Honestly I'm shocked he went for Odessa right off the bat.  Even the people who were predicting the worse case scenario-a maximalist invasion-didn't think the would attack so many cities at once. And yeah, while Odessa is somewhat close to Crimea, most everyone thought he would be sticking east of the Dnieper river. There have been murmurings that he might go for Moldova considering Transnistria, etc. and when you considered that he attacked Odessa-and it's proximity to Moldova-well I wouldn't be shocked if we hear the people in Transnistria have attacked Moldova (proper) tomorrow.

And now it's being widely reported Belarusian troops have joined in with Russian troops. I guess Luka has given up all pretenses and basically is fine with showing he's Putin's b*tch right now.

Edited: So now they are saying the troops are not on the ground in Odessa (or at least it's not officially confirmed). But Odessa is being bombed a lot, and Russian troops are on the ground in other areas.

Is this due to the cyber attack? That way people have no way to really communicate...therfore more confusion and panic?

Good god I can't imagine being around this

I'm sitting outside with my dog and a helicopter flew over while scrolling through the #Ukraine tag on Twitter. It spooked me.

I hope everyone is safe but people need to stop calling it WW3

Russia's ally Belarus is reportedly getting involved as well now.

(This doesn't necessarily mean only Belarussian troops are coming from the country though as Russia has troops there too.)

If they're using Belarus as a staging ground for part of their invasion than sanctions need to be slapped on them too.

This was inevitable 

Where do we go from here then? How will we stop Russia?

i can't stop crying this is so terrible. i am so upset and disturbed and scared

[LilyLark 8,740]

Welp. Now they've gone after a city that is around 60 miles (100km) from the Polish border...people had moved to Lviv (which is a bit closer) as they thought it was the safest area and the general consensus was the Western areas near Poland were going to be okay even if an invasion occurred. This isn't Lviv (it's Lutsk) but the point is that Lviv might be next...

Ikr?

I can "understand" (not really but it at least makes tactical sense) bombing airports and sh*t but they're dropping missiles into neighborhoods.

There's a military invasion and then there's human rights violations. Killing civilians, especially with some of the weapons he's using, is off the table.

If Russia and Belarus aren't sanctioned to the point of economic collapse for this or Putin isn't held accountable, the little faith I had in humanity is GONE.

Stop kissing this lunatic's ass.

Oh god this is terrible. Even after all the buildup I’m still kinda shocked it’s actually happening
