We encountered a technical issue on The Saker Blog. This necessitated a system restore back to yesterday morning. Herb informs me that it is the first time on our production system in seven years.

While we catch up on all the articles posted yesterday, and the new ones for today, I leave you with an open thread.

The serious Ukraine watchers, please sitrep for us the situation as of this morning while I keep myself busy with restoration work on articles and Herb picks up post-restore issues including an assessment if we can recover all comments from yesterday.

Thanks

Amarynth & Herb
