Ukraine’s capital of Kyiv is now fully “encircled” by Russian troops — leaving no way out for millions of citizens facing “a humanitarian catastrophe,” Mayor Vitali Klitschko said Sunday.
The former heavyweight boxing champ told The Associated Press that it was now impossible to evacuate the city “because all ways are blocked.”

It’s worse, as it seems everything is becoming some false dichotomy.
Every issue is being pushed as black or white, without thought of the greys in between.
When there’s only two choices, often times the results are poor.
I thought Ukraine supermodels had taken up positions to defend Kiev?
Russia is right on the border. Can afford to hold out for long. The Russian army is still on the march. Has a huge stock of weapons. Holding out would make Ukraine run out of strength.
My bet is Ukraine will fall unless help intervenes and help from us could mean WWIII, nukes, chemical warfare. Who knows how far Putin is willing to go but he gives me the impression all the way.
Meanwhile I can’t help but wonder if the Biden team is either protecting their money from oil in Ukraine, Burisma, or is it using it to distract from the miserable job that has been Biden’s from this past year.
Plus Biden and his miserable record of making decisions adverse to the United States welfare, eg, shutting down the Keystone Pipeline making us energy dependent on foreign oil, stopping the wall being built on our borders, flooding us with 2 mil and more illegal aliens, well I don’t expect a decision in our favor. So then it’s back to Burisma and oil profits and is that the real reason for all of this. If so he could very well get us into a real big mess quickly trying to protect that.
I think the Ukranian in the Cessna is still in the air taking out MIGs.
How big is the city and do the Russians have enough troops to do it
“It’s a siege. I tried to explain this to our 4 star generals here, but it confused them.”
Don’t you hate it when you’re right.
Ukraine President could release a lot of documents concerning contacts with Hunter Biden and all of the other crooks in our country.
“And what happens if the Ukrainians encircle the Russian and cut off their food and supplies?”
—
I think, at best, that would only occur to a small group of troops. They are not going to encircle the bulk of the Russian Army. A mini-battle of the bulge type situation that would have little impact in the wider war. What Ukraine would need is more along the lines of a Battle Of Salamis trap play victory.
At this point, I just start at 180 Degrees opposite of what Democrats, Biden, deep-state Fed.gov and the corrupt US MSM tell me.
Its not ideal, but it at least that tells me what direction North is.
when they start arming untrained citizens it’s not going well.
But what about the “citizen defenders” and the president and the beauty queen chick a-whuppin’ the Rooskies? Plus, “The Ghost of Kyiv” singlehandedly shot down the entire Russian air force, didn’t he? The Russian troops were turning on their commanders. Ukraine was winning! How can Kiev be encircled when the Rooskies are getting their butts kicked so badly?
What is even real anymore?
How long did the Russians themselves hold during the siege of Stalingrad? From mid-1942 to early 1943, the German legions tried but failed to take the city, making that the probable turning point in the Second World War, and the beginning of the end for the Third Reich, which was steadily driven back from that point on.
Good post. A little dose of reality.
That's what you get for changing the spelling of your city's name.
Sucks to be them.
Moreover, it's only natural because the serious experts are split, too, experience and/or brilliance be danged.
“Checkmate.
Z goes to peace talks tomorrow unless the US and UK find a way to stop him,”
BINGO! If not tomorrow clearly by the middle of the week.
My question is where are all the dead Russian soldiers, blown up Russian tanks, and downed airplanes we’ve heard so much about.
On No. Now we know what Robert Malone meant when he told us about “Mass Formation Psychosis.”
If Putin takes over, then parasites like Hunter Biden, Chris Kerry, Devon Archer certainly won't be allowed their cut. Thus - there will be no US Fed.gov money.
“Circuling isn’t conquering.”
It’s part of the process.
The Alamo was fully encircled in 1836, and the bad guys won that battle. Bastogne was fully encircled in 1944, and the bad guys lost that battle. So it’s all a roll if the dice.
Fox saying the same thing. With the city cut off, artillery will be brought in the shell them
