Kyiv fully ‘encircled’ by Russian troops, leaving millions trapped: mayor
Nypost ^ | 02/27/2022 | Lee Brown

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.”

I really hate sounding like I support Russia's invasion, but why do so many people here eat up Ukrainian propaganda? "Ghost of Kiev," "4,500 Russian soldiers dead," "losing everywhere." Please stop being so naïve, people knew a few days ago Ukraine wasn't capable of beating Russia, and a few days of sunshine about their military and suddenly people think they should march into Moscow to topple Putin personally.

The Russians got so lost that they accidentally went all the way around Kiev and cut it off mistakenly.... Then the Russkis ran out of gas.

This coming from the corporate media about Russia - the third largest exporter of oil and gas in the world. In fact the Russians are fighting next to Russian pipelines actively shipping Russian oil and gas through Ukraine itself.

The lying lefties are trying to gaslight us into believing this is a “Battle of the Bulge” situation where the Nazi Germans ran out of gas.

America and Europe are the ones that are more likely to be running out of gas because even though we are fighting Russia we cannot afford to stop importing Russian oil and gas.

Hopium is a helluva drug.

I always felt that the Russians feared that Reagan and Trump were fully ready to press the button to fire back if Russia launched.

With Brandon in charge, who knows who carries the nuke codes...

I would figure the mayor would know.

Doesn’t sound like Putin is losing.
———-
Having spent some time in DOS employment, I have one piece of advice. Do NOT believe government narratives. Americans like to take sides, underdogs, etc….do yourself a favor and research, like reading foreign news articles. Both sides. Has anyone taken the time to read Putin’s speech, probably not. Having been in a conflict, do realize propaganda is a very important tool. Two sides to a story: fact, both sides are corrupted, both sides have or had committed atrocities, support neither one. Their are no white hats in this conflict.

The invisible hand of God uses evil to destroy evil. Question is, is the US supporting a dark horse? Think Burisma, Hunter and the big guy. Run from anything Senile Joe supports.Run from Vlad and Zelenskys narrative, there is much much more to this conflict.

If Putin takes Kiev by brute force, he will only be able to keep it by brute force, and that would be a longterm losing situation for Russia.

“Good post. A little dose of reality.”

I prefer it when people give their eye-witness observations without getting deep into “what it all means” territory where axes are grinding. More like just “this is what is happening now” sans wishful thinking.

It sounds like the Ukranians are offered some useful munitions from various Euro countries. Not sure how capable they are of getting them delivered.

If you take a realistic view of the situation people here think you’re giving Putin blow jobs

You’re learning all the globalist propaganda you’ve paid attention to the past three days was just that anybody can look at the situation until Russia will prevail whether we like it or not it’s just the reality Putin will not tolerate Ukraine becoming a NATO member and we’re not gonna stop it that’s it

I am far more concerned about the invasion of the US that has gone on for 30 years with bipartisan approval than I am with anything in Ukraine.
The one man who would address that was blatantly cheated out of office by both parties.
We are in as much trouble as Ukraine.
