(BING TRANSLATION)Ukrainian special forces in a brutal battle, defeated a large group of terrorists, who attempted to breakout from a surrounded our combatant Slavyansk.
According to sources "Censor." at the headquarters of the ATO, several hundred thugs attacked positions of our pieces, and were thrown back with heavy losses podospevšimi on reserves.
The fight captured significant quantities of sophisticated weapons in Russia, the RUSSIAN GRU spetsnaz. Place the battle left for us at the moment is trimming the battle died down, literally 30 minutes ago.
The decisive role played by INTERIOR MINISTRY special forces detachments "Omega" and "Jaguar", AS special forces detachment alpha.
Unfortunately, in a heavyweight bout our troops have suffered heavy losses. 4 Ukrainian soldier killed, 1 in critical condition. About 20 soldiers were injured, it helped, they were evacuated by helicopters to nearby hospitals.
Eternal memory to the fallen in the battle for freedom and independence of our homeland.
The Brits were right. The pIRA were and are terrorists. You are no doubt aware of Gerry Adam’s recent arrest? Why do you think he was released with no charges? Threats to re-ignite ‘The Troubles’ from the ‘provos’! The ‘provo’ religion is nothing but blood and communism. They never got rid of all their guns, merely hid them.
Of course. They are fed Putin propaganda, they don't think for themselves, and they react to it.
A foreshadow of what will happen in this country after decades of propaganda targeted to make certain segments of our country pissed off.
And people think it's just happening over there.
I wish the Ukrainian people well and independence from a Russia tyranny as it will be a leading indicator what happens here.
And more than a few are posting on FR, right товарищ? I hope the FSB rewards you well for your efforts.
Putin has sent Chechens. I imagine that will go over well with the locals. UKR is getting some good intel from locals. They wouldn’t have been able to operate and lay a major smack down on Team FSB today without it.
He's also sending S. Ossetians too.
Putin did this in Georgia. He sent Muslim Chechens to do ethnic cleansing of Georgian Christians in S. Ossetia.
Georgia has a 4 million people. UKR 45 million. And Putin is using the same tactics?
So where is UKR supposed to send the Chechen body bags?
Putin is afloat in his own flatulence. He’s escalating the situation without understanding the dynamics of this new live stream/twitter/internet war.
I’m trying to be reasonable, and you just want to be an a**.
Not taking the MaidanPR propaganda at face value is “Working for the FSB?
I’m SURE you are quite the hit over at Dailykos, right?

UK military
Rescorla left Hayle in 1956 to join the British military.[3] He enlisted in the British Army in 1957, training as a paratrooper with The Parachute Regiment and then serving with an intelligence unit in Cyprus during the EOKA Cypriot insurgency[4] from 1957 to 1960.[3] He then served as a paramilitary police inspector in the Northern Rhodesia Police (now the Zambia Police Service)[4] from 1960 to 1963, experiences which made him a fierce anti-Communist.[3] It was during the latter post that he met and forged a "life-altering friendship" with American soldier Daniel J. Hill, who inspired Rescorla to join the U.S. Army and fight in Vietnam[4] in order to fight the communists.[3] On returning to London and civilian life, he joined the Metropolitan Police Service.
US military
His tenure at the Met was shortlived and he soon resigned and moved to the United States. He lived at a YMCA hostel in Brooklyn until he was able to enlist in the Army. "Rick", as he would thereafter be known, enlisted in the United States Army in 1963 and after basic training at Fort Dix, he attended Officer Candidate School and airborne training at Fort Benning. Upon graduating Rescorla was assigned as a platoon leader in the 2nd Battalion, 7th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile).
Rescorla was sent to Vietnam, where he served under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Hal Moore. The two participated in the 1965 Battle of Ia Drang, which Moore would later describe in a 1992 book he co-authored We Were Soldiers Once… And Young, (from which the 2002 Mel Gibson film We Were Soldiers would be adapted). Rescorla is the soldier pictured on the book jacket cover. Co-author Lieutenant Colonel Hal Moore described him as "the best platoon leader I ever saw". Rescorla's men nicknamed him "Hard Core" for his bravery in battle and revered him for his good humor and compassion towards his men.[3][7] He is also mentioned in the book Baptism by Larry Gwin who also fought at Ia Drang. The fourteenth chapter of the book Rescorla's Game describes him as the "Cornish Hawk". Despite this tough image, according to his second wife and widow Susan Rescorla in her book, Touched by a Hero, music was "so central" to Rick's life that he sang to his troops in Vietnam to calm them – something he would later employ during 9/11.[4]
Rescorla's Vietnam honors included the Silver Star, the Bronze Star with Oak Leaf Cluster, a Purple Heart and the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry.[citation needed]

