Brushing up on my Mandarin as we speakI thought it might have taken a few more months.
I don't think anyone expected Kiev to be directly attacked and it would just be a slow ingress from the east south east. I think Putin has miscalculated and there's a couple of significant Nordic States who will now join NATO. Geesh, even Ireland might join now. Watch out for Poland to become extremely militarised.
The risk to our region is if NATO/EU allows this to occur without more significant military resistance. Xi, has his playbook.

I might be wrong but i do not imagine Russian troops in Kiev..what for?, probability just strategic disabling of command centers..or even Ukrainian gov propaganda.I thought it might have taken a few more months.

If we see Russian tanks in Kiev,i will have been wrong .all that good for my PMGold portfolio,less for the people..and predictable use of this event to carry on what started with covid.a great pretext to enslave us another level..due to war/economic sanctions etc
Agree, so the two separatists region of now plus a little bit which are/have been russians well before WWI..aka are Russian.The future borders will ultimately be set by the Russian speaking/ethnic Slav borders v Ukraine, IMO.

And Kiev is not a long term annexion target.

yawn.Do I say I am travelling to Munich, or München? Cologne, or Cöln? Italy or Italia? Moscow or Moskva (or Москва)? Hungary or Magyarország?
In English it has always been Kiev, otherwise why aren't we saying Ukrayina (or Україна)?
Stupid tokenism.
Media people have taught us as they broadcast from the besieged capital of Ukraine, after the “k” it’s nothing but a long “e” before you reach the “v”.
At least that’s how they’ll tell you to pronounce it in Ukraine. Because in Vladimir Putin’s homeland, they call it “Kiev”, a transliteration from the Russian. So if you’re pro-Russia, it’s Kiev; if you’re backing Ukraine, it’s Kyiv.
and its a matter of life or death for those involvedIt’s still a Chicken Kiev down the local pub.

How I spell Kiev has got nothing to do with who I support. In fact I don't believe I have enough facts to make that sort of value judgement.yawn.
as I posted in #447, War Threat in Ukraine,
now, you can 'back' whomever you like, but I think Kyiv is the go, unless Old Slavonic ⰳⰾⰰⰳⱁⰾⰹⱌⰰ is where the adaption stopped.
So if I order Chicken Kyiv, I can save Ukrainian lives?and its a matter of life or death for those involved
I thought I had done enough research to make that comment, but, no. I‘ve researched this a little more today as I thought the western part of Ukraine were not Slavs, but ‘ethnic Ukrainian’ whatever that meant, but it seems they are ‘Eastern Slavs’. Eastern Europe is a Molotov Cocktail of different ethnicities and religions fought over for 1000s of years. Are Eastern Slavs also Russians? I think language might be the division in this case.
