#BreakingNews:
In #Ukraine, Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Enerdohar (the largest in Europe) is NOT on fire. The six reactors are untouched and only the administrative building has been taking fire.

So no panic and no fake news.

For every information you come across in this war, take a deep breath before jumping on it. Fake news was expected from the first minute but it is surprisingly developing.

Day 9 of war:
#Russia is at 20-25 km from the city centre with a tank and 67 km-long armoured convoys waiting for the results of the ongoing negotiation with #Ukraine delegation.
The negotiators agreed for a safe passage from 08:00 am to 19:00 pm, when the curfew enter in force +

People in #Kyiv said that gasoline is almost exhausted notwithstanding the arrival of the supply to the capital, due to war effort and military need. Inhabitants willing to leave have the possibility to do so by Trains (or cars) +

#Russia denied the Cease-fire requested by #Ukraine due to the NATO and allies' announcement of their intention to supply Ukraine with lethal and defensive weapons. Russia said it will destroy any arms convoy reaching Ukraine from borders. +

Good news is the #US & #Russia are talking. Channels are not closed. Both superpower countries said they don't want a nuclear war. Economic sanctions will be harsh on Russia & #Europe (not excluding the US of course). Russia won't stop until Ukraine accepts to sign an agreement.

Every war ends w/ an agreement. That is the basic rule. Now, it depends on how long leaders want to prolong it. The more the #US encourages #Ukraine to reject any agreement w/ #Russia, the longer the war will last.NATO should stop sending weapons to see more Ukrainians killed.

With the fall of Mykolaiv or Nikolaev (a city near the Black Sea in southern #Ukraine) in #Russia's control, the road to Odesa and the highway E95 to #Kyiv are next. That will bring Russian forces to close the southern front of the Capital.

The Americans love the word "inch":
In 1990, James Baker told Gorbachev: NATO won't expand one inch outside its borders.
In 1993, Warren Christopher said to Yeltsin: "Not one inch"

NATO ready for war with Russia, Blinken says: "We will defend every Inch" newsweek.com/nato-ready-war…

What #US secretary Antony Blinkemn said today in #Brussels is related to my articles published yesterday: Ukraine is just the beginning, not the end.
The #US is defending its Eastern European dominance.

'We are not part of this conflict': We only send tons of weapons so Ukrainians can die and we can mount a media campaign against President Putin. We told @ZelenskyyUa but he doesn't want to understand that we won't fight on his behalf.
