Evacuation centre set up in city of Lviv
Thailand's junta has established up an evacuation centre Ukraine's western city of Lviv, and all Thais and their familes arre urged to get there. ASAP.
 Ukraine has closed its airspace, so there is no way that any aircraft can be dispatched directly to help Thai citizens and their families.

 The Foreign Affairs Ministry in Bangkok instructed the Thai embassy in Warsaw, Poland, on Friday to set up an operation centre in Lviv. It will coordinate efforts with Ukrainian authorities to evacuate Thai nationals.
 Embassy officials from Kyiv and elsewhere in Europe will also be sent to the centre.

 War by the Russian army has caused no effect on Russian tourism.
 The Gulf of Thailand's island resot of Koh Samui has had "no significant cancellations". The island is the favourite destination for Russian tourists (13,063 this year), followed by Germans (10,412) and French (8,900).
 The Russian rouble is falling faster than a skydiver without a parachute, and that's got to hurt.

Also Zelensky, as dutifully re-tweeted by Jennifer Griffin, dykey war slut of Fox News:
 "We call on all civilized countries to impose an embargo on Russian oil products, ban Russian citizens from entering your territory and disconnect Russia from SWIFT. We call on NATO, Europe, the United States to close the sky over Ukraine..."

 "Send US and NATO warplanes to shoot down Russian warplanes over Ukraine."

Tens of thousands of people have fled the major cities.
 Dozens have been reported killed. Russian troops seized the Chernobyl former nuclear power plant north of Kyiv as they advanced on the city from Belarus.
 The United States believes Russia's initial aim is to topple President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and "decapitate" his government.
 He said the troops were coming for him, but he would stay in Kyiv.
Missiles pummel Kyiv, Russian troops advance
 The Russian army is close to Kyiv, the Ukraine capital, and began Friday night to pour in rocket fire.
 Sirens wailed over Kyiv, a city of 3 million people, and some residents sheltered in underground metro stations, a day after Russian President Vladimir Putin launched an invasion that has shocked the world.
 Ukrainian anti-aircraft troops shot down a Russian air force bomber.
 It crashed into a building in Kyiv, setting it ablaze and injuring eight people.

'We will defend our soil.' Ukraine's Charge d'Affaires in Thailand comments on Russian invasion
The goal of the Russian offensive military operation is to destroy the Ukrainian democratic state, to seize by force our territory, and to establish an occupational regime loyal to Moscow.
 This is an act of war, an attack on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, a brutal violation of the UN Charter and basic norms and principles of international law.
 A new war, a full-scale armed conflict in the very heart of Europe, was launched by Russia.
 The aggressor state crossed Ukraine's borders from Russia and Belarus, launched missiles on our cities, attacked with aviation, tanks and artillery, and then sent subversion and reconnaissance groups.
ASEAN THAILAND TOURISM
Asia Aviation reports more losses in 2021 as Covid-19 continues to impair air travel
During 2021, Thailand faced severe domestic outbreaks of Covid-19, notably the outbreak of the Delta variant in the third quarter, which halted air travel in a bid to contain the spread of the virus.
 Asia Aviation (AAV), however, managed to see improved performance in the fourth quarter of the year thanks to the Test and Go programme that allowed vaccinated visitors to travel in the country from November.
 The airline recorded an 11-per-cent lower net loss of 990 million baht compared to the same quarter a year before.

U.S.A. Centers for Disease Control angry at U.S. citizens and visitors for rushing far too quickly to get a second anti-Chinese Covid-19 vaccination.
 And while we're on the subject of insufficient data from incompetent agencies:
 How is it that we're only now learning about immunity fading more quickly if the initial two shots are spaced more closely together?
 ... Pfizer and Moderna have shown that patients who held off for two months retained their immunity for significantly longer than those who rushed out for the second dose after three or four weeks.
 But you didn't need to know that, and the CDC will decide when to release such data.

THAILAND MISSING TORTURE
Thai parliament makes disappearing, torturing illegal
 The bill easily cleared the third and final reading with a vote of 359-3, with one abstention.
 The legislation will now go to the Senate for approval, which could be in the next parliamentary sitting in May.
 The legislation combined four similar bills proposed by the cabinet; the House committee on law, justice and human rights; the Prachachat Party and the Democrat Party. They were integrated during scrutiny as part of the second reading, with the cabinet's version used as the core bill.
 A commission will be formed to deal specifically with forced disappearance and torture cases through multi-disciplinary approaches including human rights and psychology. MPs will take part in selecting the commissioners.
