Due horror mass graves @ Bucha, still counting specific UKR adult killed since February 24th (Day-1 war). The streets are literally littered with corpses. Killed people with their hands tied, in civilian clothes (really not Ukraine army, just civillians).

280-300 person mass grave. 5 dead bodies of naked women in the middle of the road. Looted houses. More bodies everywhere, so still counting total died/killed civillians in Bucha.

Photo from Tartu 1941, 199 prisoners murdered. No wonder Estonia really give a huge support for Ukraine in this war.

Ukraine warned last week the military had “two weeks” before it ran out of anti-aircraft and anti-tank missiles, a situation that is said to have only “partially improved” after countries sent extra weapons in the past days.

On other side, Biden guaranteed since March 16th (1 week ago) about “very massive new batch of weapons” for Ukraine.

(via The Times)

The mixed signals from Zelensky's government have left the West confused about his plans for a peace deal with Putin. On Tuesday (March 15th), Zelensky told the PMs of Poland, Czech Republic & Slovenia that Putin wasn't serious about negotiations & Ukraine would keep fighting until he was. That suggested a drawn out conflict. But that same week, his chief negotiator (Mykhailo Podolyak) hailed progress in negotiations with Russia & predicted a breakthrough in talks. “Their position has softened significantly... We have much confidence that we will have a cease-fire in the coming days".

This dissonance is a byproduct of Zelensky and his aides still working through what concessions the Ukrainian people can accept in a final deal and overcoming internal disagreements. And how Zelensky desperate about flip-flop (especially) between Poland and US about several MIGs. And desperate why NATO not yet to “no Fly Zone”, and fact (since March 11th) fatalities in Ukraine civilian rocketing (especially because critical in Mariupol). “They just haven’t come up with a decision yet,” said a diplomat.

Dilemma bigger because Zelensky saw US Congress and Senators more aggressive to help Ukraine than Biden (especially on weapons option), amid his virtual-keynote speech to US (March 15th). On other side, Zelensky under extraordinary pressure to convey progress in negotiations with Russia even if the reality is less sanguine. “Many Ukrainians are now suffering enormously. That puts our delegation under pressure to show some kind of progress in the talks".

Then Biden really unleashed “a mammouth weapons” in new batch, but not with Jet Fighter again. Zelensky is leaning toward a drawn out fight. “There’s no indication on our end that the Ukrainians are suing for peace. They want to fight,” said a U.S. official. But a variety of Western officials say they've received mixed signals.

Another standing ovation to Zelensky amid open-to-public Keynote Speech. Now on session with Bundestag Germany.

some quote from Zelensky to Bundestag:

We are trying to defend our country without your leadership. Why is it that a country across the ocean has turned out to be closer to us than a country in Europe? Why is a country that is across the ocean closer to us [than you]? I appeal to you in the name of the soldiers who defend the values of our country, the values you often speak of here in Europe: that people can live freely and not be subjugated to a country that thinks we belong to it. Between those who have settled into their comfort zone and those who are desperately fighting for their lives and freedom. It is hard to believe that the Bundestag then went on with the agenda.

I’m addressing you as Russia is shelling our cities. Wonderful buildings, hospitals, museums destroyed by missiles. There’s huge loss of human life. The sanctions do not seem to be sufficient to bring the war to the end. There is a concerning trend with every new bomb falling on our territory. You cannot sit back. We don’t recognise this wall. But we are hitting out at this wall so long as we fight to preserve our own people. Politicians, German people, I thank everyone who supports us.

We always said Nord Stream 2 is a weapon. And what reply did we get? ‘Business, business, business’. "Nord Stream 2 was cement for a new wall (after Berlin Wall). An ever stronger wall is rising between Ukraine and Europe, with every bomb that falls in Ukraine. You find yourselves once again behind the wall. Not the Berlin Wall, but in the heart of Europe, where there is freedom. This wall is getting stronger, with every bomb that falls on our soil in Ukraine, with every decision that isn’t made – when did that happen? I thank you … everyone who is trying to break down this wall.

