Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has just signed a decree ordering a general mobilisation.

All the country's conscripts and reservists are being called up, according to the decree, which is to be in effect for 90 days.

All Ukrainian men aged between 18 to 60 are now banned from leaving the country, Ukraine's state border guard service (DPSA) says.

It adds the measure is aimed at "guaranteeing Ukraine's defence and the organisation of timely mobilisation".

The temporary ban will remain in force for the duration of martial law declared on Thursday morning.

Lot of Ukrainians are going to die...and for what? Do they think it won't be in vain? It's for a good cause?
 
More than 1,700 people have been arrested during anti-war protests across dozens of cities in Russia, an independent monitor reports.

More than 900 were arrested in Moscow and over 400 in Saint Petersburg, according to OVD-Info, which tracks arrests at opposition rallies.

Thousands gathered near Pushkin Square in central Moscow, while up to 1,000 people gathered in the former imperial capital Saint Petersburg, the AFP news agency reports.

"No to war" was spray-painted on the front gate of the Russian parliament's lower house.
 
ll day long the Russian troops have been trying to take over an airfield at Hostomel, on the northern outskirts of the Ukrainian capital.
This airfield is of strategic importance: if captured it could become a springboard for the Russian army into Kyiv.

Judging from verified videos, at least two Russian helicopters were shot down over it. Journalists from CNN filmed a group of Russian paratroopers landing there while the Bellingcat investigative website said it had intelligence that 18 war planes with reinforcements were heading towards it from Russia.

Later in the evening it became clear that a heavy battle for Hostomel was raging and Ukrainian forces were using both airstrikes and artillery.
By 11pm Kyiv time (21:00 GMT) an official statement was released, saying that the airfield was back in the Ukrainian hands.

Putin just held a meeting with his most important oligarchs today. It’s a very helpful gathering for giving us the list of who needs to be sanctioned

Saw pictures on MSNBC today showing at least a couple thousand protesting in Moscow. So either they selected a few to arrest (likely) or these folks came out after the arrests (less likely).

I saw the video... those folk have balls. However, arrest isn't what I had in mind as making an example of. I fervently hope I'm wrong.

I'm sorry those selfish Ukrainians are ruining your fantasy of Russian troops being welcomed with flowers while you own the libs and their pathetic MSM, but some people think it's important to defend themselves against brutal attack. Forgive them.

One way to stop a brutal attack is to surrender

Too bad you weren't available to inform Churchill of that strategy.

Another way to stop a brutal attack is to win.

Is Ukraine going to win?

Is it like the Powerball? Chance of winning, and the price for the ticket is tens of thousands of lives?

Everybody is going to lose. The question is: How badly is your side going to lose?
By capitulating and giving in to all enemy demands, you lose dignity and self-worth. You may find this attractive, many don't.

Lauren Witzke, the Delaware GOP's candidate for Senate in 2020, has nothing but praise for Putin and "his Christian nationalist nation": "I identify more with Putin's Christian values than I do with Joe Biden."

The insanity of it, Putin and Dump are not Christians by any stretch of the definition. Whereas Biden has been a practicing Catholic for decades.

I suppose what the idiot means is Dump put SCOTUS justices on the court who the hope of these imbeciles is will overturn Roe.

I have no idea what the status of abortions is in Russia and I'm not interested enough to look.
