Possibly some 24h for a complete Russian takeover of Kiyv, lets's see how the insurgency plays out after that. Also, lets see how Javelins and stingers deal more damage and more enemy body bags return to Russia. Great chance for checking U.S weapons capabilities, a simple Ukrainian poor equipped army could defeat entire armored lines, too bad they don't have enough to hold them longer than maybe a few hours.

Russian police detains hundreds in anti-war, pro-Ukraine protests
Anti-war protests have taken place in 40 different Russian cities on Thursday.

Russian police have on Thursday made 705 arrests as citizens all across Russia protested against president Vladimir Putin's decision to invade Ukraine, the OVD-Info protest monitor said.

Anti-war protests have taken place in 40 different Russian cities on Thursday, according to OVD-Info.

Footage of protests in Putin's hometown city of St. Petersburg also surfaced on social media on Thursday.

American Mathematical Society Cancels Participation in 2022 ICM Conference in Russia

The AMS leadership is alarmed by the current situation in Ukraine and its implications for the 2022 International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM), scheduled to take place in St. Petersburg, Russia. International exchange is essential to the growth and health of research mathematics. The ICM provides a unique opportunity to support and celebrate these connections, but not under current conditions. The AMS has no plans to send representatives to a meeting in St. Petersburg. We urge the International Mathematical Union not to hold the ICM in Russia in July 2022.

The AMS-NSF-Simons-ICM travel grant program has been suspended. Those who have already been approved for travel grants will receive further instructions from the AMS.

The American Mathematical Society (AMS) is a professional association of 30,000 individuals and 570 institutions worldwide dedicated to advancing mathematics research and scholarship and connecting the global math community through publications, meetings, advocacy, career development and more.

https://insidehpc.com/2022/02/american-mathematical-society-cancels-participation-in-2022-icm-conference-in-russia/

https://www.ams.org/news?news_id=6987

Last time it happened was in 1982 in Warsaw. It was delayed to 1983, but this time, it will be cancelled if Americans do not come.

Another notable even is Grothendieck who refused to go to Moscow in 1966 to receive his Fields medal in order to protest against the Soviet military intervention in Eastern Europe. This time, a certain Ukrainian mathematician might do the same if she was awarded the medal...

I have yet to see a statement from the European Mathematical Society. Nothing on the Twitter accounts of both the AMS and the EMS.

They should have chosen Paris for the ICM 2022... I blame France for not giving enough money to win the competition back then (in 2018).

To sum up what is happening

- strongest resistance is on belgorod-kharkov axis, Russia has taken some casualties there but is still moving forward and looks like on its way to encircling the city
- moving down steadily on the belarus-kiev axis but not a lot of reporting there because fighting would be taking place in the Zone and there's not civilians there to take grainy phone videos
- Russia appears to have successfully landed at a military airport just outside Kiev, but still contested. Ukraine attempting to hit with arty which indicates the russkis have likely cleared them out of the airport grounds at least.
- russia has totally broken out on the southern front, crossing the dnieper to head west and also heading north east to link up with the kharkov and donetsk fronts, have reached at least mariupol
- us intelligence expects Kiev to fall in 96 hours
- general view is RIP ukrops
- gonna take victory tour on this one, turns out the west can't just go scorched earth on sanctions because Russia supplies a lot of stuff the West needs and support from non-western powers e.g. india, Brazil is not forthcoming. Pakistan's president is even having a nice meeting with Putler now.

actually that Kiyv would be under siege in 96 hours but it would take over a week for the current government to fall. It depends on how far Biden wants to finance a partisan resistance after the Russians take everything.

Putin sucks yes, I know. He's a fucking opportunist who both shits on Lenin and Stalin but then try to please the people's Soviet nostalgia when needed. But he's the lesser evil and his actions now is just a reactions to what the US-NATO has been doing all this time. He's the "lesser evil" here, hence why I put a critical support on him. Because Russia winning would've create a better material conditions for the Global South.

Kiev will fall just like Kabul did to the Taliban. As I said before the shooting even began, it would be completely irresponsible for the media to give out the impression that the capital and Ukraine as a whole won't fall within days to weeks. I could see Kiev falling within 24 - 48 hours. Russian VDV paratroopers secure the airport about an hour away and then fly in as much armored support as needed to fan out.

Zelensky might try to flee into Poland, Romania, or Slovakia. I give him credit for not pulling a Ghani and already being on a helicopter out packed with loot (of course, unlike the Taliban, Russia actually controls the airspace and did within a matter of hours).

I gave a high upper ceiling that Russia would control Ukrainian airspace within 24 hours, but it seems to have taken like 4 - 6.

That's great in principle - I don't mean that sarcastically. It really is. On paper and in theory I would support absolute national sovereignty and self-determination for every country to be the sole decider of its own affairs on its own territory and its own future.

