Honestly I think a lot of this stems back to a very simple point if overly a generalisation - Russians tend to understand strength - with the current US they've got an entity they understand to be strong but it isn't pushing back the way they are used to and they don't know how to deal with it.
Would explain a lot of why they are being so cautious.
Maybe there has been (or should be) a large number of 'volunteers' joining the Ukrainian defense from NATO - just like what happenend when
Sounds about right given number Ukrainian deaths
common rule of thumb in war if you have an evenly matched enemy is that when you attack a defensive position you will need at least 10 attackers for every 1 defender

Hope that's true. It's a good start if it is.
Air raid sirens 
something so ominous about that sound.
EDIT: Dunno if that was supposed to signal the end of curfew or something. Doesn't seem like an incoming siren.
Ah yeah curfew until 7am their time which is now.
EDIT2: Not end of curfew according to this https://twitter.com/Liveuamap/status/1497078011501367346 though didn't sound like incoming sirens.

I think I read somewhere they have all been decommisioned here in the UK now, the sirens dated back to WW2? There was one a 5 minute walk from my house next to the second nearest primary school. I remember my mum telling me the siren went off (1940) when she was in the playground aged 5, instead of going to air raid shelter she ran all the way home with Nazi bombers flying across.Air raid sirens
I know it doesn't really relate, but kinda something vivid my mum (RIP) told me.
Most of that civil defence infrastructure was dismantled around 1992 at the latest. There used to be one mounted on the roof of my old junior school which was tested periodically up until around that point.
I don't care. Read it anyway, because you're clearly uninformed. It explains why Russia's actions are illegal and indefensible.
No, the source which was cited is EU Vs Disinfo, as you can clearly see at the bottom of the infographic, where you'll find links to the following articles:
Specifically:
* 'The Kremlin's Playbook: Fabricating Pretext to Invade Ukraine - More Myths.'
* 'Disinformation About the Current Russia-Ukraine Conflict - Seven Myths Debunked.'
Absolutely not. See for yourself:
No US or NATO bases on or near the Russian border. No US nukes on or near the Russian border. Fact. Care to try again?
No, because they're not. Also, how does invading Ukraine address the proximity of US nukes?
Possibly an airbase. Definitely not nukes. Every location with nukes automatically becomes a nuke target.
Yes I understand that. It still doesn't provide a valid rationale for the invasion of Ukraine. Just remind me of the last time the US threatened to nuke Russia? Are you actually pretending this is a serious and ongoing threat? Even if it was real, how does invading Ukraine solve that problem?
Nonsense. Russia had a defence pact during the Cold War (the Warsaw Pact, which you are possibly too young to remember) and the West did not invade any country within that pact.
Russia is a medieval nation with a medieval worldview. This is hardwired into the people; it's part of the national psyche. It's why they still don't have adequate legislation against domestic violence, which was partly decriminalised in 2017.
Imagine a 13th century peasant nation with a prescientific society which has successfully familiarised itself with the few scraps of 20th century technology it managed to beg, borrow, and steal from the West. That's 21st century Russia.
Waking up and turning on the news I see that the western leaders have gone into rhetoric overdrive telling us plebs how they stand with the Ukrainian people shoulder to shoulder whilst talking of applying meaningless sanctions, the Ukraine will be sacrificed because of the wests inaction in the past and now it is too late.
This is probably just BS propaganda but RT news a few hours ago was reporting that Putin is willing to call off the attack of Ukraine says it will remain neutral and start the process of demilitarisation.
And now it's reporting that President Zelenskyy has said he is ready to surrender and negotiate

Probably right. Except imagine trying to enforce conscription on half of the wasters in this country
