There are 2 or 3 other threads. In fact, I’m going to close this one and point to the other 2 major ones.

In GD, invasion starts around here:

> Kyiv getting bombed at the outset. Probably going to try to take the capital with attacks from Belarus. Big big trouble.

In MPSIMS:

>
> It has started. Artillery attacks across the border on – so far – military installations. [Reuters](https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/putin-orders-military-operations-ukraine-demands-kyiv-forces-surrender-2022-02-24/)[CNN](https://www.cnn.com/europe/live-news/ukraine-russia-news-02-23-22/index.html)[USA Today](https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2022/02/23/russia-ukraine-invasion-crisis-update/6906567001/) A military analyst on CNN said they are likely probing for the weakest spots before moving in the main forces and that there will be a lot of urban fighting, the kind nobody wants to be involved in.
