Russia Has Invaded Ukraine

As of last night, Vladimir Putin has declared a “special military operation” in Ukraine and Russia’s invasion of that country—which experts have been predicting for weeks now—is underway.

Typically today is when I would write and publish a “Quick Hits” article for Tipping Point, but I believe it’s important to inform you about what is happening right now.

I saw news beginning to break before I went to sleep last night and woke up to reports that a Ukrainian presidential advisor had told western media countries that a “full-fledged large-scale war has begun in Europe.” This official added, “Russia is attacking not just Ukraine, but all the rules of normal life in the modern world. What will be left of the security system on the continent? Zero.”
