Update: Russian troops resume advancing in Ukraine due to Kiev’s refusal to negotiate - Kremlin (TASS)

WNU Editor: As was mentioned in a commentary yesterday. Unconditional surrender is/was a bitter pill for many in the Ukraine government to swallow.

Here is now a sad but easy prediction. Many of Ukraine cities are going to be burning in the coming days.

Ukraine social media is now posting massive columns of Russian armor crossing the border. I suspect the full bulk of the Russian military will now be deployed to seize Kyiv as quickly as possible.

Just one other note.

WNU has many readers of all stripes, and I deeply appreciate the words of support and prayers from all of you for what my family is going through right now in Ukraine. It helps.

Another thing that helps is that WNU's readership is a great source of information to me. Case in point. I mentioned yesterday that I was surprised that the Russian military had not decapitated Ukraine's electrical and communications grid. A retired US Lieutenant General who is a regular reader of this blog sent me an email last night explaining why. The Russian military is so confident on their control of the ground, that they do not see the point of knocking this infrastructure out, and are in fact using Ukraine's cell network to communicate with their intelligence and special op teams behind the front lines to know where Ukraine's military units are located.
