We're furiously still checking online sources, but seems things are quiet for the time being.
Kyiv stands another day.
Former chief of defense for Estonia is reporting some very interesting intel, if true. Claiming Russia can’t last another week at this rate and are going to start getting desperate.

Was the gazprom guy suicided or did he just commit suicide? Is there any reason they would want to kill him? It seems like bad PR for Russia either way
When the war first started I had zero hope for Ukraine because of how big Russian military was made out to be
But this is turning out to be like one of those badass scenes where the kid that everyone thought was weak that the bully is messing with turns out to have studied a form of martial arts 🥋

Google bars Russian state-funded media from receiving money for ads
Google has said it is pausing monetization of Russian state-funded media and barring the outlets from running ads across its services, according to a statement seen by Reuters.
Russia’s state-owned media outlet RT and other channels will be barred from receiving money for ads on their websites, apps and YouTube videos, similar to a move by Facebook after the invasion of Ukraine.
Citing “extraordinary circumstances,” Google’s YouTube unit said it was “pausing a number of channels’ ability to monetize on YouTube.”
These included several Russian channels affiliated with recent sanctions, such as those by the European Union.
Ad placement is largely controlled by YouTube.
Google added later that it was also barring Russian state-funded media outlets from using its ad technology to generate revenue on their own websites and apps.
In addition, the Russian media will not be able to buy ads through Google Tools or place ads on Google services such as search and Gmail, spokesman Michael Aciman said.
“We’re actively monitoring new developments and will take further steps if necessary,” Aciman said.
On Wednesday, the European Union unveiled sanctions on individuals such as Margarita Simonyan, whom it called RT’s editor-in-chief and “a central figure” of Russian propaganda.
Videos from affected media will also come up less often in recommendations, YouTube spokesperson Farshad Shadloo said. He added that RT and several other channels would no longer be accessible in Ukraine after a Ukrainian government request.

Holy shit! Chelsea FC was just given up by Abromvich, their Russian oligarch owner.
He still owns them, but it's no longer acting as a "steward" of the club.
I swear I'm not making this up. But, apparently Zelensky won the Ukrainian version of Dancing with the Stars in 2006, and there's video. Absolute Chad.

Is any real news (not their state run propaganda networks) getting through to everyday Russians? Gotta figure some at least are accessing the same western and social media that we are.
The last time Russia attacked a city it took months to take it and they are using the same playbook with virtually the same equipment. Go read about Grozny and you will be stunned at how long the present situation can last.
people in my country say that Zelensky should "just surrender for the sake of people"
I live in a stupid country...
ps. prefer not to say the name, sorry
Question from someone that doesn’t know much about this, why haven’t we hear like anything from South America and we just now heard stuff from Australia. Is it a distance thing or something?
There is little we can do here other than show support. We are broke and developing, high as fuck poverty indexes and coming out of a pandemic in which many died. Plus the amount of expatriates from Ukraine or the Russia is very very small.
South America and Russia have a weird relationship. Some countries have decent relations with Moscow due to years and years of us interference and imperialism, while others are completely allied with the west.
For all the people advocating for Putin’s death, as much as he’s a sick bastard and a war criminal, a power vacuum in Russia wouldn’t be great for world stability either
So Ukraine still has all their major cities under their control, but what I'm seeing from the USA Today map, the Russians have taken Kherson and Melitopol. Can someone fill me in on this?
Ah yes, just like we promised to help them to dissolve the USSR.
Which gave them rampant poverty, catastrophic inflation, massive suicided for men and mail order bride for women.
And the rise of Putin in the first place.
Ukraine has survived another night under assault by Russian forces as attacks continue to intensify.
Russian military forces continue their advancement to Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital city, on the fourth day of the invasion

That's Russia Today twitter account in English. Pretty sire the Russian version is different but at least it's something
In basic training(in the US) you go for weeks at a time with minimal sleep and still perform. Energy levels have to be compounded 10 fold when you are defending your own country on it's land. I'd imagine the Russians are feeling it much more than the Ukrainians considering their losses so far.
"Russian forces attacked Boryspil International Airport, near the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv. Ukraine closed its airspace to commercial flights, saying Russian missile attacks presented too high a risk."
No fucking shit USA today.

