Jedi Press Sec Jen Psaki said that we should be on the lookout for them, and that Putin may launch them as a "false flag" operation. Can't find the clip at the moment.
All video from her today was out-shown by the serious dick stomping she did to Peter Doocey. I don't think he realizes that she only calls on him at all for comic relief. The perpetual punchline who doesn't get the joke.

I'm convinced he's in on the joke. How else could he be such a reliable patsy for her cuts.

On Fox News they celebrate him as the only reporter willing to hold her feet to the fire.

No, really.

Even Russian State TV Is Pleading With Putin to Stop the War
State TV pundit Karen Shakhnazarov pointed out: “The war in Ukraine paints a frightening picture, it has a very oppressive influence on our society. Ukraine, whichever way you see it, is something with which Russia has thousands of human links. The suffering of one group of innocents does not compensate for the suffering of other innocent people... I don’t see the probability of denazification of such an enormous country. We would need to bring in 1.5 million soldiers to control all of it. At the same time, I don’t see any political power that would consolidate the Ukrainian society in a pro-Russian direction... Those who talked of their mass attraction to Russia obviously didn’t see things the way they are. The most important thing in this scenario is to stop our military action. Others will say that sanctions will remain. Yes, they will remain, but in my opinion discontinuing the active phase of a military operation is very important.”
:snippity:
“This threatens the change of public opinion in Russia, the destabilization of our power structures... with the possibility of a full destabilization of the country and a civil war. This apocalyptic scenario is based on the script written by the Americans. They benefit through us dragging out the military operation. We need to end it somehow...."

The host frowned at the apparent departure from the officially approved line of thinking and deferred to the commander-in-chief. However, the next expert agreed with Shakhnazarov. Semyon Bagdasarov, a Russian Middle East expert, grimly said: “We didn’t even feel the impact of the sanctions just yet... We need to be ready for total isolation. I’m not panicking, just calling things by their proper name.”
:snippity:
To lighten the mood in the studio, the host resorted to one of the favorite pastimes of many Kremlin propagandists: playing yet another Fox News clip of Tucker Carlson and his frequent guest Ret. Col. Doug Macgregor. In the translated video, Macgregor predicted Russia’s easy military victories over Ukraine and its total invincibility to Western sanctions. Soloviev sighed and smiled: “He’s a lot more optimistic than my previous experts in the studio.”

Or outside, surrounded by broken glass.

I saw a doctor fell out a window while on a conference call. How does that happen?

That’s what happens when you speak out against Russian COVID policies.
Edit: For example, Nepomnyashchaya was on a conference call with a top Russian health official about plans for turning one of the buildings at her medical facility into a coronavirus treatment ward. She disagreed with the idea, and fell out of the window during the call, according to local media.

Active combat scenes. No visible deaths or injuries. May have been edited for public consumption. Hard to tell.

So after failing to be able to supply their armies in the east, they want to create ANOTHER front in the West?

There are indications that the Russian armies in the West are about to be surrounded and cut off from supplies.

If Ukraine can pull this off, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the Russians.

They’re currently cutting off their supply/communication lines to Belarus and dividing/encircling the Russian troops to the south.

If they can close the kettle, it’s gonna get ugly.

Looks like Ukraine is trying to create a mother of all motti's with Kyiv perimeter being the anchor point.

So should we provide 2000 nuclear weapons to Ukraine to even things up? ;)
