Vladimir Putin is closing in on Kyiv that was left to defend itself against a Russian juggernaut; his forces took control leading to Ukrainian deaths because the Western alliance ignored the Kremlin.
In the following hours of the special operation authorized to assist besieged Donbas and Luhansk, the opening salvos took out major military installations with directed missile attacks. The Russian president announced the bloodshed is on the Ukrainian government for the consequences.
Notice for Biden, European Leaders
The Kremlin leader gave a chilling warning after his forces moved to Kyiv; it's the second night that the capital city was pounded while the west did not interfere, reported the Express UK.
Russian forces have systematically attacked other cities as countless Ukrainians are heading to the west end of the country to avoid the invading arm. Already fears of a great exodus to the EU shape as residents want to escape the fighting.
The Ukrainian leader Volodomy Zelensky ominously suggested that the Kremlin leader would not stop at Kyi. He fears that Europe at large is threatened, per BBC.
Putin said if the EU and leaders of the free world will not help Kyiv today, it will be you next when war knocks hello on the front door.
Zelensky said that Moscow invaded when it said it won't; it's called a special operation to demilitarize and stop Nazism to protect persecuted Russians. More Eastern European countries pray that conflict would not rage into greater Europe on a bigger scale.
Countries Who Sat by Condemned Moscow
The EU, UK, and the US have called out Russia for the invasion and slapped several sanctions that would not affect Moscow. Vladimir Putin is always one step ahead, and Joe Biden, the leader of the free world silent.

Experts warned that sanctions would bite back at the west because Russian prepared. Shutting down the gas to the EU is an option to crash its energy to zero.
China opened up as another option to earn from resources, and Beijing is secure from sanctions with loads of cash. One problem for Putin is that's some EU members are ex-Soviet republics, now NATO members.
Article 5 of the EU alliance states that an accord exists that all members can call each other in mutual defense if the Russians would go into EU territory. The same warning was aired before if anyone would dare interfere or act to block him.
It came with a dire warning to consider the consequences. Putin added they are ready for anything. A fight could be avoided if Ukraine was locked out of NATO. It was ignored, plus moving arms close to the Russian border.
Officials like British Foreign Minister Liz Truss were relentless on the rhetoric about Moscow, somewhat echoing the exact sentiment of PM Boris Johnson. Instead of stopping the rhetoric, Truss is hard on the Kremlin's demand to exclude Kyiv from NATO.
Several times, the Kremlin felt that the west does not want to settle on the demand to NATO and stop moving eastward. Now it's a full-on war in Ukraine.
President Vladimir Putin is now committed, and a path that will collide with the western powers. The allies are posturing, but Moscow is wary of any move done by the west.
