Apparently Wed 16 Feb is the "day of reckoning" in Ukraine. I pray Putin is still "playing political games with the west" and is not gonna do this: attacking a sovereign country where the Ukrainian people have embraced their sovereign rights and independence away from Russia for decades. Hence there is no doubt the people and military will make this one of the most bloody conflicts ever witnessed this century. I sincerely empathise with these people, families, kids etc, "fellow human beings" who have been placed in this position of real threat and insecurity. Please don't let this happen!!
