. He will keep going until it’s taken because there won’t be a challenge quite as difficult to follow once this one is done.

Joking aside, that sure stinks of a Kremlin cover up.

Seriousness aside, there is a lot to unpack here. It's hard to carry on. Putin has a lot of baggage.

Such an action would involve allies shooting down Russian planes and certainly lead to ww3

Boris Johnson has sparked outrage by comparing the struggle of Ukrainians fighting the Russian invasion to British people voting for Brexit.
In his speech to the Tory spring conference in Blackpool, Mr Johnson said it is the “instinct of the people of this country, like the people of Ukraine, to choose freedom”, with the Brexit vote a “famous recent example”.The comparison was criticised by Tory peer Lord Barwell, who pointed out Ukraine is seeking to join the European Union.
Mr Tusk, a former Polish prime minister who was leader of the European Council during the bitter process of the UK’s exit, said: “Boris Johnson likens Ukrainians’ fight to British people voting for Brexit.
“I can still remember the enthusiasm of Putin and Trump after the referendum. Boris, your words offend Ukrainians, the British and common sense.”
-
Liberal Democrat leader, Sir Ed Davey, said the Prime Minister “is a national embarrassment”, adding: “To compare a referendum to women and children fleeing Putin’s bombs is an insult to every Ukrainian.
“He is no Churchill. He is Basil Fawlty.”
SNP Westminster leader, Ian Blackford, said: “Boris Johnson’s comments comparing Ukraine’s life-threatening situation with Brexit was crass and distasteful, and shows just how dangerously obsessed the Tories are with Brexit.”
-
Boris Johnson is not my country but holy shit, making that comparison is like comparing flies to a Venus fly trap

Russian and Ukrainian forces are fighting for control of Mariupol, local authorities said, while President Volodymyr Zelensky has said Russia's siege of the southern port city was "a terror that will be remembered for centuries to come".
Mariupol has suffered some of the heaviest bombardment since Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine on 24 February, and many of its 400,000 residents remain trapped in the city with little if any food, water and power. -
Ukraine defied a Russian demand that its forces lay down arms before dawn today in Mariupol, where hundreds of thousands of civilians have been trapped in a city under siege and already laid to waste by Russian bombardment.
Russia's military had ordered Ukrainians inside the city in the country's southeast to surrender by 5am, saying those who did so would be permitted to leave, while those who stayed would be turned over to tribunals run by Russian-backed separatists.

Ukrainian leader Volodymr Zelensky said all issues would be on the table if Russia's Vladimir Putin agreed to direct talks to end the war, including contested Crimea and Donbas, but he warned his country would be "destroyed" before it surrenders.
On the ground, there was no let-up in the violence, with Kyiv under a new 35-hour curfew after Russian strikes reduced a Kyiv shopping centre to rubble, and the Pentagon saying Moscow was stepping up air and sea operations.
President Joe Biden meanwhile warned that Mr Putin was considering using chemical and biological weapons in Ukraine as he held talks with European leaders on what he called Moscow's increasingly "brutal tactics".

John Sweeney, British journalist in Kyiv, is looking to verify that the Russians are in retreat.
He has five reliable sources citing this breaking news. -
Belarus is preparing to join the war. Their participation is imminent.
Putin is struggling.
It is believed this would have less of an impact militarily than it will geopolitically, given the implications of another country joining the war.
Thousands of their combat units are ready to deploy.Kyiv is heavily fortified and it is thought Putin maybe about to use chemical or biological weapons in an attempt to defeat it.

Ukrainian army near Kyiv has managed to capture a1RL257 Krasukha-4, a rather massive device Russians use to suppress AWACS radars & radar reconnaissance satellites.
This should give Ukrainians a significant edge in terms of acquiring support for their war. DoD would love to get their hands on one.
