Russian border officials were sent to the Rostov Province today to investigate reports of cross-border fire by Ukrainian military forces. The trip did not go well, and Russia is now accusing Ukraine’s military of trying to kill the investigators.
According to Russian accounts, some 40 shells fired by Ukraine’s military fell in the Rostov Province, including 30 that fell in a village that the investigators were visiting, forcing them to flee in armored vehicles.
Cross-border fire is becoming a growing allegation on both sides, with Ukraine’s government countering by claiming the Russian military was shelling their forces during battles with eastern rebels, trying to support the rebel counter-attack.
Russia has denied the claims of directly arming the rebels, but have warned the Ukrainian government against their continuing offensives against east Ukraine, predominantly ethnic Russian. Some 250,000 Ukrainians have fled into Russia as a result of the military operation.
The Russians are damned if they do and damned if they dont.
Whatever happens the MAD US and EU will continue to blame Russia for the murderous Nazi Regieme in Kiev;s action s in their vowed determination to KILL ALL EAST UKRAINIANS.
The Russians might as well go to the aid of their countrymen BEFORE they are all killed and to hell with the US and EU.
GO PUTIN – THE WORLD IS WITH YOU.
I agree it is time to fight back the bullies.
your idea is ok with me I think Russia is the innocent party in this case . But Obama and the stupid U.S. government might try stop Russia from correcting the situation .. look at the mess the United States created in Yugoslavia , Libya and Iraq . they have tried hard to destroy Egypt and Syria too and maybe have .. The world needs some common sense that just maybe Russia can provide .. Now Russia is the worlds only chance . They are the only country that could possibly make the United States wish they had not started another war . The world just got rid of NAZIs in the 2 w war we sure as heck don't need them again .
yep, i am sure that behind the scenes the belligerent extremists in our govt are telling the Ukraine's to go ahead and go to town so that it will provoke a Russian response. Then the ugly woman Powers can spew her hatred at the UN about how evil Putin is. Its pathetic how there is ample proof that Ukraine is ethnically cleansing Russian Ukrainians in the east and using indiscriminate bombing and shelling killing hundreds of civilians and our loser govt says its Russia's fault. sounds like blaming the rape victim.
Encouraging Kiev to make war to its own citizen,Mrs Ashton is in fact the real responsible of the killing not only ukrainian citizen but also of the passengers of the malaisian airways.
The fact that Mr Ditz describes Eastern Ukraine as "predominantly ethnic Russian" indicates the increasing desperation of the rebel cause. The Russian colonists constitute little more than 1/3 of the population in the rebel provinces and even less elsewhere. And, of course, we have no idea what proprotion of the colonists support the rebellion. And, as I speculated earlier, it does look increasingly like an attempt to provoke Putin. Not surprising. If Putin isn't decisively defeated, Israel's American protector is discredited and it is essentially that fear which is causing Israel to lash out in blind panic in Gaza.
Israel wants the Gas just off the coast of Gaza, and will use any excuse it can to get at it!
are you a crazy Nazi ?
The current Ukraine Regime is classical National Socialist Ideals, we have seen in the not to distant past (a few MONTHS back) attacks in Western Ukraine on Jewish properties, We have heard the Current members of the Government call the Russian speakers, scum and worse and threaten to kill them all!
Whilst I am none to happy with the activities of Russia in many areas, I am less happy with any National Socialist uprisings anywhere on the planet! This continuing call from the west that Russia directly provided the Missiles that downed the civilian flight has been shown to be incorrect even by statements from the Western Ukraine Government in that they at least at one stage claimed that they had been stolen, of course the Eastern Ukraine's would say LIBERATED from Ukraine's Military arsenals! there are FOUR regiments of these weapons in Ukraine, one of which was permanently stationed in the eastern Oblasts. Russia is not responsible for the Eastern Ukraine's to have the Weapons they were sold to the Previous Ukraine Government!
