While privileged young people in America express their outrage at microaggressions in the workplace because someone used the wrong pronoun, the youth of Kyiv are gathering in bunkers to make Molotov cocktails.

Reality sets in on Ukraine as a cameraman films a Russian ripping off a Ukrainian banner from a building and laying it on the ground. This is symbolically hurtful and frightening to the Ukrainians who have known independence since 1991.

According to The Hill, Russia is claiming they have occupied Melitopol, Ukraine:
Russia’s defense ministry on Saturday claimed that it had captured the southeastern Ukrainian city of Melitopol after conducting overnight strikes, Reuters reported.
The Russian defense ministry said that dozens of artillery vehicles, tanks and multiple aircraft had been destroyed and that Russian forces also attacked hundreds of military infrastructure targets, though Reuters noted it could not immediately reach officials from Ukraine for confirmation.
The defense ministry noted that the overnight strikes were conducted by ship- and air-based cruise missiles, according to the newswire.
Reports indicate that Kyiv is close to being captured.
A 64km-long (39.76 miles) Russian military convoy sits outside Kyiv, ready to close in.
You can see it on satellite imagery:
Maxar Technologies provided the images. The images show densely-packed military vehicles in some sections of the convoy with 2-3 vehicles in each row. Some vehicles were spaced apart. The convoy is expected to encircle Kyiv and lay siege.
JOKE OF A NEWS SERVICE, CBS
While Ukraine is under siege, CBS is worried about transgenderism. What a craptastic news service. We are sorry for this person, but CBS is WOKE and a JOKE.
Transgender acceptance in Ukraine is not widespread, and changing legal documents to match gender requires a long process with psychiatric examinations. CBS News spoke with one woman in Kyiv who is now battling a “war within a war” amid Russia’s invasion https://t.co/DJ6vFwmLuR pic.twitter.com/7Qp4eTCGMt

WOKES PROMISED HELP
Where is the help the EU promised? They only accepted Ukraine’s application to the EU which is more symbolic than anything. Oh well, like good leftists, they can hold memorials with candles, photos of the dead, and songs composed just for them and their country, lost to an occupier.
We don’t want war, but they did promise weaponry.
KYIV TODAY
A Holocaust memorial site was bombed in Kyiv amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Tuesday, The Hill reports The Babyn Yar Holocaust memorial site in Kyiv honors the estimated 70,000 to 100,000 people who died between 1941 and 1943 during the Holocaust by the Nazis at Babyn Yar, according to the memorial center. The center said that most of its Jewish population in Kyiv died during that period.
“To the world: what is the point of saying «never again» for 80 years, if the world stays silent when a bomb drops on the same site of Babyn Yar? At least 5 killed. History repeating…” Zelensky tweeted.

But, but, but… There’s “no” Nazi problem in Ukraine. Which country has more Nazis, the US or Ukraine. One has to wonder if Zelensky is clueless. He certainly isn’t an observant Jew and possibly wasn’t raised that way either.

Some may be having second thoughts. In this “economic war” assumptions are it may lead to wide defaults.

UnBElievable. The French sure didn’t appreciate a Ukrainian woman’s comments.

Listen to this Frenchman make “light” of journalists being assassinated. It happens elsewhere, but Ukraine good.

Let’s not talk about recent history, like the overthrow of the Government.

Word of a convoy for civilians to safely exit.
Speaking of convoys, might be a chance to cheer on the Trucker Freedom Convoy.
You mean vodka pouring, hashtags and unfriending Putin didn’t save Ukraine?
Did they try SpongeBob or maybe a scary looking transgender will frighten Pooty Poot.
India has shown that convoy. They showed it and then scrolled across and scrolled and scrolled. It is certainly massive.
I don’t know where to find more information. It was describing actions Zelensky took shortly after his election. From that report it sure appeared he was no different than Poroshenko, even After all the promises made.
It may not be pleasant but maybe it’s chicken coming home to roost. There were numerous attacks on the Donbass killing civilians, including women and very young children, shelling hospitals and apartments. If Zelensky decided to continue in Poroshenko’s shoes he may have unwittingly brought this on himself. It sure seems, at this point, that Putin isn’t targeting the general population as was done in the Donbass.
It’s unfortunate in that it seems Zelensky isn’t capable of trying to find a way out of this. He’s being hit from all sides by a military with a great deal more power and experience and all he can do is being rhetorical.
Apparently the Biden administration had told him, essentially, that he “had his back”. What utter stupidity if true. If this is what Zelensky is hoping for by increasing the volume and also asking for military support, he may be signalling his own demise. There comes a point in time when you have to consider the long term for the people you serve. That certainly doesn’t mean arming helpless civilians. That begs the question; Does he want a slaughter for publicity reasons. It seems the case with those at Snake Island, as one from there has said.
It’s sad to see but maybe Zelensky, being inexperienced, is much to similar to Biden. It’s time he realizes the West has been using Ukraine for far too long for their own purposes. He should reconsider the Minsk accords before it’s too late and it all ends in a massive disaster.
