I'm watching DW live stream of Kiev and explosions growing louder and louder toward center of city

Tv station TheOne reporting :- Russian soldiers dressed in Ukrainian police uniforms approached a border post to the city and killed the guards, Russian troops then stormed the position, firefight ongoing.

Ukrainians ordered to only comunícate in Ukrainian.

Edit- it was actually a border post at Vasiylkiv airbase, south west of Kiev.

Its been reported and documented a few times in the last 24 hrs. Its a straight up war crime to use that tactic.
 
It is 3:49 am in Kyiv, friend in question writes to me a bit more

I asked if they were be able to stockpile food but said it's ok if you are sleeping hours back, guess they just woke up

I am trying to use Internet to learn news and to work whenever it is available,As of today, supermarkets were open, although I didn't manage to find bottled water on sale anywhere when I went looking for it today. Some stuff that is in high demand is going super fast and the some shelves are emptied, but there is still plently of food in shops (I wasn't able to find where to buy bread, but I was able to buy some sweet buns, spagetti and just-add-water pacake mix). Right now it's night and I there's a curfew, so I can't go anywhere until the morning. There is no fighting right outside my window, thankfully, it's pitch dark with no normal street lighting, just some ominous flashes in a distance on the horizon. If I'd see something really notable right out my window and I will have Internet - I'll certainly post, but so far there is nothing and I'm afraid that once I will be seeing something sertious right outside my window my Internet connection is going to be gone...

If anyone's interested..

Definitely interested mate, again confirms the reports from tv stations, pretty quiet in the city, no Russian troops in the city, sporadic Grad21 missiles incoming.
 
I don't get why Russia is asking for help from places like Syria and Kazakstan. The Kazak army is absolutely awful, basically reliant on Soviet era tech.
If another country (save the Belarussian prick) officially joins Russia in the active fight tomorrow, would it be more legitimate for the Western powers to intervene maybe?
 
What the hell, they are saying he is now threatening Sweden and Finland for wanting to join NATO!?!?!? I knew he was a little crazy, but are we sure he doesn’t have dementia or something?