The problem is that in practice it is never treated this way by world powers and superpowers. Ukraine wasn't allowed to determine its own future not just by Russia, but by the U.S. and Britain as well in the past when they financed, diplomatically supported, and cheered the overthrow of its last government (by the way, its constitutionally legal, also elected, and also internationally-recognized government not just by Russia but by every single country and bloc in the world including the U.S. and EU) and threatened to sanction and act against anyone trying to prevent it like the deposed Ukrainian president. That also violated the Budapest Memorandum. Or when they poured at least $5 billion into financing certain Ukrainian political parties and movements to act as proxies. It's not like Russia's actions are happening in a vacuum where all of this very real very recent history didn't occur.

"Rules for thee, not for me" or "Do as I say, not as I do" was never going to be a sustainable model for any international system in the long run. They shouldn't have overthrown the last government and vetoed the will of millions of Ukrainians who voted for it to impose their own will by force. That opened the door to a larger more powerful force saying "Fine. We can play that game too". Which started in 2014 with the seizure of Crimea.

ROFL, everyone I talked to yesterday is blue-pilled AF.

These are the same people who said that COVID will never turn into a pandemic, the Taliban will never take over Afghanistan, and that an Ukraine invasion is just media hysteria. Now the next blue pill stop is Putin stopping his invasion on Europe once he "frees" Ukraine from the evil Neo-Nazis.

There is absolutely no chance he has interests beyond Ukraine, no.

Taking long-term economic consequences for something as trivial as a temporary conflict with Ukraine that he knows for a fact is neither a threat nor is committing genocide is totally a move someone like Putin would make without any long-term plan whatsoever.

He will. That's like saying because the Soviet Union, even much larger, more powerful, and globally influential than Russia today, wouldn't have stopped at Hungary in 1956 or Czechoslovakia in 1968 just because they wanted more. It isn't how it works. Sure, they'd like more, and the U.S. would like to stop Russia militarily in Ukraine. Both won't for the exact same reason, and it's the same reason - MAD - that prevented a hot war between the U.S./NATO and the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact/Eastern Bloc for over 45 years.

And it isn't Ukraine that was this great threat to Russia anymore than Cuba was this great threat to the U.S. in 1962. Every IR analyst understands that's not what it's about even remotely. It's about not willingly letting a country on your doorstep be converted into a base of a hostile and expansionist military alliance of a foreign empire.

The levels of radiation should have greatly decreased by know, but it may cause some radioactive materials to leak into the soil or waters, so it's would still be a disaster.

Chechens are fighting on BOTH sides. There are those that are in West which is believed to be a major reason for Muslim Unrest earlier in the 2000's (like the Muhammad Video stuff) and Chechens under the Sharia Law Russia Puppet.

Russia only kept Chechnya after fighting 2 wars (first was fighting against Baathists like Syria and Iraq, second Islamist Hellhole) and annually paying them TONS of money.

I agree with what you're saying (Russia interferes w/ Ukraine as much as the USA) however some things just don't matchup. The "game" being played is not equivalent: A direct and forceful way of influencing a country through threat of military might is different than persuasion through proxies and financial contributions.

However it is up to those countries in question to decide if they want to join a organization and then make actions to do it before anyone can act on them for enacting that choice (if the action upon is going to be called justifiable). One reason why the sanctions weren't thrown at Russia before the situation escalated, cause preemptive retribution removes justification, negotiation from the table, and is itself unjust. Russia's current justification didn't mark security concerns over Nato's expansion as a reason for invasion (despite evidence) and is instead using deceptive narratives of Nazis, genocides and ancestral-connection to send its military force into a nation to do whatever it doesn't want to do. Although Russia had reasonable claims to prime itself in such a way, those claims were not reason enough to act in an aggressive manner, just as "The West" has good claims, yet no reason suitable to prime itself militarily against Russia. Heck, even Ukraine can share some blame.
History doesn't legitimize Russia's actions, and juxtaposing the USA doesn't bolster their claims to do so either.

And...Zelensky is already now discussing prospect of declaring Ukraine's official neutrality and some form of security guarantee with Russia to stop the Russian offensive and that the war can only be resolved through dialogue.

Declare Ukraine neutral and have something actually put in writing and film it in a televised ceremony broadcast to the world, unlike James Baker's promises to Gorbachev which were not honored. Maybe if they had done that in the beginning and they'd been less arrogant and convinced of their own invincibility the war wouldn't have been necessary.

It reminds me of Poland in the 1930s under Jozef Pilsudski and the right-wing military dictatorship. Contrary to historical portrayals, it was neither blameless in affairs of the time nor peace-seeking. The Polish Chief of Army boasted that Polish forces would be in Berlin within three weeks.

