I would expect the trickle of refugees to begin when the next major urban centre is attacked by Russia - Mariupol’ seems to be their most likely next major target. It’s impossible to predict when and how that could turn into a 2015-size affair, however.

It would be v irrational for them to do this but *gestures at entire situation* Germany is definitely the weakest link in the western alliance at the moment and they have a big red pressure point that russia can push and inflict a lotof pain. I’m not sure given how much of Putin’s reputation as a pragmatic opportunist he threw away in this last week that russia can resist pushing it even though it would end up leading to complete financial catastrophe both short and long term

Gros Tarla posted:FWIW, in French we're taught to use Kiev. Is that spelling inappropriate? Thanks everyone for the info on this! FWIW, the Finnish translation/translitteration/whatever of Kiyv is "Kiova" - Ki like kick, o like Olga, va like vava. I'm not sure if that is more or less appropriate than "Kiev".  Is "Kiova" derived from the Russian version of the name?

Can we get a mod ruling on what is acceptable to post in terms of on-the-ground footage? Obviously gore and such should not be posted, but what about combat footage in general? I ask because I just saw a video of Russian ATGM crews taking out Ukrainian vehicles (can't make out what kind, either a BMP or a BTR) at the Russian border. This thread should not become a war porn thread IMO, but these videos are important to track ongoing events given that we are waiting to see how far Russian troops advance, and when. But we also must be sensitive to those who are affected or who have friends/family who may be affected, so that we can be empathetic to them.

What's most likely, but least violent resolution to this situation? The regions under Russian territory becoming fully independent after some bloodshed? I don't want to risk my sanity combing Twitter for pundit hot takes.

I didn't say anyone shouldn't post the tweet, I said the embassy shouldn't have tweeted it (which, in this analogy, would be like saying you don't think Russia should bomb something while still thinking it's okay to post evidence when they do). Sorry to have insulted US Embassy Kiev like that.

Yes, although videos themselves can be part of a disinformation campaign. E.g., the number of times a video of some atrocity has been posted only to find out later that actually it's a video taken a decade ago during some entirely different conflict.
