War in Ukraine, Day 7: Russia escalates air and missile strikes against major cities

The Russian military on Wednesday escalated its use of air and missile strikes against major Ukrainian cities where local military and civilians have mounted a more formidable defense than the Kremlin may have anticipated. So far, however, the Alliance and its member states have been extremely reluctant. Calls for a no-fly zone to be imposed by NATO forces over Ukraine have been rejected by several nations. However, voices in support are also heard.

Negotiations between Russia and Ukraine have so far not yielded any results. Based on the experience from the last 8 years, no breakthrough is expected. Russia sees negotiations from the position of strength as a tool to impose its will on Ukraine. Russia does not itself compromise.

For the first time, Russian war criminals have acknowledged the mass deaths and wounds of their own soldiers. During the evening briefing, the official representative of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian federation published his own information about the losses of the Russian occupational forces in Ukraine: 498 dead and 1,597 wounded.

The Ukrainian numbers of Russian losses are completely different, needless to say.

The Ministry of Defence of Ukraine claims that the Russian forces continue to suffer losses from airstrikes by the Air Force. On March 2, the crews of the Su-24m and Su-25 combat aircraft provided air support to units of the Land Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, destroying columns of Russian military equipment and manpower in Kyiv, Sumy, Chernihiv, and Kharkiv oblasts. This information is not verified.

The General Staff claims that during the day, anti-aircraft missile units destroyed three enemy planes and two helicopters of the occupiers.

During a speech tonight, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Oleksiy Danilov said:

  • Belarusian troops transferred to readiness #1
  • Horlivka (which has been under occupation by Russian proxy forces for 8 years) is a Ukrainian city. We take ours.
  • Everything is done according to the plan that is in our structures. If the enemy thinks that we will only defend ourselves, they are wrong.
  • Occupiers do not understand where they got and are disoriented, scared, and without fuel. They just want to get home.
  • Ukrainians will go out and defend their country.
  • Ukraine is working on closing the sky over Ukraine. If we don’t, our children will be vulnerable. This is now # 1.

The war crimes investigation accusing Vladimir Putin of committing atrocities in his process of invading Ukraine, bombarding civilian infrastructure, and killing civilians has begun. The investigation by the International Criminal Court opened on Wednesday night after Britain and 37 allies took Russia to the court over invading a sovereign country and carrying out “abhorrent” attacks.

The invasion has come “just as the growth and planting season starts” in Ukraine and Russia, said Thomas Ølholm, a regional food security adviser for the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC). “Many fields [in Ukraine] will not be maintained or planted. Many agricultural smallholders will be affected and lose their livelihoods for a period of time, or permanently.”

The White House on Wednesday detailed a new slate of economic measures levied against Russia and its ally Belarus. According to CNN, these includes new restrictions extending export control policies to Belarus and preventing diversion of tech and software to Russia through the country,

In addition, the US and allies are identifying 22 Russian “defense-related entities,” including firms that provide technological and material support for Russia’s military.

A strong civil society: the secret to Ukraine’s resistance  According to military strength rankings, Russia holds the second strongest military in the world. On paper, Ukraine’s military budget is smaller than that of city-state Singapore, as approximated by The Economist. Despite these limitations, Ukrainian Army held off attacks throughout the first days of the Russian invasion, thwarting Russia’s initial Blitzkrieg plan. How was such an achievement possible? Part of the answer lies in the Ukrainian people’s colossal ability to self-organize. Immediately after Russia began the war, large numbers of Ukrainians began to look for appropriate roles for themselves to support the Ukrainian defense.

How Putin turned Belarus into a weapon against Ukraine
The 2020 Belarus protests forced reluctant Lukashenka to surrender his country to the Kremlin’s intentions. The subsequent constitutional changes empowered Moscow’s new puppet and opened Belarus for a Russian nuclear presence. Then, in a single stroke, Russian soldiers oversaw the constitution changes and dragged the country into a war against Ukraine. The goal — capturing both Belarus and Ukraine for Putin’s “Greater Russia.”

1 March 2022 marked the end of “neutrality” in Europe “There is no neutrality between the fire and the fire brigade.” Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has sent shockwaves around the globe — as well as ushered in an understanding in Europe that that policy of not provoking an aggressor does not guarantee security.

Captured docs reveal date when Russia greenlit Ukraine invasion Russian military documents captured by the Ukrainian army show the date when Russia greenlit the Ukraine invasion. They also reveal that Russia planned to take over Ukraine in 15 days.

Russia hits Ukrainian city with internationally banned vacuum bomb On February 28, Russian invaders dropped a vacuum bomb, a deadly killer weapon, on the town of Okhtyrka in Sumy Oblast.

Russian invaders kill 19-year-old Ukrainian biathlete star-turned-soldier On 1 March 2022, Russian invaders took the life of Yevhen Malyshev, a promising 19-year-old biathlete from Kharkiv. Yevhen Malyshev recently joined the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Just two years ago, he was part of the national junior biathlon team.

How to join Ukraine’s Foreign Legion of Territorial Defense Amid the ongoing Russian invasion, Ukraine has established an International Legion of Territorial Defense. Foreigners who are willing to join the resistance to the Russian invaders and protect global security can serve in this Ukrainian military unit. Euromaidan Press got hold of an official step-by-step algorithm describing how to join the Foreign Legion.

putin’s ruin “Ukrainians fight in Kharkiv and in Mariupol, in Mykolaiv and in Chernihiv, they will fight in Dnipro and in Odesa, they fight with indomitable spirit, and growing confidence and growing strength, they will defend their nation, whatever the cost may be. They fight and they will never surrender, and if, a large part of Ukraine falls to the fascists from the East, then tens of thousands of Ukrainian partisans will carry on the struggle.And if we ever should abandon the Ukrainians in their fight to save their people, then we ourselves will have to fight putin in Poland, in Romania, in Finland, on Gotland, in Estonia, and wherever else his mad desire for empire leads him.”

  • Many non-Russians inside Russia oppose Putin’s war; some see end of empire approaching
