Invasion: Russia overwhelms Ukrainian naval bases, Odessa

Post by Haijun watcher »

History in the making: Russian Marines have overwhelmed Ukrainian naval bases and are marching on Odessa. Obviously a lot more other action reported across the rest of Ukraine by the mainstream media.

Russian troops have landed in Odessa and are crossing the border, Ukrainian official says
An adviser for the Interior Minister of Ukraine, Anton Gerashchenko, has told journalists on an official WhatsApp group that Russian troops have landed in the city Odessa and are crossing the border in the city of Kharkiv.
Gerashchenko added there have been missile strikes on the Vasilkovsky airfield near Kyiv.
He also said that Borys Filatov, the mayor of Dnipro, just called to say he was hearing explosions.

They haven't landed yet. We are standing on the roadstead. Maybe tomorrow.

The Ukrainians seem to be using their guns better than the Russians.

Russia has made a big mistake in attacking its peaceful neighbour and you will see a steep decline in Russia's influence in the world. Even China doesn't want to be associated too closely with Russia. That's how bad Mr. Putin is!

Not as useless as Putin's murderous invasion!
