This might need its own thread fairly soon. Pretty strong comments from Biden and Johnson in the last hour. Intelligence claiming it’s happening in the next 48 hours.
We have had decades of war on terror post 9/11 looks like we are now onto the next. Very dark day for the world the moment we have Americans shooting at Russians.
News reports are coming through that attacks on the Russians will appear in the next 48-72 hours, depending on which news site is reporting. We will see how it turns out in the coming hours.
We’ll do it when coverage warrants it.
This isn’t really the place to speculate on when events might happen.
CNN now has key hosts in Ukraine including Erin Burnett, Jim Sciutto and Michael Holmes.
We must be more than 36hrs into the 48hour invasion countdown. Is anything happening?
Why are 10 using a NZ news hub reporter for a look live in Ukraine? How tacky.
Why is it tacky? Why can’t they use affiliates’ resources when available?
Journalists are humans too…. And don’t need to work 18 hour days to satisfy little ol’ you in Australia mate.
It’s resourceful, not tacky
10 have now sent over Paul Gonzo. I believe he filed his first report from Poland last night. He’s now based on the Ukraine border.
Might be worth making this event as it’s own thread now.
ABC News Channel first story at 11pm was the Queen’s COVID diagnosis but nothing apart from the official statement.
I wonder how many Australian breakfast show producers will be woken early to start work on organising royal experts to appear on the shows they work for. They’ll be morbidly pontificating about the Queen’s prognosis until she is next seen in public.
Yep… massive headlines tomorrow.

Seems like the next 24hrs is critical to de escalate.
Holly Williams is an Australian, Turkey based CBS news foreign correspondent. She’s very good. At least with using her the Australian accent allows for authenticity in the coverage seeming it’s Australian focused.
