There is no doubt in my mind anymore that the Russians will invade Ukraine. The surest sign of this is Russian foreign minister Lavrov's adamantly today denying any Russian plans of invading Ukraine. The only question is the timing. Will it take place right after Sunday's "referendum" or later?
Maybe Putin needs a few more days to mobilise an overwhelming occupation force and to produce an excuse to attack. However, they have been busy working for the excuse and that won't take long anymore. My quess would be right after the "referendum", Sunday or Monday at the latest. I sure hope NATO is prepared to stop the Russians and at the same time I fear the USA and Nato haven't taken this seriously enough...
In these articles you will see clearly how the next steps of this process is being orchestrated from Moscow:

My deepest sympathies are with you, Ukrainians! I dearly hope the Western World will not leave you behind when the push comes to shove...
