The Ukrainian military invasion of the city of Kramatorsk suffered another setback today, when a militia loyal to the protesters ambushed an armored personnel carrier heading into town.
The militia was hiding in the bushes, and fired a rocket-propelled grenade at the APC, blowing it up and killing seven Ukrainian soldiers. A protracted gunfight ensued, during which one of the militia was killed and many others were wounded on both sides.
Including today’s deaths, Ukraine has confirmed 16 soldiers killed in their ongoing invasion of the eastern oblasts of Donetsk and Luhansk. The fighting has centered on the neighboring cities of Kramatorsk and Slovyansk in the north of Donetsk.
Ukraine’s interim government has promised to “liquidate” the protesters in the oblasts and return the areas to government control. A referendum held over the weekend affirmed the creation of an autonomous protester entity in the region called the People’s Republic of Donetsk, whose leadership aims at either increased autonomy or outright secession
I'll be interesting to see how many losses the Ukrainian people are willing to tolerate over regions that don't to have anything to do with the Ukraine. Not sure if the people have any say anyway when it comes to their unelected foreign puppet administration.

That's why mercenaries are already being used.
The "militia" should now be the defence forces of the peoples republic of Donetsk/Lugansk and the "Ukrainian military soldiers" refered to is, since the military of the Ukranian army still refuses to kill it´s own people and largly remain in their barracks, now loyal western Ukrainian Nazi freaks from the bloody Maidan coup trained and armed by CIA/Mossad in training camps in Poland/Lithuania. I.E death squads, There you have it.
After having 40 of their people chased into a building and burned alive by these fascist arsonists, cheered on by their US sponsors and killed at large numbers in hit and run attacks in cities and checkpoints or by helicopter gunships and fighter planes, this and the gunning down of four choppers previously, is a major victory and a reminder that their 48 hours deadline of the US imposed Nazi junta to leave Donbass is serious business.
Moreover, at least one of the dreadful hind gunships gunning down anti-nazi defence forces and civilians alike had UN insignia as proved in this video: http://vk.com/video-55921885_168548518?og=1
Something the UN and Bang ka-Boom will be drawn attention to no matter how much they toe the US line…
Yes, the peoples' militia needs to be converted into a Peoples' Army immediately. Continued intrusions by the fascist filth from Kiev should face a response of steel. Kiev is not dealing with an eastern province of Ukraine now but with the glorious and independent Peoples' Republic of Donetsk.
They are not soldiers. They are the National Guard, which is full of Right Sector recruits.
A stout and robust defense by a heroic people facing the aggression of Western imperial capitalism.
Qui bono ? Can one be sure it was "russian militia" and not one of the 400 US mercenaries who have allegedly been sent there ?
