NEW - An oil depot in the city of Vasilkov near Kyiv has been hit by a Russian missile causing extensive damage.

#UkraineRussiaWar #UkraineCrisis #RussiaUkraineConflict #russianinvasion
2/ More footage showing the inferno at Vasilkov oil depot following a Russian attack this evening.

#UkraineRussiaWar #RussiaUkraineConflict
This is what the residents of Vasilkov can see. The fumes given off by that fire will be extremely toxic.

I'd you know anyone there or someone who can spread a message, tell them to shut all doors and windows or better still, if safe, get upwind of the fire.

Ukrainian President Zelensky has shown how effective digital media can be.

His continuous updates & pressuring of Western countries has resulted in results on his part.

Italy u-turned on SWIFT & countries are sending military aid.

Winning in the information domain is important
The Russians can't go anywhere without being caught on video & their failures exposed.

As urban warfare intensifies and casualties rise, Russians back home will start to turn in bigger numbers.

That is probably the biggest hope for Ukraine right now.
It is therefore vitally important we share Ukrainian's stories & expose Russian failures & any crimes.

The more we amplify these messages, the more pressure grows on Putin, Lukashenko & others too afraid to say stop.

The enemy will use all of their power on all fronts to break our defense.

The Nord Stream 1 pipeline has continued pumping Russian gas to Germany unabated.

Switching it off would plunge Europe into an immediate energy crisis.

Therefore, it's baffling why an alternative wasn't sought after the annexation of Crimea

Instead they built another pipeline.
A new German Chancellor isn't going to voluntarily plunge his country into an energy crisis

Germany's Russian gas reliance is entirely on them, Merkel especially. For 8 years there's been fears Russia would invade Ukraine, but they laughed it off.

They're now a hostage to Putin
It is however telling that Merkel leaves office and not a few months later Russia invades Ukraine.

It may be that Putin feared Angela Merkel would cut all ties, whereas a weakened Scholz won't, so he waited.

It could be a coincidence. Either way, Europe is in a quandary.

Why are some people so fucking keen to say "but Putin has a point"

Invading Ukraine & calling a country with a Jewish President Nazis & Genociders isn't "having a point", it's lying.

Before it's said, you can condemn 1 neo-Nazi unit in Ukraine’s army without backing an invasion
How is invading a country to commit regime change, any better than Ukraine joining NATO?

What happens when Putin uses that excuse on the next country?

Now Putin's invaded Ukraine, MORE countries want to join.

NATO is shit, but was never going to invade Russia. No chance.
You can easily think NATO is obsolete, although now there's an argument, (NOT mine), that it's preventing a bigger war.

AND

Totally condemn an illegal invasion of Ukraine without saying "oh but Putin."

Both can be bad. Ukraine should have a right to do as it wishes.

BREAKING - Huge explosion seen in Kiev approximately 10 minutes ago.

The last picture would seem to possibly indicate multiple projectiles.

#UkraineInvasion

2/ It appears the big explosion seen in Kyiv was the result of the successful interception of a Russian missile by Ukrainian air defences.

3/ Whatever was successfully intercepted over Kyiv a short time ago, (unknown if it was a plane or ballistic missile), has fallen onto the city causing significant damage and fire.
