I think it was after Brennan went there that it was clear the Ukraine Army couldn’t communicate with their equipment....and Anti-Kiev forces could easily pick up their communication...heck they were posting it on twitter!

They really aren’t well trained, even the head guy said the Military wasn’t even close to being battle ready. 20% I believe he had mentioned. So all this heavy fighting going on is coming from “other” sources.

There’s not only Americans there, but Italians and others now. Ukraine can’t fight their own battle by any means without outside military and this has been well known and understood from the get go.

Condescension aside, This Forbes article establishes the case extremely well.

Putin is responsible for putting infiltrating Ukraine government over years & “feet on the ground” recently.
You may fine the ‘taped’ phone messages interesting. Especially, this point extremely illuminating: “In their calls, Lukin refers to “verification from the highest levels.” As the President’s special envoy, I imagine this refers to Putin himself. It also appears that Girkin/Strelkov has to make calls to clear new “things” with higher-ups, such as admitting Council of Europe members along with Lukin.”

So, Putin is indited both and then some...

“. I don’t see any reason they wouldn’t support national socialists doing the EUs bidding in Kiev.”

Maybe you should step back from the Russian propaganda and realize that even Jews support Maidan.
