There was a report yesterday originating with official Kiev and given to Reuters: The Rooskis were coming. The Russian military had given Ukrainian forces a "surrender deadline" of 4 or 5 am local time, 10 pm Normal People Time. Naturally, the story flared intensely for a few hours and was picked up by googles of other news outlets. Official Washington had not heard of it and the Russians issued a denial, but nobody believes the Russians. The story turned out to be not true.