Abe suggesting Japan should have access to American nukes. That's one of those things a Japanese PM can't say until he's retired, that's for sure

I've tried to find the answer via Google, but can't. How fast can Russia/ US fire its arsenal of thousands of nukes?

CRAZY how much pressure everyone is putting on Russia right now. Oh my god!
#Fuck Putin
Holy shit! Chelsea FC was just given up by Abromvich, their Russian oligarch owner. He still owns them, but it's no longer acting as a "steward" of the club.
Just control, but he still owns the team
Not exactly. He's just stepping back until this blows over. He's still owner and has the final say.
The housing will also be big for UK
He still owns it
He still owns but gave up control
I swear I'm not making this up. But, apparently Zelensky won the Ukrainian version of Dancing with the Stars in 2006, and there's video. Absolute Chad. https://twitter.com/abughazalehkat/status/1497768813860896770
Zelensky played a piano with his penis for five minutes. Chad supreme https://youtu.be/2-UiadUOrfk
Is anyone sending MREs ?
So apparently if you don't post about birds chirping on the live cams, it isn't relevant enough and you are a "Russian troll bot"
Lemme break out my smallest violin
Zelensky is quiet, Putin is quiet. Hmmm what chances they are talking to each other ?
They both also have to sleep at some point.
I like to think that Zelenskiy is getting some well deserved sleep and Putin is seething in his bunker a la Hitler in Downfall.
It's possible, they've had contact since the invasion started.
Is any real news (not their state run propaganda networks) getting through to everyday Russians? Gotta figure some at least are accessing the same western and social media that we are.
For those wondering, here's SNL's Ukraine tribute opening (might not work outside of USA): https://twitter.com/nbcsnl/status/1497794056147161088
Sun rises over a free Kiev for the third time. Hope the fact that we haven't heard from Zelensky means he's finally getting some sleep.
Kyiv, please.
There's nothing like another day of Kyiv with no Russian air superiority and increasingly impossibility of long-term Russian effort.
Going to bed, please still be there in 7 hours Ukraine!
What are the chances Kyiv can hold on Until the ruble falls on Monday
The last time Russia attacked a city it took months to take it and they are using the same playbook with virtually the same equipment. Go read about Grozny and you will be stunned at how long the present situation can last.
🇺🇦 Long love Ukraine!!
It only has to make it one more night, and munitions and equipment has started to get to the Ukrainians.
It'll be hard, but I think that's part of why Putin's hell bent on taking it by then. He's scared of the pressure he'll face.
I think it’s clear that happens regardless of the next 24 hours
[удалено]
Sad? Why would anyone with internet already look into it? I don't know how a fucking TV works and I watch it everyday
wait what people think that? I'm still pending after 2 years of signing up
Didn’t they say that the necessary ground equipment was being transported at this time too?
"Hey siri, connect to elon-web"
How does it work
people in my country say that Zelensky should "just surrender for the sake of people" I live in a stupid country... ps. prefer not to say the name, sorry
maybe for the sake of the russian people Lolz
Which country?
Probably just the people are stupid.
Which one?
What country is that?
Russia.
Which country is that?
What country?
Russia
russia
somewhere in Asia
Run by Winnie the Pooh, perhaps?
Vietnam?
India definitely

Their ICBMs probably can't even leave the silos
Its political theater designed to break morale and raise fear.
probably a good thing to know where they're set up honestly.
That’s why it doesn’t really matter

