Calling it an invasion seems off, as their forces were already there. The Guardian has live updates at this page.

Are any Soylentils in or from the region? Do you have any insights to share?

    Ukraine was once known as "the breadbasket of Russia" -- what might that have to do with it, if anything?

    Nothing, as far as I can tell (but I am not well versed in economics of the area.)

    The issues at hand are: a hostile state on the border; a creeping lawlessness, like Chechnya of 1990's; genocide against ethnic Russians[1]; and extension of NATO.
