Ukraine

Word from multiple news services is that Putin announced "denazification" operations.

As if he wasn't probably backing the Azov Battalion all along to muddy the waters.

NBC News is reporting bombing of Kyiv and we have Twitter accounts of explosions over Kharkiv.

Dammit.

So this is how I get to go to bed tonight. Do I get to wake up tomorrow?

Or will Putin have an answer for Justin Trudeau's refusal to be overthrown this past week overnight?

Yeah, I've been freaking out too.

Trouble has surely started. I wish I knew how far things will go. On the other hand, perhaps it’s better that the future is hidden from us.

I can't even take it. It doesn't seem real except I know people there.

...yeah...

The whole situation is horrible. I pray for the end of hostilities as soon as possible but with Putin I'm really afraid.

You won't believe it, but we ourselves didn't believe that such a thing was possible until the last moment. We have someone here who unexpectedly decided to become Napoleon (or Alexander the Great [or a parody of both of them]). But, still, why should ordinary people die in this war because of his personal ambitions?..

I can and do believe that many of your countryfolk were indeed shocked and horrified at the news when it broke. I've been reading multiple accounts, interviews with various people who share your opinion, and reports of what they're doing about it. It heartens me even as I worry for their safety.
