Putin's speech is scheduled for any minute now. RT livestream is available on Odysee here:
I don't think any leader will change Putin's opinion very much if the decisions were made carefully, even so there should have been intentions to call by certain countries... Putin-Russia is trolling the entire internet, yes!No speech yet? Yes?
Maybe some last minute calls from other heads of state
Rumors on telegram is the address has been cancelled and if anything, Putin will make the speech tomorrow (if he does at all). Who knows what's going on![]()
Very busy....very busy keeping the WHOLE world waiting! Anxiety levels on the internet are up up up. People want to know whether Putin will essentially announce WW3 (really!).According to the kremlin website Putin was very busy today (as usual). At least the last two listed events happened during the time his speech to the nation was allegedly scheduled:
President of Russia

According to Russian channels on TG, the speech will be broadcast tomorrow morning.
If there could be a military escalation up to a certain point, perhaps not total, but if it is that the reports that Ukraine is mobilizing part of the troops in charge of defending kyiv towards the areas that hold separatist votes are real... although the forces Ukrainians are hit hard, if the referendums go ahead (which is certain by the looks of it), those troops could represent an imminent danger to some extent and it would not be good for the people in those regions if Russia delays in coming to the defense .I would say that the mobilisation is going to happen, but after the referendum, and only in the part of (ex) Ukraine, (next) Russia where the refedendum is happening. So, Ukrainians, fresh Russians is going to liberate the rest of Ukraine. I dont think there is a need for Russia proper to do any mobilisation. They already have million person army, which they are not using in Ukraine so far. So, "mobilisation" part is probably another piece of western propaganda.
I could be wrong though.

I expect phone calls were had and a deal struck. Perhaps it was some negotiation ploy with NATO. Who knows!
