Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko was cutting short a foreign trip on Wednesday after Kiev accused Russian regular forces of attacking its troops in the country's east.
The accusation against Moscow on Tuesday was one of the boldest assertions yet by Ukraine of direct Russian military involvement since the conflict between pro-Russian separatists and government forces began more than nine months ago.
"In spite of preliminary agreements, Ukrainian military units were attacked in the north of the anti-terrorist operational zone by regular military formations of the armed forces of Russia," the spokesman, Andriy Lysenko, said.
Roman Turovets, a spokesman for the military operation in the east, said by telephone: "Ukrainian troops have stopped the advance of the enemy (and) are regrouping to push the enemy back."
Tuesday's clashes broke out at two checkpoints near the town of Slovyanoserbsk, northwest of the city of Luhansk.

Not troops, but tourists. On holiday.
lol
OF COURSE THEY DID...
Can’t tell the cannon fodder that they got defeated by Ukrainian rebels, yet again, can they?
Right. You’re always here for the Putinista apologia, like the Left Wing commies from the Cold War days.
You probably still think there were no regular Russian troops, little green men, who entered Crimea prior to the Anschluss you approved of.
It’s long past time for the US to snuff the Iranian mullahcracy, and Putin’s telegraphing the way. Failure to do so will result in his further escalation.
During the Cuban Missile Crisis, the US troops in west Berlin expected to be under overwhelming attack at any moment in response to the US quarantine. Thanks elhombrelibre.
Strategist Putin Strikes An Ominous Deal With Iran

You bet.
Russian TV itself accidentally showed a Russian Marine attacking Ukrainian Donetsk airport already in the 15th. Hard for Russians to call it a fake or enemy propaganda when their biggest state channel itself shows it.
I’d say that someone is going to lose his job at that station.
those are not Russian troops, thenRussians are a hoot (and I include their sycophants).
you cannot prove those are Russian troops, and then
everyone knew those were Russian troops, anyway.
Oh, dear. Do you think someone else might’ve posted it? In order to keep an open mind, and “listen to all sides?”
He's inside your head.

“prior to the Anschluss you approved of.”
I love how you UK trolls just lie, and lie, and lie. Not just here, but all over the Internet.
I have never said I approved of it, I said I UNDERSTOOD why they did it. It’s sad that you have to resort to the level of schadenfreude that you do.
Several tweets today that Dmitri Yarosh (Right Sector) was severely wounded near the Donetsk Airport this morning.
Graham Phillips is now reporting that his arm was blown off in a Grad Strike.
Take it for what it’s worth.
Now conflicting reports:
Graham Phillips
2/2 Still awaiting final confirmation on Yarosh injury, conflicting reports cite lighter injury to hand/arm, and head,Donetsk airport today.
I've never trolled for UK. I'm consistently for liberty. Just get your buddy Putin to leave those folks alone, and quit being Putin's cheerleader. Or will they quit paying you then?
Good job, clueless as ever
