INVASION OF UKRAINE

 NEWS :: UPDATE

In case you thought I had been rather quiet here on the current state of the invasion of Ukraine

this . . . . . .overnight I had expected Kiev might fall but reports suggest the Ukrainians are still holding on

I have noticed the casualties on both sides were odd and heard no explanantion but as of the first 24/48 hours reports said about 137-150 Ukrainian casualties and many injured but . . . . . . . over 450 Russian casualties!? Nearly four times as many!

No-one explained why and there seems to be little evidence other than Reuters and the BBC but as of this morning reports are that the death toll of Ukranains is in excess of 200 . . . . . there has been the suggestion this a conservative estimate. No figures were given of Russian casualties.

Here, there is this from the Ukranian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy

worth sharing as he has asked . . . . . . 

“Who can prevent all this from happening? The people. Public figures, journalists, musicians, actors, athletes, scientists, doctors, bloggers, stand-ups, Tiktokers, and more. Ordinary people. Ordinary, simple people… I know that my speech will not be aired on Russian television. But the citizens of Russia have to see it. They need to know the truth.”

Stop The War In Ukraine!
