Ukrainian separatist rebels are reporting “heavy losses” today as the nation’s military attacks the key Donetsk Oblast town of Krasny Liman, along with several neighboring villages.
Details are scarce on the fighting, but the rebels report 20 Ukrainian tanks along with other armored vehicles attacking the town. The rebels claimed to have destroyed a single tank and have so far prevented an advance into the town.
Ukraine’s military told the rebels they had “three hours” to unilaterally disarm, and attacked when they refused. The military has since been dropping leaflets on Krasny Liman that read “You will all be destroyed! There will be no further warnings,” along with separate leaflets ordering all civilians to leave town immediately.
The rebels continue to call for Russian aid in the face of the offensive, and NATO today claimed Russia has been deploying troops close to the border again. Russia has warned Ukraine it won’t stand by while the Ukrainian military attacks the ethnic Russian easterners, and the two sides have been talking about a ceasefire, though so far it hasn’t materialized on either side.

The USA is just a flat out accomplice in this terrorism. Obama just gave Ukr 48 million more dollars for this.
Europ and USA silently look at the genocide.It is a pity that Yanoukovitsh did not arrest Yatseniuk in due time.How can a "rebel" resist armed with a kalshnikov to a tank ? Ukrainian army shoot on churches,on civilians.They have no morality.The blood of innocent vitims will be on them.
Clearly, all this has been agreed with Putin. The essential step on his part is to seal off his side of the border and, of necessity, that requires troops that would not normally be stationed in the area. It is noticeable that no one in NATO is getting excited about the arrival of those troops, which suggests that NATO is in on the arrangement. Basically, the entire neocon scam has fallen apart.
My goodness what victorious heroes those fascist coup killers must be, seven brave solders wasted so that 300 of the enemy may be destroyed. Then again, if this is like everything coming out of Kiev pure propaganda again, the reality of it could be quite the reverse.
As long as the foreign govt is a satellite/client of the US establishment, they can pretty much do as they will as long as it doesn't make too much headlines. Look at the hypocrisy of these dems/repubs. They want to remove Assad because he is fighting the same Jihadists in his own country but then fight these very same Jihadists in Iraq????
People have no water (deliberatly destroid by Ukrainian army) no food.Russian journalists are killed as witnesses. Next step of Kiev : concentration camps for the population, called for you filtration camps.Where are the international observers, human right watch ,the red cross,the western journalist ?
Other sources report a major defeat for Kiev loyalists.
Now another "decisive" offensive is announced by the Kiev junta.
One thing is verifiable, both sides hold on the about same positions and there's no military breakthrough.
