As with all breaking news, there is need for confirmation. However, this woman has been posting some incredible up-to-the-minute news from Ukraine that has been accurate so far.

This is terrifying.

1. Sanction and bankrupt them too.

2. I would be scared shitless if I was on that transport plane. Nothing like announcing they're

coming too.

3. Her stream says that fighter jets from EU were launched an hour ago (or so)

Hoping they will be able to protect Ukraine.

4. And we have the 2nd nation in the new Axis.

We need to get serious on sanctions if we're to divert another world war. History shows us what happens when we delay. It is well past time we start hitting Russia's top exports - Oil and gas.

Peace in our time is a shorthanded way to describe all the failings that lead to WWII. I wonder, what will the history books say about our failings in the leadup to WWIII? Gas for our cars?

5. There have been anti-war protests around Belarus, according to Reuters

They just had a so-called referendum in which supposedly more than 60% of voters approved giving up the nation's non-nuclear status.

Reuters said the results "sparked anti-war protests in several cities. At least 290 people were detained, rights activists said."

It will be interesting to see what happens next there. The referendum also gives lifetime immunity from prosecution to President Lukashenko once he leaves office.

6. Hoping that he will leave office soon, without needing immunity

Belarusian people need to give him the Ceaucescu treatment.

[okaawhatever]

8. A Constitutional referendum was passed yesterday in Belarus, giving him lifetime immunity, giving up

non-nuclear status, and allowing Belarus to permanently host nukes and Russian troops. Bummer...

[bahboo]

7. if true...punch them in the face with sanctions....immediately....
