The Battle for Kyiv.

I think this is reliable reporting, confirmed by an arial photo at least. The Russians should be on the offensive tomorrow around Kiev. Apparently the Russians didn't hold the airport to the west of Kyiv CNN reported on earlier today

Putin just released a pre recorded speech:

Tonight?

That's the second time on the CBS news broadcast they said it could happen in hours. I think it's 7 hours difference from EST.

Video from free Eastern Ukraine.

I'm posting this tweet because of the video. It must have been taken last night in a city in free eastern Ukraine. I found it very moving.
Also included is a tweet about a dozen open source intelligence accounts being taken down by Twitter last night. Apparently there was a coordinated attempt to block them
