Two Ukrainian soldiers were killed in action; five more were wounded in action.

#RussiaInvadedUkraine exactly 8 years ago.
Particularly cynical was the attack by the Russians on the civilian "safe crossing" checkpoint at Shchastya. The aggressors opened fire three times from mortars and automatic anti-tank grenade launchers.

Russian occupation forces in the east of Ukraine committed a war crime.
As of 07:00 on February 20th, Russian forces invading Ukraine opened fire on defenders 8 times, shelling near Krasnohorivka, Avdiivka, Hranitne, Starohnativka, Luhanske, Opytne and Pisky. All these settlements are in Donetsk oblast.

I live in downtown Ottawa. I experience and understand that what's going on here is a titushki rent-a-mob attack.

I know about the 2014 "Russian tourist" attack on Luhansk in detail. I was communicating with a Luhansk resident daily from the moment the SBU building was occupied.
In Luhansk, Russia-backed active measures – an invasion by outsiders – started with an attack on a peaceful pro-Ukraine rally. Then the SBU building was occupied – organized and led by agents provocateurs. Then the border station was attacked. Then Luhansk airport was destroyed.
It doesn't matter what the members of the titushki rent-a-mob say they want. All that matters is what they do, which is a manifestation of what the organizers and funders really want.

The purpose of these attacks is the overthrow of the government by non-democratic means.

Well-funded mobs are being directed to attack Canadian cities, notably Ottawa. This is a Chekist active measure of titushki rent-a-mobs, similar in nature to the “Russian tourist” attacks on Ukrainian cities in March-April 2014 – the first months of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Do-nothing Canadian officials ignore the experience Ukrainians have with hybrid warfare. They don’t know that the way to defeat titushki rent-a-mobs is to hit them hard, hit them early, and most of all take away their money.
The Government of Canada should use the Emergencies Act to defeat hybrid warfare ongoing in Canadian cities. But it may be too late. Areas like Parliament Hill in Ottawa are occupied by a titushki rent-a-mob – lawless and outside government control.

As many as 2000 more titushki will join the rent-a-mob this weekend to bolster the attack on the people of Ottawa. As many as 1000 "take back our city" defenders will confront them, given that the authority of civic officials has collapsed.
The people of Ottawa, Canada's capital, are under assault by a sponsored mob of outsiders. A Chekist active measure is being executed against my city.

The attack on Ottawa has frightening parallels with the invasion of Luhansk and Donetsk, Ukraine, by "Russian tourists" in 2014.
In Ottawa, Parliament Hill and surrounding blocks in Centretown are no longer government-controlled. The laws of Canada and city bylaws don't apply there. The heart of the capital is in the hands of the titushki rent-a-mob.
