— EDIT: Reports of smoke rising from Russian embassy in Kiev, the source is a Ukrainian anti-Russian account and claims they’re burning paperwork. However, all that can be seen is a smoky chimney — it’s 5c in Kiev.

That looks like smoke from something being burned. It's an ominous sign.

Zelensky is proving to be pretty calm and composed..
Too calm and composed.

Mast ram masti mein, aag lage basti mein.

He should be making statements like "invasion imminent", and calling the reserves atleast. Hes running around doing sab changa si when his forces have next to no chance of standing up to an invasion in their current shape and form.

He's in a very tight bind. If he mobilizes Ukraine then he will give Russia a pretext to invade by giving Russia the excuse to claim that Ukraine is planning on retaking Donbass by force.

I think Ukraine government has ordered a silent mobilization. You can see it from the civilian trainings. What Zelensky is not doing is openly declare their preoaratiin so as not to give Russia an excuse to invade.

That way even if Russia invade Ukraine can claim that they have not done anything to provoke a Russian invasion.

Territorial defense around major Ukranian cities is already organized.. Mobilizing reserves, and shouting about an imminent Russian invasion, does not make sense for Ukraine..
I had read a brilliant post about what Ukraine is facing.. As per the article, Russia has been playing a long game here, and a full invasion is only the last option for Russia, and a costly one at that..Mobilizing reserves and creating panic will only harm the already weak Ukraine economy, and sow political divisions, since, high readiness levels cannot be maintained for long.. At the same time, Ukraine also faces Russian efforts to aggravate Ukranian political division.. Russia would like to see a broken Ukraine, with its spirits lost, due to constant pressure, and which would then follow Moscow's diktats.. Only if the above scenario fails, will Russia commit to a full invasion..
So, for Zelensky to go to invasion mode, let Putin Mama commit to invasion first...:megusta:
