Regime change or the entire country seems unlikely unless something major changes. Would also make the war worth it due to the natural resources gained. | ||

A journalist for BILD-Zeitung in Kyiv corroborates that by saying "the city is not cut off". It's a chaotic swirl of fog of war, misinterpretation, possible translation errors, and more going on right now we have to be cautious with. What I'm citing could be completely wrong as well by the way. | ||

I'm still following the reddit live feed ( https://www.reddit.com/live/18hnzysb1elcs ), but there my experience has also been to just let things stand for 30 minutes before believing them. They are doing a good job at quickly removing stuff that turned out duds or obvious misinformation compensating for their overeagerness to quickly forward whatever news they can find. Same the Bosporus story today, the various stages of the SWIFT ban etc or the more outlying claims of success of both conflict parties. | ||

GENEVA, Feb 27 (Reuters) - Swiss President Ignazio Cassis said on Sunday that it was "very probable" that neutral Switzerland would follow the European Union (EU) on Monday in sanctioning Russia and freezing Russian assets in the Alpine country. Cassis, interviewed on French-language Swiss public television, said that the seven-member Federal Council would meet on Monday and review recommendations by the departments of finance and economy. Asked whether Switzerland -- a major financial centre and commodities trading hub -- would follow the EU in freezing Russian assets, he said: "It is very probable that the government will decide to do so tomorrow, but I cannot anticipate decisions not yet taken." Switzerland has walked a tortuous line between showing solidarity with the West and maintaining its traditional neutrality that the government says lets it offer its services as a potential mediator. But it faces growing domestic pressure to side clearly with the West against Moscow and adopt punitive European Union sanctions. The government had so far said only that it will not let Switzerland be used as a platform to circumvent EU sanctions. In the biggest peace march in decades, around 20,000 people demonstrated in Bern on Saturday to support Ukraine, some booing the government over its cautious policy. The government last week amended its watchlist to include 363 individuals and four companies that the EU had put on its sanctions list to punish Moscow. read more Russians held nearly 10.4 billion Swiss francs ($11.24 billion) in Switzerland in 2020, Swiss National Bank data show. Switzerland is also a major trading centre for Russian commodities. Source | ||

It’s quite clear he has completely missplayed his hand and that not much is going as planned, so I assume he is just improvising. | ||

Wonderful development. I’m happy to see Europe doing so well through all this. I still hope we see actual members of their military piloting these planes, but this is still a step in the right direction. A big step. | ||
