Several Russian Nationalists answered the call to come to Ukraine after the leaders threatened to wipe out the Russians in Ukraine. And they still are.

While Kiev talks a fine line, the “Ethnic Cleansing” being done by the militias and Right Sector cannot be denied. Ethnic Russians ARE being targeted by these groups, and sometimes murdered.

Again, NONE of this would be happening had not the Western Radicals violently overthrown the elected government, and a Ukrainian Flag would still be flying over Crimea.

I questioned, not “questioned”. You lack any basis to judge my motivation. Girkin is killing Ukrainians being sided with other Ukrainians, so it’s a civil war according to the definition.

Don’t bother with your fairy tales. RF troops don’t go AWOL with their gear and invade other countries.

Involvement of foreign nationals and a foreign government is the very definition of transnational warfare and is not a civil war. Nobody died in Donbas until Russians arrived and started killing. No one.

Well, there have been multiple clips on You-Tube of T-64s captured from Kiev forces so whether or not some have come in from outside is still an open question as far as I'm concerned. As for people coming from Russia to help people in Ukraine, so many people in Russia are close relatives of folks in Ukraine it's not surprising at all nor does that "prove" the Russian government is aiding them.

Stuff the US sent to other countries is showing up in Southeast Ukraine according to what I've heard so that would almost have to be coming from sales to the people in the Southeast. Otherwise it would mean the US is playing both sides against the middle which isn't very reasonable even as a lame conspiracy theory. I would think that with all the government buildings they've captured people resisting Kiev probably have plenty of cash to pay anyone who will accept Ukraine currency.

The rumor mill in Ukraine seems to be everyone's hobby. Friends of mine call over there a couple of times a week and could stay on the phone for hours just listing the rumors that are flying around in Western Ukraine.

Eastern Ukraine, particularly the Southeast, is probably worse. I suspect a lot of the reports of "the Russians are coming" originate with people in the Southeast just like rumors of the 82nd Airborne being on the way were rampant in 1956 during the Hungarian revolt. They're basically wishful thinking on someones part.

Ok, the US started a transnational war since CIA people were there when the US recognized the Coup Kiddies.

So by your own definition and statement, the US started a transnational war to aid the Kiev Coup Kiddies with their ethnic cleansing efforts.

Thanks for clearing that up.

To admit the ethnic Russian Ukrainians they are killing are actually Ukrainian citizens, means to admit that there actually IS a Civil War going on, which they can’t do, and maintain control.

A lot of the current problem stems from Kiev painting itself into a corner with their own propaganda. Anyone standing against the coup government was labeled a “Terrorist”, by people that took down their own government in a coup.

You will note how hard the Maidans on FR have tried to control the language of this event.

Local insurgents routinely use Russian flag.

Good point.

Fitting with this post, there are several twitter reports that Kolomoisky’s Militia killed some 60 civilians in Krasny Liman.

Still repeating that libel? This was a fabrication of Putin’s twitter bots. You truly have no shame.
