With Russian forces continuing its attacks against Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko announced a curfew on Tuesday after a suspected Russian missile struck an apartment in the city and killed at least four people.
Technically, this could get real ugly real fast if any one of the visiting diplomats gets hurt or killed during this visit.
I was thinking the same thing yesterday when the visit was announced. I admire their courage for wanting to meet in Kyiv, and the symbolic value of meeting there, but . . .
Given the communications SNAFU the Russian forces work under, deliberate and accidental incidents are equally likely.
If they can be so brave in such danger, so can we in the comfort of our homes.
It occurs to me that this could also be an expression of how confident they are in the quality and depth of NATO’s intelligence coverage.
Yes. Seems like a really foolish idea. Echoes of a certain Archduke. Let’s hope they all come home safely.
Very much so. These past few weeks, the phrase “moral courage” has been like a mantra for me.
Might GIVE RUssia the WAr with NATO and US that theY reallY want.

I can see HRC laughing right now.
It is like me announcing I am going to boycott Chick-Fil-A. I can’t. I have never eaten there, (no interest in their menu) so I can’t say I will stop.
So, do we think the Russian reporter protest was staged? I have mixed feelings
Now why would they do that to their operatives?
Intelligence ** is among the first words that should pop up.

I don’t know, and who can predict whether NATO would follow such rules exactly under these circumstances? But it can’t be good. That’s for sure.
If Joe Biden, Tony Blinken, Mark Milley, Lloyd Austin, Bill Burns, Jen Psaki, Hunter Biden, or Hillary Clinton have any superyachts or Crimean beachfront properties, I enthusiastically endorse their seizure.
Disinformation is supposed to be Russia’s forte. They missed a golden opportunity with that one.
Just remember Peter Doocy is the cabin boy on the good ship Psaki.
Well, given that she’s getting a show trial where the max fine is 30,000 rubles and 10 days in prison, with the latter unlikely since she has a young child, she’s either got some strong protection or engaged in a sanctioned/non-sanctioned thing.
