KIEV (Reuters) - Ukraine on Wednesday reported some of the strongest attacks by pro-Russian rebels since the signing of a peace deal in February, with eight government soldiers killed in the past 24 hours.

The Ukrainian Security Council said rebel shelling in the past day had been among the "most powerful attacks since the signing of the Minsk agreement."

This brings smiles to the FRussians who have free reign on Freerepublic to propagate Putin’s tyranny on the west.

I'm trying to follow this from an historical, factual perspective. The past few days, there have been reports that the neo-Nazis started fighting against the Kiev gov they had been fighting for in some towns near the Hungarian border. It stated they pulled their troops from Kiev's fight in the east to their own fight in the west. So the anti-Kiev rebels in the east took advantage of the situation....well, yeah.

Meanwhile, what's going to happen on that western border with Hungary and other border countries? A few months ago, there were some reports that Hungary and some others were upset that their ethnics were being drafted into Kiev's army. Could this spill over into a situation where Hungary gets involved against some group in western Ukraine, or the Nazis try to bring the fight across that border?
