It begs the question, why invade Ukraine in February? It’s winter, atrocious weather, surely you’d wait a few months until it improves.
@wyld.at.hrt gave an explanation for the likely reasons

There speaketh a man of experience (who lives in Wales). As for me, I no longer get Transit vans stuck in fields. You do it twice……

Bit different in the way that the US will keep a direct armed presence there if push comes to shove. They really don’t need to directly act against Russia wrt Ukraine though
I think boots on the ground will happen - eventually. Can see parallels in some way to Germany post WWII here. Ukraine split, Kyiv split and a wall across Ukraine…
Regrettably, I think it’s inevitable, Putin doesn’t appear to be willing to listen to reason. I think the only hope, is to get China on board, to help with any discussions.

The Russians will be shot down with their own weapons, I just heard it on the news. Hopefully they still work.
We probably found them while tidying up, or we just clear out the warehouse, it doesn’t matter, every little bit helps i think.

The Russians will be complaining that the Ukrainians are getting more advanced equipment than them.

Thomas Anders (Modern Talking) informs his Russian fan clubs about the actual situation in Ukraine by email.
Two weeks ago nobody would have thought that`s possible.
He is still very popular over there and Modern Talking has a lot of fans in the russian speaking regions.
He probably canceled concerts in Minsk and Kyiv that were supposed to take place there soon.
Better ending than Se7en this:

In an average February, 55% of total energy in Germany comes from Russian natural gas. The vast majority of thermal, plus a significant contribution to the electrical - a contribution that volumes don’t quite capture, because of the generating merit or stack order. Without those CCGT’s stepping in at the top of the price curve, it gets a lot steeper.
In an average April, it is less than 20%.
