Ukraine Developments -- February 12, 2022

The telephone call between Putin and Biden is over; nothing new.

About an hour ago, Global Hawk completed a one-day to three-day mission over northern and eastern Ukraine.

As soon as the telephone call was over, and as soon as Forte-One-Two departed the theater of operations, a fleet of Russian helicopters was seen and filmed headed toward the Ukraine border.  This video was taken at about 12:30 p.m. CT, Saturday, February 12, 2022.

The telephone call:

• first direct contact between the two men since December 30, 2021;
• the phone call lasted one hour and two minutes
• ended at 12:06 p.m. ET
• the WH readout was more of the same
• Putin's readout not available, but probably: "what a waste of time. That's an hour I will never get back."