In April 2001 Rescorla was chosen for induction into the Infantry Officer Candidate School Hall of Fame and was invited to participate in ceremonies at Fort Benning.[3]
Here's a bio of his good friend, Daniel Hill, who served in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), Vietnam and Afghanistan:
Daniel J. Hill (born 1938 in Oak Park, Illinois) joined the United States Army at the age of 15, by lying about his age. He eventually became a Special Forces paratrooper and served in Germany, where he participated in missions during the Hungarian Revolution and the struggle for control of Lebanon in 1958.
Following his tour in Germany, he was selected for Ranger school at Fort Benning, where he was asked to return as an instructor. In 1960 he was assigned to infiltrate the Katanga insurrection in the Congo where he met his lifelong friend, Rick Rescorla.
Hill served as a lieutenant during his first tour in Vietnam and a captain during his second. After his first tour, he was awarded the Silver Star for heroism at Trung Luong, five Bronze Stars, the Purple Heart, the Army Commendation Medal, and the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry with Palm Leaf.[citation needed] After retiring from the US Army, he converted to Islam and spent time fighting with the Mujahideen against the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan.[
Actually, Berkut (American equivalent is the SWAT) was disbanded couple of months ago.
There’s a new structure that has been setup, the National Guard, which is halfway between police and the army. It’s composed of former (vetted) police forces and the Self-Defense of Maidan. It’s currently being used n Sloviansk.
But at the local level, it’s still the same local crooked cops. There’re just so many fires to put out and Avakov (minister of the Internal Affairs) has to rely on them (some Ukrainians start to criticize, it’s betrayal of Maidan by the new government). But Avakov scored many points with this recent offensive in Sloviansk against the Russian terrorists.
As opposed to jumping head first into the propoganda sea which is Russia Today
Sorry so late getting back to you....working.
I understand there are numerous getting ready to go into Ukraine. ....not just from The Commanders Group. But many Spetnaz , as well as those with training, were downsized in Russia Gov/Military. So these guys formed their own groups for hire. I suspect they’re either are already there, in small numbers, and many more will join them.
Should this occur it will be far ‘more’ than if someone was going up against Massad! These guys are under nobody’s thumb and they fight without rules.
BTW...am reading and seeing that beheadings are already occurring there...Islamic style. It’s going to get real nasty and brutal in Ukraine.
Just so you know...the majority of the new recruits, when Keiv called for “New” Nat’l Guard Unit, is composed of “Right Sector” members.
What Keiv is up against is their own police forces and some of their military refuse to take Kievs orders. Here’s a video of Odessa Police throwing their Shields in a pile and walking away.... who refused Keivs orders the following day of the Trades Building fire.

As a reminder....Ukraine’s General Prosecutor is from Right Sector. So any arrests made etc. over Odessa fire etc. will be “soft”.
You could have provided his Twitter handle: @DmitryTymchuk
Why would Chechens and S. Ossetians fight for Putin?
On a serious note, Yarosh had declared that Right Sector members will not be joining the National Guard, because "it doesn't offer any real combat training, and is just a trip to a military base." Link
Maidan Self-Defense Force, the basis of the Guard, is not the same thing as Right Sector. I know the Russian policy is to group everyone and call them "nazi", but that's not serious, that's how how we get to Russian terms like "Yid-Banderite"
The Guard is like the Army, reporting to Kiev. Right Sector does its own thing. All too often, Kiev and Yarosh are not on the same page, Kiev just killed one Right Sector member in a month ago, Sashko Bilyi.
Ossetia, because Russia’s a great liberator, save them from Georgia.
As for the Chechens, these aren’t the Chechens that fought Russia for a decade. Russia cannot defeat them, so it found a puppet Chechen, Ramzan Kadyrov. It’s paying him boatload of money to pacify the region. He’s also been telling that if Putin was to send him into Ukraine, he would set the country in “order”
Actually, there were also reports of Serbian mercenaries in Crimea.
