Seeing at least 3 USAF air refuelling tankers up near the border of Ukraine. Not sure if they’re providing support to the Ukraine airforce or if there’s other USAF jets in that region.
Where is this on? Which radar site?

It will get stuck in paperwork for an eternity
Russia invading Ukraine is not really feasible for Ukraine, Germany should shoulder some of the cost and do the right thing and help Ukraine if they're really behind them
Another bridge, another load of Russian armour crossing it... sad that various parts of Ukraine weren't prepared for this despite the advanced warnings from the West:
Obviously, you can't hide such a large force, being able to see the Russian forces build up has little to do with getting details info on their plans though.

It is simply a financial decision that this has happened. The economy of the west is more important than the freedom of 44 million people. Sad but true.
Poor planning if they aren’t currently detonating it.
Doesn't necessarily need to even be rigged up - have thrown in an additional edit but it's kinda perfect for light guns too - have a FOO party/fire support team or even mortars, MBTs and IFVs can't respond well as it's out of the line of sight for them and the FOO party or MFC with eyes on isn't exactly going to draw attention to their location.
UK government imposes more measures against Russia

...
• To extend the full range of these measures to Belarus
I thought the Germans normally liked having a pop at the Russians?

There's still some love in Eastern Germany for the USSR.
Only those who voted Green thought it was remotely the right decision to close the Nuclear plants and end up relying on Russian gas and dirty coal from lignite mines in Germany. Was clearly a massive mistake at the time and certainly Merkel's biggest error.
UK government imposes more measures against Russia
Downing Street said the UK government's plan of action against Russia consists of 10 components:
• An intention to impose asset freeze on all major Russian banks with an immediate freeze against VTB which has assets totalling £154bn
• To introduce legislation on Tuesday that will prohibit the ability of all Russian companies to raise finance on UK markets
• To issue sanctions against individuals, entities and their subsidiaries which include Rostec - Russia's largest defence company
• Look to imminently ban the ability of Aeroflot to land in the UK
• To immediately suspend the use of export licences to Russia - an example being electrical components or parts of military trucks
• To lay legislation "within days" that will prohibit a wide range of high tech exports to Russia
• Look at introducing legislation that would limit the amount of deposits Russian nationals will be able to hold in UK bank accounts
• To work with G7 and NATO allies to shut off Russia's access to the SWIFT payment system
• To extend the full range of these measures to Belarus
• Look at bringing forward the Economic Crime Bill which will take action against Russians who raise funds in the UK before the Easter recess