We asked you - what should Ukraine do to become a member of Nato and get the security guarantee? And we got the answer: there is no such decision on the table. 80 years after WW2, what is the value of historical responsibility? […] Mr (Chancellor) Scholz, tear down this wall! Show leadership. Please help us to stop this wall.”

Rare response by Chancellor Olaf Scholz because using 2 twitter accounts (his personal account, and Chancellor-office account), minutes after Zelensky finished the speech to Bundestag.

The bodies of the children all lie here, dumped into this narrow trench hastily dug into the frozen earth of Mariupol to the constant drumbeat of shelling. At least between February 24th (Day-1 war) until March 13th, so far 2,780 civilians in Mariupol has been killed.

18-month-old Kirill, whose shrapnel wound to the head proved too much for his little toddler’s body. There’s 16-year-old Iliya, whose legs were blown up in an explosion during a football game at a school field. They are stacked together with dozens of others in this mass grave on the outskirts of the city. A man covered in a bright blue tarp, weighed down by stones at the crumbling curb.

Another child in the emergency room — Kirill, the toddler struck in the head by shrapnel. His mother and stepfather bundled him in a blanket. They hoped for the best, and then endured the worst.

Jens Stoltenberg, Sec.Gen NATO

In the days to come are likely to be worse, with more death, more suffering, and more destruction, as the Russian armed forces bring in heavier weaponry and continue their attacks across the country. We call on President Putin to stop this war immediately, withdraw all his forces from Ukraine without conditions, and engage in genuine diplomacy now.

Our core mission is to keep our 30 countries safe. we are not part of this conflict. our primary goal is to ensure this conflict doesn't spread beyond Ukraine. NATO is not seeking a war with Russia.

I rejected President Zelensky request to impose a no-fly zone over Ukraine. There should be no airline aircraft in the skies of Ukraine, and there should be no NATO soldiers on the Ukraine territory. What is happening in Ukraine has not been seen since World War II. We have seen the use of cluster bombs and we have seen reports of use of other types of weapons which would be in violation of international law.

I agreed to expand cooperation with Finland and Sweden, they will take part in all NATO meetings and consultations.

FM Blinken in NATO HQ too:

"We seek no conflict. But if conflict comes to us, we are ready for it, and we will defend every inch of NATO territory"

Putin told Macron that he will continue military operations in Ukraine during a 90-minute call initiated Putin. “Continue interventions & go all the way WHATEVER COST,” (Elysse)

Until today, only Macron, from West, repeatedly agreed to phone-call with Putin. 10x time call since Feb. 1st, plus 1x directly meeting in the Kremlin with “long table”

Putin told Macron that he is open to negotiations but emphasized that Ukraine must first commit to neutrality and disarm—and said if Ukrainians don’t accept these conditions, Russia would obtain the same result militarily, the source said.

The 40 mile-long column of Russian tanks and combat vehicles (30 km from Kyiv) that has been spotted in satellite imagery has “stalled” north of Kyiv.

There are indications that Russian forces are "regrouping" after their haphazard operation so far hasn't yielded the results they expected. They continue to deal with fuel and food shortages.

With encircling Kyiv, and a mega-massive convoy by Russia stretching long 64 km / 40 miles near Kyiv but Kyiv still intact uncer Zelensky (at least Day-5 war), U.S. has solid intelligence that Putin is frustrated, expressing unusual bursts of anger at people in his inner circle over the state of the military campaign so far and the worldwide condemnation of his actions," (via high-rank The White House and Intelligence).

If NATO intervenes, the global narrative will change, and the dynamics inside the Kremlin will change. It would rescue Putin. So White House says, reacted coolly to Ukraine's Zelensky proposal for a no-fly zone applied for Russian. "US participation in such a move would be tantamount to "potentially a war with Russia, which is something we are not planning to be a part of."

US and allies (include in Asia like Japan, Australia, New Zealand) not sent a definitive troops to Ukraine soil, but very large quantity of weapon and equipment, also fund military technical assistance. Looking at how Russian army (and/or Air Force) behaves the past few days, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Russian army be the one who’d provoke and initiate the attack, albeit unintentional, at NATO forces.
