This brings up another longer range question. We all know that so much of the international hacking has been coming out of Russia for years. I ponder what may come of this. in general, hackers are going to be able to get more of the correct information rather than the government run misinformation
I have always just thought Russian hackers were in all this because of the money... are they true Russian patriots/

thoughts for another day.

Personal note
Pls be aware of scam/hackers,not just Russians,but all around the world -of course!

Hackers active: this is how you ensure that your basic security is in order

(Headline SBM)

The hacks on Dutch routers were done by a notorious hacking group within the Russian military intelligence service GRU. It is probably the intention to use the devices at a later date for a large-scale hacker attack, says the Dutch Military Intelligence Service (MIVD) , which discovered the hacking attempt.

I was wondering the other day if it would be possible to do a modern version of the "Berlin Airlift" from a location near Ukraine to drop supplies and food to areas that are under attack and hard to reach.

Re Russian hacking, I'm close to someone who works in IT. Last week they said all their friends working in INFOSEC were very, very busy.

Where is Russia's cyber blitzkrieg?





Where is Russia's cyber blitzkrieg?


Fighting in Ukraine continues but the much-anticipated Russian cyber blitzkrieg hasn’t occurred. Russian forces have failed to deploy devastating cyber attacks in the opening salvo, despite ample opportunity to cripple Ukrainian networks. Where is the dramatic, game-changing cyber war we were promised? Pundits are scrambling for explanations. Spoiler alert: Cyber isn’t a magic wand to wave and gain battlefield superiority. Cyber attacks are rarely decisive on their own, and they don’t exist in a vacuum. Strategic context is critical for unpacking the use of cyber operations, and Russia’s invasion strategy undeniably has shaped and restricted its menu of cyber options.
.......

So far, cyber operations have been “the dog that didn’t bark.” But the day could come when Russia uses cyber operations to give conventional forces a temporary edge or to retaliate against those supporting Ukraine. This requires more sober and concerted planning than we have seen from the Kremlin thus far. The longer-term challenge is how future aggressors interpret these events. Will militaries convince themselves that cyber has little use early on in an invasion, or will they learn from Russia’s mistakes to better synchronize cyber operations with conventional ones? My money is on the latter, and I’d be willing to bet that Beijing is already studying hard.

I got two Romanian strays,one of them has the same colors!
I love Bernese Mountain Dogs,they are so gentle,friendly and social.During my child hood,our family dog looked like a Bernese Mountain Dog,so guess that is why it is my favorite!

Today,on twitter I saw a picture of an Ukrainian woman who carried her old dog for 17 km to safety,don’t know if it is valid,but I do know,that everything brings me to tears,when people show their best in such a heartbroken terrifying situation.

I'm sure they do. Normally, McD locations are run by franchisees but in Russia 84% are still run by the company. The remaining 16% will be operated by franchisees. I wonder if those will keep their restaurants open. If the percentages were flipped I wouldn't be surprised if the owners would be compelled to remain open by some kind of decree.

And now they will all be nationalized

More on the negotiations that took place with foreign ministers from Ukraine and Russia today in Turkey

“Zelensky’s Servant of the People party on Tuesday said states such as the US, Turkey or Ukraine’s neighbours could act as guarantors, if their concrete political, economic and military responsibilities in this capacity were formalised.”

Edited to add: The Ukraine negotiators are proposing that they would consider neutrality as a condition proposed by Russia, if there are international security guarantors.

That seems okay to me, at least. Zelensky said the other night he has accepted NATO membership is a no go. Jmo

1,300 people died in the besieged Mariupol, local authorities said, confirming the mass grave had to be built, the morgues were overcrowded and normal funerals impossible. With 200,000 ppl locked in Mariupol, Russians try to use the city for blackmail - Російські війська розбомбили лікарню та пологовий в Маріуполі. Що відомо про жертв - BBC News Україна https://t.co/3Hg8umyJug

Hasn't this been one of the cities that evacuation has been basically impossible? Maybe this is the reason. JMO
