Curfews, not allowed to leave towns near conflict areas controlled by Russia, air raid sirens, oppression - to some degree.

Statement from Ukraine seems to be that if the Russian invasion is not stopped at Ukraine, Putin will continue to occupy nations, all the way to North America.

Russia-Ukraine latest news: missile strikes on oil facilities reported as some Russian banks cut off from Swift system – live | World news | The Guardian

As dawn breaks in Kyiv and multiples towns and cities across Ukraine wake to find scenes of destruction, here is where the situation currently stands:
  • Western allies have agreed to block Russia’s access to the Swift international banking payment system. The US, Canada and key European countries, including Germany, have agreed to remove “selected Russian banks” from the Swift payment system, the countries announced on Saturday.
  • There are reports that a gas pipeline is on fire in Kharkiv after a Russian attack, while an oil terminal in Vasylkiv, south-west of the capital, Kyiv, has also been targeted. The government has warned that smoke from the explosion in Kharkiv could cause an “environmental catastrophe” and advised people to cover their windows.
  • The 13 Ukrainian soldiers who were reportedly killed while defending an island in the Black Sea from an air and sea bombardment – reportedly telling a Russian navy warship to “go 🤬🤬🤬🤬 yourself” when asked to surrender – may still be alive, according to Ukrainian officials.
  • Britain is preparing a “hit list” of Russian oligarchs to be targeted by sanctions in the coming months, the foreign secretary, Liz Truss, has said.
  • Truss said there would be “nowhere left to hide” for the super-rich allies of Vladimir Putin’s Kremlin. She told the Sunday Times that new names would be added to the list every few weeks as ministers seek to ratchet up the pressure on Putin.
  • Liquor stores and bars in the US and Canada are targeting Russia’s national drink in a show of unity with the people of Ukraine. Shelves in both countries are being stripped of Russian vodka, with the Republican governor of New Hampshire, Chris Sununu, announcing on Saturday the removal of “Russian-made and Russian-branded spirits from our liquor and wine outlets until further notice”.
  • Japanese billionaire Hiroshi ‘Mickey’ Mikitani has said he will donate $8.7m to the government of Ukraine, calling Russia’s invasion “a challenge to democracy”. The founder of e-commerce giant Rakuten said in a letter addressed to Volodymyr Zelenskiy that the donation of 1bn yen ($8.7m) will go toward “humanitarian activities to help people in Ukraine who are victims of the violence”, Agence France-Presse reported.
  • A Ukrainian company in charge of building and maintaining roads said it was removing all road signs that could be used by invading Russian forces to find their way around the country. The company, Ukravtodor, said in a Facebook post: “The enemy has poor communications, they cannot navigate the terrain. Let us help them get straight to hell.”

I love the removal of road signs! Ukrainians are personally motivated to protect their country. I think many of the soldiers in the Russian military aren’t as enthusiastic about fighting the Ukrainian people.

I wish the group of brave American veterans who have been rescuing Americans left behind in Afghanistan would go after Putin. Vladimir needs to get the Bin Laden treatment. MOO

Russia-Ukraine latest news: missile strikes on oil facilities reported as some Russian banks cut off from Swift system – live | World news | The Guardian

Google has said it is pausing monetisation of Russian state-funded media and barring the outlets from running ads across its services, according to a statement seen by Reuters.

Russia’s state-owned media outlet RT and other channels will be barred from receiving money for ads on their websites, apps and YouTube videos, similar to a move by Facebook after the invasion of Ukraine.

Citing “extraordinary circumstances,” Google’s YouTube unit said it was “pausing a number of channels’ ability to monetise on YouTube.”

[...]

On Wednesday, the European Union unveiled sanctions on individuals such as Margarita Simonyan, whom it called RT’s editor-in-chief and “a central figure” of Russian propaganda.

... RT and several other channels would no longer be accessible in Ukraine after a Ukrainian government request.

Less good news for Ukraine from Kharkiv, 2nd city right on eastern border, where Russian forces appear to have overcome Ukr defences. New stage of street fighting. “Kharkivians, I pray for you,” says ex dep interior minister Anton Heraschenko, who is from there.

I've wondered about that...the soldiers not being so enthusiastic about fighting the Ukrainians. I think that might be the case in areas. I watched a video of an elderly man berating three soldiers (wish I could find it now). They just stood there. One could imagine they were even ashamed.

I also wonder what some in Putin's cabal think as well.....are his cronies all in agreement with this utter madness?
A coup would be in order....or it's crossed my mind too to plan a Bin Laden operation. The man has lost his mind, he's become way too dangerous.

Much respect for the spirit of the Ukrainians, may they hold firm and prevail.

China envoy to Ukraine postpones evacuation of citizens (yahoo.com)
[...]

In a lengthy video message on the embassy's official WeChat account, Chinese ambassador Fan Xianrong sought to dispel rumours he had left Kyiv and reassure Chinese nationals left stranded in the war-torn country.

"We must wait until it is safe before leaving," said Fan from his office, seated in front of a Chinese flag and what appeared to be a fold-out camp bed frame.

[...]

In the weeks before, multiple countries, including the UK, US and Japan, evacuated diplomats and urged citizens to leave as fears of war grew.

China, which has refrained from condemning its close ally Russia throughout the crisis, waited until Thursday before announcing that it would prepare charter flights to evacuate its citizens.

Ukraine closed its airspace to civilian flights the same day, citing the high risk from weapons.

[...]

China has previously said there were about 6,000 Chinese nationals in Ukraine for work and study.

Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi told his German counterpart Annalena Baerbock in a Saturday call that China does not support sanctions and that Russia's "legitimate security demands should be properly addressed".

Beijing voted to abstain from a Friday UN Security Council resolution condemning Russia's actions in Ukraine, which was vetoed by Russia.

Not very smart by that woman to put that info out, if it's even true. Goodbye, brewery.

I think that it is really important to stop Russia at Ukraine. If he tramples Ukraine, surrounding countries are next.
