Russia appears to have captured or neutralized the remaining Ukrainian navy.
Russia has landed forces at Odessa and Maripol, and soon will cut all Ukrainian access to the Black Sea. (No more NATO resupply ships for Kiev.)
Russia has been conducting extensive missile strikes on command and control HQ's, air defense bases, and military airports.
Most of Ukraine's military is positioned inside the boundaries of the LPR and DPR territory, facing the formal rebel positions, now facing the Red Army, and they have been told to lay down their arms and return home immediately.
Putin has said he is now demilitarizing the Ukraine.
NATO has been told to pull out all remaining forces as well.
Russian forces are also moving down from the North, and up from out of Crimea, flanking behind the positions held by the bulk of Ukrainian ground forces. This threatens to cut those forces off from Kiev and leave them encircled.
The battle has been waging for just a little over an hour so far.
Russia has a sizable force just a short drive from Kiev, and could move to seize the capital, though they have not moved yet.
Civilians are gassing up their cars and fleeing West in huge numbers. Long lines at gas stations.
