I've been away due to work (being so tired from one day that I went straight to sleep and slept through the opening of the war; and then being at work for two straight days due to an ice storm for the first two days of the war).



Looks like the Russians/Belarusians used the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone to pass through for their western pincer on Kiev.

So far with this war we have:

• Battle of Chernobyl in the Exclusion Zone
• Failed VDV air assault at Hostomel Airport -- VDV landed in helicopters and were wiped out after 8 hours.
• Failed VDV airborne landings at Vasylkiv Airport, two IL-76s were shot down (claimed by US officials).

Russian casualties claimed by the Ukrainians for the first 36 hours (I think) are:

100+ tanks
500+ "Armoured Combat Vehicles"
17+ aircraft (helos and jets)
3000~ troops.

I would have downgraded the Ukrainian estimates to 1000~ killed; since after all, you can count burned out wrecks on the battlefield and be sure of vehicle losses; but human losses are hard.

But after the Vasylkiv assault with two IL-76s shot down, I'm inclined now to increase it to 2000~ killed.

Nice graphic of military situation for 26 of February 2022



As for now Wikipedia is one of best sources about battles which are fought on Ukraine

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...ion_of_Ukraine
And official Ukrainians comunicates about war and military equipment which they recive
https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-ato

I also d'like to add info about other nations involved in this war

Belorusia
Dictator Lukaszenka denied any involment of Belorusia in this war but are some movies which shows that rockets are lanuched from Belorusians vilages against Ukraine. Secoundly On 24 February, State Border Guard Service of Ukraine reported about Russian troops trying to break through the Belarus-Ukraine border at Vilcha border crossing, and a helicopter without identification marks attacking a bridge near Slavutych. So that is confirmed belorusian involvment in this war
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belaru...ion_of_Ukraine

Chechen
They are on both sides so for them that is an civil war.
From one side are https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dzhokh...ayev_Battalion they fight already on Ukrainian side in battle of Kyiv https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyiv_offensive_(2022) and they fight Russia since first Chechen war in 1994. They support indenpendent Chechen Republic of Ichkeria emigree goverment in London. From the secound side are Kadyrovtsy who also fights against Russia in 1994 first chechen war but alies with them in 1999 since there Kadyrov father and now son is a sole dictator of Chechen Republic which is part of Russia Federal Republic.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kadyrovtsy

Georgian
Georgian Legion of volounters often veterans of Georgian-Russia war of 2008 fight on Ukrainian side since 2014 and also in this war in 2022.

Crimean Tatar
They have Crimean Tatar "Noman Çelebicihan Battalion" which fight on Ukraininan side since 2015 and support Ukrainian Crimea. Is also supported by Turkey. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noman_...ihan_Battalion. In Ukrainian war of 2022 they are part of Odessa defenders.

Moldova
They are not involveed now but their army is mobilised now because the have fear that their teritory will be used by Russians to agression on Ukraine. Since 1992 after https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transnistria_War there existing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transnistria semi soviet state not recognised by anyone and now they may also sign indenpedece. In this part of Moldova stationed Russian troops which may be also used to attack on Odessa. So looks like Moldovians are traing to not allow using their teritory for invasion of Ukraine and secoundly not allow Transistria to declare indenpedence with help of Russia.
