The Ukrainian army blew up a bridge northwest of the capital Kyiv to slow down and delay the crossing of a Russian tank battalion advancing towards the capital. Many inhabitants of the capital are evacuating #Kyiv towards the west.

#BreakingNews:
Zmiinyi Island (aka Snake Island), western Black Sea, is under #Russia/n forces total control, as confirmed by #Ukraine President.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is asking to negotiate with Russia.

Ukraine understands only now that it is on its own.

#Ukraine President Zelenskyy said he is still in #Kyiv but I expect him to leave sooner rather than later and war will stop.

You should read this to understand what is happening in #Ukraine and why:

Russian forces have seized control of the Chernobyl power plant in northern Ukraine, the site of the world's worst nuclear disaster.

The control of Chernobyl is so significant because it will contribute to surrounding the capital #Kyiv, an obvious Russian plan for the Ukrainian government to stand down.

Unconfirmed reports claim #Russia/n Tanks have reached the Obolon area, north of #Kyiv. Right or wrong, the capital will be surrounded soon.

#BreakingNews:

Authority announced that #Kyiv has taken a "defensive state" & asked all inhabitants to remain in their homes.

#Ukraine wld have never challenged #Russia w/o the #US support & encouragement, thinking the West will offer military support to stand against #Moscow.

The #US announced it has no intention to support #Ukraine but imposed sanctions, as @jeoBiden said, that #Russia will feel later (after the fall of Ukraine) the consequences.

This is the support the US offers: Die & w'll offer a good funeral for you.

Never trust the #USA.

The car driver survived the accident.

Watch out for the (fake) info on social media.

That's a Ukrainian Strela-10, and its driver was not paying attention so he drove over a car coming on the other side.

No "Russian Strella-10" in #Kyiv, no Russian in Kyiv city yet. The civilian driver survived.

For many people, #Russia was entering #Kyiv to occupy it with a single "Russian Strela-10". Impressive.

There is something called "the brain". A cutting-edge invention to be used occasionally.