In an address on Friday, Zelensky said he is open to talking about the possibility of a neutral status for Ukraine, but insisted that his country needs third-party guarantees.

“We are not not afraid of Russia, we are not afraid to talk with Russia, talk about everything: security guarantees for our country and a neutral status. But we are not in NATO now – what security guarantees will we have? Which countries will give them?” he said, before adding that there should be talks to bring an end to the Russian military offensive.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday that “neutral status and rejection of hosting [offensive] weapons systems” are Putin’s “red lines” for Ukraine and that the ball was now in Kiev's court.


Ukraine should be made to agree to a similar status as Switzerland or even Austria.

That was quick. Russian armor already pouring through the streets of the capital, Kiev in like 30 hours after the war began. I knew they'd overrun critical parts of the country with lightning speed. Russia should have just done this over eight years ago and put an end to this whole protracted farce of the post-Maidan coup government's posturing and shenanigans. Eight years of nonsense!

Zelensky already suing for peace, giving up on NATO, etc.. The top leadership is obviously hours away from being encircled and captured or killed. Now they offer Russia what they and Biden and Stoltenberg and all the other arrogants weren't able to in order to avoid the war from happening in the first place. I wonder if Moscow will listen now or capture/arrest the leaders anyway and parade them in handcuffs.

Apparently, there are still plenty of Ukrainians in fighting shape in the Southeast of the country. Mariupol is still held by the Ukrainian 53rd Brigade and the DPR troops are mounting an offensive against them. There have been so many different Ukrainian fortifications in the area that the People's Militia has had a hard time dealing with defending Ukrainian troops.

I found the Telegram group that a lot of the most dramatic footage has been coming from the last 2 days -- Realnaya Voyna ("Real War".)

Putin is moving a huge incinerator to the border so there's no sight on thousands of dead bodies being sent home.

Some Ukrainians found a abandoned Russian column. no Russians around, and their uniforms were left on the ground around the trucks. It's like in Dragon Ball Z when Cell first appears.

Yeah, I saw that a bunch of Russians basically abandoned their vehicles and they said they didn't even know who to fight and didn't want to fight.

Ive read 450 Russian dead and 157 was the official total from Ukraine for them.

You know, I feel a little sorry for Zelensky. Just a little though.

You Yankees don't know who he really is, so let me explain - he started his career back in 90's at a popular slav show where students from different universities compete in something akin to stand-up comedy and usually all of them try their best to suck up to the show's host.

After this he went on TV and had his show which on the one hand was a political satire, but on the other you could see that he favored one politicians after others and after the coup in 2014 he really toned it down and switched to mocking Russia. Then when Ukraine attacked it's eastern territories it seems that he was almost drafted, which is strange since he has the money, so he would have no problem to just pay off, but it seems that he even fled the country for some time. They allowed him to escape draft, but in exchange he was a free-of-charge assclown for the military. He even went to the warzone to entertain them.

But luckily for him his bootlicker routine began to pay off, since one of the oligarchs decided to use him in his battle against another oligarch, who was the president at the time. He gave him money and allowed to start his own comedy show on his channel, where he carefully made fun of the current president, but to be fair this is what everyone were doing in secret. Slowly, but surely he built some kind of people's love, since they were too retarded to understand that it's all for the show and considered him to be stunning and brave. So when elections came, that oligarch used Zelensky as a talking head, since he had enough popularity because of his shitty TV-show. He even didn't stop to play that character in debates, but to be fair he didn't need to do much to win, since the people voted not for him per se, but "anyone but that old retard", so of course he won.

However, did he do anything differently? Of course, not, he even went further, since he had no will of his own. Hell, he didn't even try to prosecute the ex-president like he promised he would do during the campaign.

And now after taking a torch from the man who started this war, he is going to be the one, who lost it. Miserably. While the ex-president already fled to Britain - the second best home for foreign war criminals after Canada. Because this is how life of a professional bootlicker ends.

On-topic:



A Ukranian shows off a rare VAL rifle as a trophy from a dead presumed RU special forces member. For those that don't play video games the VAL is a pretty rare firearm that is integrally suppressed, select fire and known for having a few types of armor piercing subsonic rounds available. Not standard issue. It's like a Mini-Boss Weapon.

On the Livestream I posted at the end of the last post they were showing the mobilization of Chechnya.

Chechnya is a Sharia Law Islamist Hellhole that is allied with Russia because Russia sends billions of dollars to them and had 2 wars with them (similar to how the British had tons of wars with groups like Sikhs and Boers that only then they allied with the British). They're gonna be mindless mobs screaming ALLAH ACKBUR when firing guns.

According to Russian news they are gonna be the ones sent to Kyiv, while Russians who say "WHAT ARE WE DOING" are just roaming around Ukraine.

