Has Putin’s Invasion of Ukraine Bogged Down? Russian Tyrant Raises Nuclear Threat as Two Sides Meet for Talks

By The Editor

Outgunned but determined Ukrainian troops have slowed Russia’s advance for now, as Russian and Ukrainian officials began negotiations today. 

Military experts say the war in Ukraine is not going the way Vladimir Putin had planned. Stiffening resistance from Ukrainian forces and tactical blunders by Russian invasion planners could turn this into a quagmire for Moscow. 

Ukraine has so far held onto its capital Kyiv, but with a planned Russian assault on the capital, refugees are fleeing. 

CBN’s George Thomas in Western Ukraine says, “Tens of thousands of people have been fleeing Kyiv and other cities in the eastern part of the country since Russia’s invasion. So, many of them are arriving here in Lviv, and the United Nations is now warning that the escalating violence could lead to some five million refugees fleeing to Ukraine’s neighbors.”

For now, Ukrainian families have been huddling in shelters and basements under fear of Russian bombing.

The exact death tolls are unclear, but Ukraine’s president says at least 16 children have been killed and another 45 wounded. Hundreds of other deaths and even more injuries have been reported.

“I wish I had never lived to see this,” said Bystritska, an 87-year-old Jewish survivor of World War II. She said sirens blare almost constantly in her city, Chernihiv, about 90 miles from Kyiv.

Meanwhile, faced with stiffer than expected resistance and potentially devastating sanctions, President Vladimir Putin ordered Russia’s nuclear forces put on high alert.

Former Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice warns that Putin has become “delusional”,  telling Fox News, “This is different. He seems erratic, there is an ever-deepening delusional rendering of history.”

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) tweeted, “I wish I could share more, but for now I can say it’s pretty obvious to many that something is off with Putin.” 

While NATO and the European Union arm Ukraine with missiles and fighter jets, Belarus was expected to send troops into Ukraine today to fight alongside Russian forces.
