I think there's no chance they don't take Kyiv over the next few days at this point. It's just bizarre what the plan will be after they hoist the flag onto govt buildings. The forward forces just chill around the city center in a big blob with no supplies and get potshotted? They're gonna helicopter in some dude from Moscow and declare him king of Ukraine?

They lifted off some time apart from Georgia. Maybe one of them was grounded for a while and the other one caught up in the schedule?

The EU states will close their airspace to Russian aircraft. This was reported to the ARD capital studio. The Baltic states have already announced that they will close their airspace to Russian aircraft. The Baltic states' flight ban will apply from midnight on Sunday to aircraft of airlines with licences issued by the Russian Federation. The closure of the airspace of the three EU and NATO countries will take place simultaneously and for an indefinite period, the Ministry of Transport in Vilnius announced. Exceptions are to be made for emergency landings and humanitarian flights. Poland, the Czech Republic and Bulgaria have also already closed their airspace to Russian aircraft.

Kadyrov's already posted to deny the general was killed. It was in the 'he's right out of frame, laughing, too' kind of way, but so were the initial reports of his death, when you think about it.

I don't know, but if I had to guess, maybe because a "General" in the Kadyrovtsky isn't necessarily the same as a "General" in an ordinary army.

Thank you. This looks spicy, and would explain several European plains doing mystery turnaround flights today - I was aware of some countries closing the airspace for Russian airliners, Latvia for instance, but not the full EU ban.

Likely yes. The fuel problems reports we’ve seen so far all seem to be localised or otherwise anecdotal.

The next tweet in the thread says they expect Russian retaliation, maybe they were keeping it under wraps until most of the planes were out of Russian airspace

Not quite, evidently. They tried to SEAD on day 1 and Ukrainian aviation still kind of flies, and air defences have been filmed shooting a fair number of things.

The current street wisdom is that the Russians have blown through their entire ballistic missile stockpile without destroying the intended targets, and have no decisive means of dealing with the AA now.

Ballistic missiles aren't ordinary bang bangs. They have bang bangs in spades, but not of the sort they need (according to reports)
