Talks with Putin by leaders of other countries go nowhere….
“We do not have confirmation at the moment that a cease-fire started … [or] is settled for this day,” Sergei Orlov, deputy mayor of the port city of Mariupol, told the BBC. He said it was difficult to collect information, given that the city has been without electricity, heat, water or phones for days and that Russian shelling continues. “The route is not safe,” he said.
As the war enters its 12th day, Russia and Ukraine returned to the negotiating table on Monday afternoon, after previous talks failed to yield a breakthrough. Ahead of the talks, Mykhailo Podolyak, a Ukrainian presidential adviser, said the negotiating process was “very difficult” and that both sides agreed not to announce details until they reached an accord. “We wouldn’t like to provoke some wrong things at this stage by voicing some raw things,” he said.
Here’s what to know
Zreebs says
Due to Putin’s recklessness, we might look back at this time period in the future as the start to WW3.

I may wrong…
But I don’t think so Z…….
My feeling is Putin will get the Southern part of the Ukraine which will be partitioned….….
jamesb says
Also Z?
I’m just a political dog
But I won’t be surprised if Biden DOES approve a ‘No Fly’ zone over North Western Ukraine……
It really is the only thing The Ukraine President has Not got from Biden except direct American troops in the fight…..
jamesb says
Oh and does anyone think ‘old ‘ Russian fighter jets will last against Russian anti aircraft missile’s?????
Or against Russian fighter
jamesb says
Jack and i had this discussion about American troops going to Europe…….
I made the point that despite Jack and Biden ‘s reluctance to do so?
More American troops WILL BE deployed to East Europe……
The new figure of American troops in Europe has gone from roughly 12,000 to 15,000 with the addition of 500 more troops…….the number could be as high as 17,000…
Biden has not wanted this, but?
The number of American troops going to Europe is bound to increase by much more going forward…
jamesb says
I don’t know what the numbers of Air Force military personnel numbers are……
Fighter Jets have been rotated to other NATO countries and C-17 and C130’s are supplying the Ukraine with weapons…..
Fighter’s mean tankers……
One can assume AWACS aircraft are watching the skies over the Ukraine as far as they can see in the South and from Polish airspace….
Finally?
Air Force ‘Constant Phenix’ C-135’s have to be sniffing from Poland North for any radio activity…….
And that’s just IS assets that Biden has to ok in general……
jamesb says
Just an updater on my guess on the number of troops Biden might have to sent to Europe connected to the Russian Ukraine action…
The United States alone has deployed more than 15,000 troops to Europe, while committing an additional 12,000 to NATO’s response force if necessary…
