Putin did not only underastimated Ukraine's fighting capabilities but also European/global unity.
There is so much news going on, not going to write it all up but...Russia is getting dumped into a black pit.
The Kremlin needs to get rid of him, realease Alexei Navalny and make him as president. Unfortunately, he faces an extra 15 years prison time with the help of Putin.

West to cut some Russian banks off from Swift.The EU, US and their allies have agreed to cut off a number of Russian banks from the main international payment system, Swift.
The assets of Russia's central bank will also be frozen, limiting Russia's ability to access its overseas reserves.
The intention is to "further isolate Russia from the international financial system", a joint statement said.
Russia is heavily reliant on the Swift system for its key oil and gas exports.
The joint sanctions are the harshest measures imposed to date on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.

Sanctions always hurt both sides. Need to be careful not to shoot yourself in the foot. "targeted" SWIFT restrictions sounds like BS talk to appease the masses “At the same time, we are working flat out on how to limit the collateral damage of a disconnection from #SWIFT so that it hits the right people. What we need is a targeted and functional restriction of SWIFT." https://twitter.com/germanyintheeu/status/1497629293937049606?s=20&t=Y6In-oQI9lj9gA1sz5xrKgYeah, likely BS. SWIFT disconnection is the financial equivalent of nukes. China will help Rus, China has found itself walking a diplomatic tightrope after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine took many in Beijing by surprise.
It was reported today that several Chinese public banks are limiting financing to purchase raw materials from Russia for fear of Western sanctions should they be seen to be supporting the Kremlin.
About 30 percent of oil and gas produced in Russia now sold to China.
Putin is relying on his ties to China's Xi Jinping to bail him out of the increasingly tough sanctions being put on Moscow by Western nations as the invasion escalates.
Last night, China, India and the UAE abstained from voting on a UN Security Council resolution condemning Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine.
The vote was seen as another sign of the widening of the diplomatic split between the West and the East over Putin's aggression.
However, China's decision not to fully veto the motion - as Russia did - will come as a blow to the Russian dictator, who is growing increasingly isolated. |

Russia is probably getting kicked out of SWIFT. Not so sure about the swift thing, Germany is against it, they can't pay for their gas if they can't use swift. Cyprus, Hungary, France, Italy and Greece agreed, all eye's are on Berlin now to negotiate to figure it out. Even Germany made the shift, instead of sending only 5000 helmets they gave the green light to send anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons. Lot's of countries showing solidarity sending equipment, Ukraine is getting armed to the teeth. |

If Finland joins, Sweden will not hesitate to do the same and there is one reason for it; they are getting sick and tyred from Russian aggression. |

I don't play games but Vikings: Valhalla released today on Netflix, going to watch some episodes tonight. First show was great until they killed the main character Ragnar to early which was disappointing. |

Ukraine’s military is showing strong resistance, it will be hilarious if this turns out to be another Afghanistan 2.0.
War is never hilarious, imagine if you were in Ukraine right now. The only way forward is peace. I think it was wrong of Ukraine to bomb Donbas for the past 8 years, and it was wrong of Russia to declare war, nothing good will come from this. Russians where forced to retreat in Afghanistan because they couldn't win that war, Poetin will be even more bitter if he loses this campaign and losing face when he needs to do that, that's what i mean with 'hilarious'. |

Normal Russian people somehow supported taking out Donesk and Lushansk but what Putin did today was unacceptable, they changed their opinion and support against him including lots of senior officials. (Valkyrie 2.0?) Thankfully with social media they know what really happend over there so they don't bite the state controled media broadcasting 24/7 propaganda. With comming sanctions those people will suffer, Putin and his inner circle doing all they can to stop the protests. |
