Thank you @EL for keeping up with everything and then writing about it so informatively! Managed to get behind reading this blog, but so appreciate everyone’s timeliness!
Did want to make a brief comment, even if late to the party. I think it’s rich for Russia (Putin) to cry “sabotage,” for incidents in Crimea when they had no business being there in the first place! Absolutely love Ukraine’s "violation of fire safety rules” reply regarding cigarettes. Getting Russians illegally occupying Crimea out at long last reminds me of the phrase, "don't let the door hit you on the way out!"
What an incredible turn of events! Of all the unforeseen turns, Ukraine is seizing the axe out of the invader's hand and hitting him with it, going on the offence instead of remaining on the defence, and forces the invader to attend to another vulnerable flank. One hopes the West fully realises what an opportunity this invasion has provided to weaken Putin, and what a debt it owes to the courage of Ukraine's people. TC
