Kyiv canceled a planned evacuation of more than 200,000 civilians from Mariupol and Volnovakha on Saturday after Moscow ignored a promised ceasefire and continued pounding the strategic port city: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's office said that talks are underway to establish a ceasefire and ensure the humanitarian corridor originally agreed for five hours between 12pm and 5pm Moscow time after local authorities told people to shelter. Mariupol's deputy mayor Serhiy Orlov told the BBC: 'The Russians are continuing to bomb us and use artillery. It is crazy. There is no ceasefire in Mariupol and there is no ceasefire all along the route. Our civilians are ready to escape but they cannot escape under shelling.' An official told NPR: 'When the people organized in evacuation points, they [Russians] started an attack on evacuation points. Not all the city. Just evacuation points.' Here's H.T's latest article. Let's hope the Rapture happens today ! I am in Pennsylvania Tonight After the Israeli PM traveled on a plane -- on the SABBATH -- met with Putin, talked 3 hours, departed . . and Israel immediately told all their citizens to "leave Russia immediately" I figured we are VERY close to the SHTF. I have been needing to bring a pick-up-truck-load of "stuff" up here. I've been putting it off and putting it off, mostly because I didn't want to do the physical labor of loading the truck. Got motivated today! So aside from clothing, I think we have all our ducks in a row as far as whatever "preps" we could afford and store with what little room there is. From this point on, anything else would be incidentals; comfort items like DVD's and CD's. I have a lot of install work to do tomorrow for the communications gear. Not for my radio show - that's already done as much as can be done. This is the big pain in the ass other COMMS gear, but gotta get it done. Talked with a couple neighbors tonight to let them know I'm the one in here. A few stopped by to talk. I'm really tired right now 11:55 PM, so off to sleep. https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/en/news-page/news-nation/i-am-in-pennsylvania-tonight Visa and Mastercard suspend operations in Russia: Visa and Mastercard are cutting ties with Russia as Western sanctions continue to ravage the Russian economy in response to Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. The Independent reported that Visa and Mastercard are suspending operations in Russia “over the coming days.” Visa said that once its ban is in place Visa bank and credit cards issued in Russia will not work abroad and cards issued to people outside of Russia will not work inside the country. The company said, “With this action, cards issued by Russian banks will no longer be supported by the Mastercard network. And, any Mastercard issued outside of the country will not work at Russian merchants or ATMs.” Al Kelly, the CEO of Visa, said, “We are compelled to act following Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, and the unacceptable events that we have witnessed.” https://www.theblaze.com/news/visa-and-mastercard-suspend-operations-in-russia Fox News' Greg Gutfeld thanks colleagues for helping rescue his mother-in-law from Ukraine: Fox News host Greg Gutfeld, whose mother-in-law has been trapped in Ukraine during the conflict with Russia, thanked his colleagues on Friday for helping her to finally reach safety in Poland as she fled from the conflict with Russia. Gutfeld shared an emotional video segment showing his mother-in-law being reunited with his wife Elena after she successfully made it to Poland. Gutfeld explained that his mother, who is from Ukraine, went back to visit family after her husband passed away from COVID. "Her husband passed away from COVID last year, so she'd been spending time — she was born in Ukraine, she's a Ukrainian Russian — so she was with her cousins or whatnot in this little tiny village when all this stuff happened. So we had to get her out of there and get her back, you know, thanks to Fox," Gutfeld said. Gutfeld lamented the fact that, while his mother-in-law had been successfully evacuated, there were still millions of refugees still stuck in Ukraine who are attempting to flee the escalating violence in that country. "She was fortunate enough to make it to safety, but there are still millions and millions in danger." Russian TV channel condemns war as staff walk out while live on air: Staff at an independent Russian television station signed off their final broadcast by decrying war and walking out of the studio in protest. According to a report from Newsweek, Russian authorities ordered the station to cease broadcasting over its coverage of the country's invasion of Ukraine. The report noted that Russian authorities demanded media refrain from referring to President Vladimir Putin's invasion as a "war" and instead insisted they use the term "special military operation." Those in violation of the newly authorized law face up to 15 years in prison. Station staffers signed off their final show on Thursday and walked out of the studio. "No to war," Natalia Sindeyeva, the station's general director, said on Thursday as staff left the studio and made the decision to air Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake," which according to the report, "was aired on Soviet state TV during the collapse of the Soviet Union." https://www.theblaze.com/news/russian-tv-channel-condemns-war-as-staff-walk-out-while-live-on-air
