Reports earlier today that the Ukrainian government lost contact with an An-26 military transport plane over Luhansk have now transitioned to reports that the plane crashed, apparently shot down.
Defense Minister Valeriy Heletei says they have been contacted by the crew from the plane, which apparently survived, and he says they believe the plane was shot down by Russia.
Details are still scant, but the allegation claims that the plane came under fire from something “more powerful” than the shoulder-carried missiles the eastern rebels have been using, and that they believe it was “probably fired” from inside Russia.
Fighting continues in both Donetsk and Luhansk, with the military claiming to have ended a rebel blockade on an eastern airport and launched airstrikes against several targets inside Luhansk.
Eastern Ukrainians, largely ethnic Russians, have been rebelling for months, since the ouster of the pro-Russian government by western protesters. The rebellion has added to tensions between Russia and Ukraine, which soared over the weekend with a report of a cross-border shelling by Ukraine killing a Russian civilian.
From Zbigniew Berzinski to Paul Wolfowitz to Richard pearl Carl Rove to Dick Cheney to Rumsfeld to George W. Bush and others, they all presenting one and the only politics, hate toward Arab nationals, hate toward Russian nationals, hate toward mankind and hate toward anything that any nation have achieved which therefore they need to destroy it. Berzinski, actually wants for Russian people to leave Ukraine whereby RAND corporation after getting paid suggested that Ukrainian Neo fascism government needs to intensify their military action toward innocent people everywhere, so was others idea to kill as many Iraqi as possible, like what they did at highway of death over 150 thousands of Iraqis leaving Kuwait were killed by US Air Force, over one million Iraqi children were killed by Madeline Albright and Bill Clinton. Now Barack Hussein Obama and his creation of ISIS which have completed the Hitlerism collection in falsified democracy and If these people actions against humanity is not making Hitler dancing on his grave then I don't know what dose.
The Kiev junta has zero credibility.
All this sounds like part of the ongoing campaign to provoke a war between Russia and Ukraine. The shots from the Russian side probably came from contractors, who would have heavy weapons. It also suggests that the Russian government isn´t really in control of its territory, which in its turn suggests that the Russian Federation might break up into warlord-controlled zones, as China did in the 1920s.
This is Nazi bull reiterated by CNN & Co
If Ditz have been paying a little bit more attention lately, he would have known that the self-defence forces overran a ukie military base two weeks ago with BUK air defence systems which is exactly the weapon they used here, in other words, they established a very own NFZ as demonstrated by this AN plane as well as, in alles, four fighter jets downed since Friday.
They even got an airforce, albeit a small one so far, out of the SU 25 they captured and made operable recently and on it´s first mission yesterday destroyed 6 tank´s and one APC, not bad at all….