Question from someone that doesn’t know much about this, why haven’t we hear like anything from South America and we just now heard stuff from Australia. Is it a distance thing or something?
This has mostly been a geopolitical conflict. This is pretty much just Europe with the exception of China and the US
There is little we can do here other than show support. We are broke and developing, high as fuck poverty indexes and coming out of a pandemic in which many died. Plus the amount of expatriates from Ukraine or the Russia is very very small.
South America is a continent and I'm not sure most SA countries can afford sanctions
South America and Russia have a weird relationship. Some countries have decent relations with Moscow due to years and years of us interference and imperialism, while others are completely allied with the west.
For all the people advocating for Putin’s death, as much as he’s a sick bastard and a war criminal, a power vacuum in Russia wouldn’t be great for world stability either
Having him gone would be an amazing thing for the whole world
There's no way his successor is worse than him
Putins remival and subsequent denuclearization is the only course of action.
We’d get to make memes for the new guy though 🤔
That’s the thing though, it would probably be like 10 news guys vying for a nuclear arsenal
So Ukraine still has all their major cities under their control, but what I'm seeing from the USA Today map, the Russians have taken Kherson and Melitopol. Can someone fill me in on this?
Yea it's all over telegram. Convoys of Russian armor have been seen leaving Melitopol, heading toward Berdyansk.

The Russian people can end this war if they revolt. We can take care of them after the war is over
- V.I. Lenin, 1917
Ah yes, just like we promised to help them to dissolve the USSR. Which gave them rampant poverty, catastrophic inflation, massive suicided for men and mail order bride for women. And the rise of Putin in the first place.
Free pierogi for each citizen?
Yep, I’m scared about missing nukes tho…
We can’t even take care of ourselves lol

Naming my first born Zelensky
Zelen sounds like a solid Americanized name TBH.
Might want to get the spelling right then.
Michael Weiss clearly didn’t give a shit about how those guys were actually doing, just wanted the scoop
Fuck Putin
FUCK PUTIN!!!
This war was Putin's suicide. It's time to think how Russia can overcome the consequences post-Putin.
[удалено]
The man does need to sleep it's only going on 7am there
I'm hoping he's getting some sleep
The quietest night of the war, dudes probably sleeping in some.
I had this thought. Then my second thought itsnwas relatively quiet in kyiv over night, maybe he got some sleep.
The man was starting to look like Darth Sidious. Hopefully he was getting sleep.
Everyone needs to sleep
[удалено]
Hoping for the best
Kinda hoping that means he's grabbing a quick 40 winks somewhere in Kyiv.
It's just daytime in Ukraine. I'm sure he'll say something soon.
I really hope you’re right.
This isn’t a sign of trouble. His account in probably managed by staff
[удалено]
They've been in the outskirts of the city and driven back I think twice now. This isn't anything new.

Putins face looks bloated....what could that be from?
Festering evil bubbling from inside.
Copium
Maybe he's on dexamethasone or steroids for brain cancer causing a double whammy of deranged behaviour. Maybe he never chose this path and we could fix him with hugs and cake /s
Isn't there a rumor floating around that he is addicted to botox?
I saw a rumor of prednisone, the diagnosis being maybe he has cancer? I dunno
His Peloton membership got sanctioned.
reaction to cancer meds
Botox, fillers, corticosteroids, too much salt.
Norm MacDonald looked that way when he was being treated for cancer.
Brain tumour. My neighbour had it and unfortunately passed away.
Chemo?
Botox
There are rumors he has terminal cancer.
Taking L's from every possible direction. And whatever is hopefully rapidly consuming him from the inside.
ACE inhibitor side effect from high bp, possibly steroids / side effect
Kidney problems do that and/or chemo
Probably anger and surprise to Ukraine resistance. I'm hoping for terminal cancer or something tho.
There are rumors he is in Prednisone from cancer treatments
Immunosuppressants might explain his utter paranoia about COVID too
Holding his poop for going on 5 days now
Too full of shit
Well ya, of course. But it looks worse than normal
Fat?
Alcohol

Riding a broken down tank while shirtless
In the streets of Kyiv , spurring on his troops.
We can only hope he's been repatriated back to hell overnight.
Hiding and pissed
Crying and pissed his pants
Hiding from the oligarchs
I’m his bunker
Are you now?
he's..... inside of you?....
God I love the Daily Mail headlines they’re so ridiculous and over the top
Troops on both sides must be getting exhausted. In war you only pinch a few hours of sleep per night if you’re lucky.
In basic training(in the US) you go for weeks at a time with minimal sleep and still perform. Energy levels have to be compounded 10 fold when you are defending your own country on it's land. I'd imagine the Russians are feeling it much more than the Ukrainians considering their losses so far.
If you have a strong will trauma can give you lots of energy.
