Ukraine’s government continues to escalate its claims of a Russian invasion, now insisting that there are several thousand Russian troops, backed by tanks and artillery, and mysteriously totally unphotographed in eastern Ukraine.
The eastern civil war continues along the nation’s southeast coastline, where rebels are advancing on the key Donetsk Province port of Mariupol. Hundreds of rebels were photographed making there way toward Mariupol, but again, none of the “thousands” of Russians were seen.
The Ukrainian military is now picking up calls for a dramatic increase in NATO shipment of weapons and ammunition, saying they have not been providing any weapons to the troops invading the breakaway east.
Ukraine also wants to become a member of NATO now, because then when they come up with their dubious claims of Russian “invasion” it would immediately start World War 3. NATO, needless to say, has not generally admitted members with existing territorial disputes, and would not consider Ukraine specifically because doing so would quickly escalate into a massive war.
Incredibly, while the non-credible invasion claims continue to circulate, Presidents Putin and Poroshenko met and worked out a deal on more shipments of humanitarian aid into Ukraine’s east. Russia will provide future aid by rail. The last humanitarian aid shipments Russia made, last Friday by truck, were also dubbed an “invasion” by Ukrainian officials.
There is a saying: when they win they sing, when they lose they ask for NATO, the mother of all militarism regimes with that son of RattMussen to help.
I'm asking myself how much propaganda is needed to make statement that NATO is the mother of all militarism regimes? Oh I forgot, the "separatists" are really not supported more or less openly by Russia, and they got their anti-aircraft guns, tanks and weaponry flowing from the east from Santa. And correct me if I'm worng but wasn't it Russia who invided Crimea first claiming that the soldiers seizing local goverment are just unknown "men in green" and afterwards they were opelny rewarded for their service on Crimea? What about houndreds missing russian soldiers from their homes or soldiers captured by Ukrainian army and openly claiming they are fight in Ukraine?
This only tells me that you'll believe whatever bad western journalism tells you, and you're not using antiwar.com for its intended purpose.
Oh really. I'm looking for every possible source of information about this conflict including Russian media. But I'm from Slovakia, former Czechoslovakia and yes, we have similar experience with "brother" help from SSSR. I'm not refusing there is also a lot of desinformation on ukrainian side but it is clearly visible from where the winds blowing.
Good news – the Soviet Union broke up! Tell your friends.
Well than you have a lot of catching up to do. You appear still to be living in the past, mate.
Really, Mr Ditz! Do you expect Russian soldiers to appear in uniform? And if any were in uniform, do you rwally expect that they would allow themselves to be photographed? Sounds like the pro-Putin camp in the US is getting increasingly desperate!
Well, SOMEONE is getting increasingly desperate. But you shouldn't. Chances are that sooner or later you'll get one right.
Why bother answering to this guy?
Like his fellow neocons he's always wrong about everything but that never stops them.
US military specialists are helping ukrainian army.There are mercenaries in the ukrainian army (the most popular is a swedish sniper).There is also private forces paid by oligarch Kolmoyski fighting with ukrainian army.One Kiev deputy of Rada is acompagnying Kiev special forces arresting proseparatists persons;During the arrest they film how they beat them.One thing is clear :he is not a judge and has no mandate to do that.Nobody knows where the arrested persons disepear..Anyway by these actions he makes himself a lot of publicity.On the separatist side you have many volunteers coming from Russia but they are usually ukrainians born in the Donestk or Slaviansk region. That is why the conflict will not stop without a good will from both sides.Western politics do not understand that they must also hear the separatist side and press Kiev to stop bombing their families and relatives.
