Kyiv, Ukraine – Ukraine civilian fighters and residents in the capital are preparing for a major attack as Russian forces surround the city with troops and artillery just kilometres away.

There are civilian fighters who are ready to attack Russian troops but when they are killed by Russian troops, they are not considered as fighters but civilians only.

These people are defending their homes from aggressors. Who gives a f@@@ what they are called. Their deaths are on Putin.

Vladimir Putin's will surely fail woefully on his bad and negatives plans for all over the world just because of his hatred for United States of America, and America nahhh your great grandfathers almost on everything's


United States of America and the west countries are definitely coming for you Vladimir Putin just watch and see

Glad to see a babe talking politics smiley

Let me tell u small...

United States came about as a result of overpopulation in England... hence they (the British) committed genocide in North America against over 200 tribes and took it over. Same as Australia and Canada all colonised by the British...an evil seed cannot bear good fruit...hence Russia is more morally upright than USA and England

Ukraine is big. If Russia takes Kyiv, the Ukrainian will just regroup in another city.
they can regroup West of kyiv. Lyiv most likely. Russia don't even consider that part as Ukraine. That area used to be Poland. If you check the maps you will see that Russians are only concerned with Kyiv eastwards down to Russia. People even fled to the Lyiv because that side is very quiet. I heard that's where the president is hiding in a bunker

Croatia’s Prime Minister slams the EU and NATO for its slow reaction to the Ukrainian drone strike:

“This was a pure and clear threat and both NATO and the EU should have reacted because a Ukrainian TU-141 drone crashed in Croatian capital Zagreb after it flew for almost 2 hrs inside NATO airspace”
NATO defence system have been called to question by Hungary and Croatia PMs.

All Russia need to do now is link main Russia to Russia troops stationed in Modolva hereby making Ukraine landlocked

Shebi some say na lack of food, fuel and logistics keep Russia convoy for dia?

Satellite images taken on Thursday by a United States-based company indicated the 64km-long (40 miles) Russian army convoy – stationed outside Kyiv for nearly two weeks – has dispersed around the capital, possibly preparing for a full-out attack.

Just imagine Putin fanboys hating America, please if truly you hate them then tell your government to stop borrowing money from USA and IMF,go to Russia to get funds instead.
Ingrates,if not for USA and China I wonder where Africa especially Nigeria would have been by now, without borrowing from the said west they can't survive nothing.
USA is not in any way responsible for Nigeria's problem,better understand that now,play your role in developing Nigeria you say no,you rather hate on West all day.

your thinking is so little , how do you think the Russians stand now in Ukraine, they walked in or they put the soldiers to sleep and walked over them ? The ukrainians lost lots of men ,the media is hiding this and you judge like they want you to , blindly

Thank you, I am still surprised how russian army would advance to the kyiv without killing any soldier yet the media is not reporting anything about their casualties. Smh.

Nice anylysis, but i dont think the Russians are slow, maybe they were careful, took America over 30 day to conquer Iraq .
mach7:
The objective of this operation was never about Kiev. The pressure on Kiev is to force a political concession from the Ukrainian government with regards to Crimea and the Donbass.

The real objectives in no particular order seem to be

1. Liberation of the Donbass up their original borders
2. Demilitarization and Degrading of Ukraine's military capabilities.
3. Relieving the Siege of Crimea - through unblocking of the canals and linking it to the Dnieper river. That's why they took Kherson city.
4. Creating a land bridge from Crimea through Donbass all the way to Rostov in Russia. This is why conquering Mariupol is key.
5. Extending the land bridge westwards from Crimea to Odessa by conquering Mykolaiv, which was a major shipyard in Soviet times. Doing this will effectively deprive Ukraine from access to the sea and make it a landlocked country.
6. Destroy the Azov Battalion in Donbass. They are all now in Mariupol. Those in Volnovakha have been killed or surrendered.
7. Capture all Nuclear powerplants in Ukraine - to prevent Ukraine from having access to materials to create weapons.

All of the above objectives are largely being achieved albeit slowly due to resistance.

The attacks on Kharkiv, Sumy, Chernihiv and other cities in the North are to tie down Ukrainian forces and prevent them from coming to the South.

Seems you've watched too much of 300 and Brave Heart movies.
Did you know Ukraine needed foreign loans in 2014, EU could only offer $838 million while Ukraine must still change their constitution and laws, but Russia offered $15 billion, discounted gas prices and no changes to laws?!
Did you know Nigeria increased VAT to 7.5%, increased electricity tariff, fuel price, and devalued the Naira because of the requirements of IMF for the loans they borrowed us?
Why do you think gain Forex from selling crude oil but lose a large part of it by importing back refined petroleum? Did you know that if we start exporting refined oil instead of crude oil, the global price of crude oil will go up, and then the Dollar will go down?
I'm not a supporter of either Russia or the west. But they are not better than each other. They are just doing check and balance for themselves.

If Putin enters Kyiv, he has won the war. If the Ukrainians preserve Kyiv, they are the ones who have won the war. Kyiv is the key to this war. Make Kyiv the new Stalingrad.

It depends on what you mean by winning. Putin may overthrow the government, install a puppet regime, but he will never be able to win the hearts and minds of the Ukrainians. The puppet government will never be able to gain legitimacy in the eyes of Ukrainians and of the world. And most importantly, the Ukrainians will never give up the fight for freedom. The best case for Putin is to install a puppet government and be prepared to fight guerrilla warfare for years while suffering the sanctions from the West. This will finally cripple Russia.
Putin can never win this war. He was clearly Ill- advised , but he won’t back down because of his ego. Putin don enter once chance.

No, they are not ready to attack Russian soldiers. Rather, they are ready to defend their land against the Russian invaders. Russia are the ones doing the attacking here.

Again read about The Committee Of 300 and Know why I always talk about Queen Elizabeth Of England and always call her Murderous Queen
In other words, based on the history of colonialism the Queen of England has a right to modify the constitution of Nigeria?

Of course not. Civilian deaths refers to those who are not combatants in any way.

So why are there still many of these CIVILIANS in an active war zone if they can't fight? It took Russia a long time with plenty damages to get close to Kyiv. Why is a woman with dislocated hip and a lady with her 3 year old still there?!!!!

You are a tactical illiterate! Russia does not need Kyiv except for bragging rights and propaganda purposes, the key area of Ukraine that is of importance to Russia, which is ethnically Russian just like Crimea..........Kyiv is ethnically Ukrainian and is not contiguous to Russia,Eastern Ukrain shares a boundary with Russia.........Russian objective is to make eastern Ukraine an independent state.........and link the new Russian country to Crimea via a land bridge.Consult your Ukrain map! 85% of the fight is at eastern Ukraine!