Few informations obviously due to trolls, censors, misinformations can't swear that it is true for 100% or something.

In polish news today it was said that around 800 russian soldiers died in fighting, meanwhile today I was during a lecture where we were calling the 2 historian proffesors from Ukraine living in Charkov and the second in Mikołajów, the information they've got is that there were 3000 of russian soldiers who died.

Today on some hard/gore/live relation sites was posted a photo of Ukrainian soldiers who killed a specific russian soldier, he had As Val weapon which is only destined for special forces of russia as for example Spetsnaz.

Over 18k of weapons was given to citizens of Kyiev, there are also lines for volunteers in other cities to join forces to defend Ukraine, also had received from my buddies that some Ukrainians are actually going back from Poland to fight the enemy.

The gas station in Kharkiv was shot down by jet missiles.

As well as one of Ukrainian Mig jets shot down today in air battle the russian pilot.

Over 10k chechen soldiers are going to support russian invasion.

Citizens of few cities are leaving markings on street or trees to help their military to locate the position of enemy forces.

A tank ran over on purpose on a driving car, the man from inside survived and got out with help of witnesses.

In Achtyrka at Ukraine, russians shot missiles at kindergarden where the children were hiding from war, not confirmed how many civilians died cause of it.

Zelensky is autographing flags for Ukrainian soldiers.

Looks like his role is solely PR at this point. Probably for the best.

https://files.catbox.moe/fyv0wx.mp4

Poroshenko tells what kind of weaponry the Ukrainian militia can bring to bear against the Russian bear.

The biggest surprise is that he's apparently still there. Poroshenko should be glad that the Ukrainian state will be defunct by next week and so won't be able to try him for treason like it was planning.

That entire battalion. They have 4 anti-tank weapons in the entire battalion of 300 men.

Volkssturm at least had panzershercks for almost every man.

So Kyiv or Kiev's Volkssturm is infinitely worse than Germany's Volkssturm. And they only had Berlin, no other parts of Germany.

YH NATO would've only helped if Ukraine was part of it.

NATO is however preparing for all the refugees.

This wouldn't have happened if the west didn't have pathetic leaders who sat by and did nothing as the US was couping countries left and right.

A decleration of neutrality would be the best for now just like Zwitserland does.

now if only the leaders of the west get replaced and/or stop being pathetic and just start being energy indipendent and tough even on the US theb we can prevent this shit.

just look at France, that country is at least smart enough to NOT CLOSE DOWN ITS OWN NUCLEAR PLANTS and is working to get more of them like the Netherlands is trying.

Well, Chechnya is part of Russia (the Russian Federation as a country) so it makes sense to utilize Kadyrov's forces. He's proven over the years to be a reliable and ultra-loyal figure to Putin personally. In practice Chechnya has some local control and hands-off autonomy for their social policies and daily life and Russia by keeping them part of the country gets their resources - Chechen wines, human capital (in this case foot soldiers) etc. and security assurances like the ending of civil unrest, terrorism, and other armed threats to surrounding regions like Dagestan and Ingushetia.

In this case, it doesn't matter what the foot soldiers believe so long as they're capable and motivated. Russia also deployed Chechen military police in Aleppo in the Syrian intervention. Them being extremely socially conservative traditional Muslims or even hardcore militant Islamist theocrats is just fine from Moscow's vantage point - use their numbers and less ethnic Russian soldiers from western Russia dying that could cause more unease.

The Russian victory in the Second Chechen War proved strategically worth it to incorporate Chechnya into the fold as an asset and integral territory of the RF and vassalize its native leadership, and I think this Ukrainian adventure will also be looked back at in a similar way as beneficial or even necessary for Russia's long-term strategic outlook.

Kiev urbanites are going to be taken aback by Chechen shock troops if it comes to that.

Russia probing attacks to the south of the bridge were repulsed and they've moved up arty to the southern bank of the Dniepr. They've apparently been shelling Antonivka, which lies to the east of the city.

The Russians have secured the bridge into Antonivka and are advancing into the town.

https://t.me/suspilnekherson/8445

"After fierce fighting on the approaches to Kherson, despite the efforts of the Ukrainian army, lost control over the crossing to Kherson - Antonovsky bridge. The enemy with significant forces, but with great losses, overcame the defense of the city. Informs the head of the Kherson regional state administration."

I'm not sure about that, pro-migrant countries have already closed their borders to Ukrainian refugess because they are not diverse enough, such as Sweden.
Anyway there's no reason to be a refugee, the war will be over shortly, and they will be Russian Citizens instead of Ukrainian Citizens.

I guess the NATO meeting is probably an intel gathering and assessment of black ops in the area. This firefight is crazy reminds me of Fallujah.
