I have a friend who is a senior military figure here in NZ and he reckons there's not much that anyone will/can do for Ukraine as it stands.

He reckons the US may step in in some capacity, but he says that condemnation of Russia is not a deterrent to Putin.

By all accounts Russia is now marching towards Kyiv, controls the rebel held areas in the east of the country, Donbas and Luhansk and is making plays for Odesa from the Black Sea in the South.

I'm no military man, but if a neighbouring country like Belarus is allowing thoroughfare for Russian troops, tanks etc I'd be turning anti aircraft missiles and anti tank missiles towards Belarus to cut off supply. I know its not that simple, but otherwise it's only a couple of hours from the border to the capital. I believe Russia has already taken the area surrounding Chernobyl and that is only about 100kms from the Kyiv.
