Zelensky: “The world doesn’t believe in Russia’s future, doesn’t talk about it. They talk about us, they are helping us, they are ready to support our recovery after the war.”
“Because for a nation, defending itself so heroically, there will most certainly be a future.”
the man has a gift for oratory, you got to hand it to him.

Sad news from one of the better on the ground sources in Kyiv, hope she recovers:
"I am alive. Our vehicle was almost hit by a rocket going back to Kyiv. It caused damage. Our vehicle was clearly marked as medical vehicle. I have some injured fingers, a slight concussion, fractured wrist, fractured cheek bone and other injuries in the hospital"

The intelligence hearing in front of Congress was interesting. Vlad the Incompetent seems have backed himself into a corner; he won't step down, but there's genuinely no conceivable way he can come out ahead, Ukraine or not. One cannot overestimate the damage done to the Russian economy and global relations already.
It's fairly self-evident given his moves thus far that the guy has gone a bit off the deep-end...

The White House unsuccessfully tried to arrange calls between Biden and the de facto leaders of Saudi Arabia and the UAE on countering Russia and containing a surge in oil prices. Both leaders spoke to Putin last week, after declining to speak with Biden.
All the more reason to promote energy independence from these authoritarian regimes while simultaneously tackling Climate Change.
Friendly reminder that Saudi Arabia, ordered from the top, murdered a WaPo journalist.

That convoy is going to become abandoned at some point and then turned into a world heritage site for future generations to see what was one of the worst military operations in modern warfare.

MARIUPOL, Ukraine (AP) — Corpses lie in the streets of Mariupol. Hungry people break into stores in search of food and melt snow for water. Thousands huddle in basements, trembling at the sound of Russian shells pounding this strategic port city.

This is no joke one of the all time quotes:
Mykolaiv governor Vitaliy Kim: “We’re getting prepared for yet another Russian assault. In particular, we have booked 50 buses to transport new POWs.”

Does anyone know how the Russian state are explaining all of the boycotts, closures, and cessation of businesses to the public?
Even the most ardent Putin supporters must be looking around thinking ‘hmmm, the rest of the world sure is angry at our liberation of Ukrainian brothers from their nazi government, how odd?’
