After Russia’s initial push to quickly take Kyiv and other major Ukrainian cities failed, the invasion force seems to have settled on a new strategy involving heavy attacks on Ukrainian centers of resistance.
It’s an approach that, so far, has been hitting both civilian and military targets. Reports say was a Russian cruise missile struck Kharkiv’s central administrative building on Tuesday, as the city faced barrages of artillery and rocket bombardment in residential areas and on Ukrainian military positions.
Satellite images show a nearly forty-mile long convoy of Russian armored vehicles and equipment on the northern highway that runs from Belarus to Kyiv. Ukrainian defenders have managed to hold back assaults on the capital and on Kharkiv in recent days, but have lost ground as Russian troops encircle the southern city of Mariupol on the Sea of Azov, and reportedly stormed the central city of Kherson early Tuesday morning.
With sanctions imposed, Russia is now reacting. On Tuesday, it banned foreign companies from exiting investments in Russian enterprises. We’ll be following along throughout the day as the situation develops.

Col. Vindman thinks the initial Ukraine resistance and the onerous economic sanctions has humiliated Putin to the point where he is doubling down and wll ferociously attack Kyiv and Kharkiv next in the same manner he attacked cities in Checnya using heavy artillery and cluster bombs.
These attacks on civilians are crimes against humanity and should be charged and tried at the Hague. Putin must be content with never leaving Russia again, because if he does, Interpol will be required to grab him and imprison him. I hope they have small enough hand cuffs for his soulless cruel little man wrists. Hopeless narcissism is pathetic - SAD !!
How quickly can this process be speeded up? Days? Weeks?
Just maintain sanctions on Russia until Putin and his entire regime are delivered to The Hague.
That will get him.
I think we can all agree that Putin is the good guy here. I mean, he’s rescuing all of these poor Ukrainian women and children from their oppressive Nazi government by killing them all.
You can’t be oppressed by an evil government if you’re dead, Right?
Yeah, I think Putin might very well go down as one of the most heroic saints of the entire 21st century for this.
Western intelligence agencies report Putin just ordered his table extended from 30’ long to 60’ long.
(A couple more days of humiliating setbacks like these, and half of Russia may be deforested.)
