Kiev has some stones launching this offensive, Ivan is going to counter attack and this time they will have their real uniforms on.
The only question is where they stop, because if they get pissed enough they will take everything east of the river at a minimum.
Tweet from an unknown source:
fighting just stopped because fighers took down 2 choppers and military cant work out how to proceed without
That's stupid. Who would Ukraine declare war on? Russia? They're on their own territory, and the self-proclaimed "People's Republic of Donetsk" isn't a country.
Take a look at the weapons. Ukrainian citizens don’t have that lying around. That stuff wasn’t seen during the Maiden demonstrations either.
Russian Military Urgently Assembles Medical Brigades....this isn’t a good sign!!
I’ll say it again...
I am just amazed that we have the technology to watch events unfold in real-time, from the far-side of the planet, from our own desks.
Welcome to the digital age. Nothing happens in the dark, anymore.
Mykolaiv isn’t anywhere near Slovyansk. It’s almost due north of Odessa. What’s the deal with the photo.
They’ve been taking them when they’ve disarmed the police at all the gov. buildings...further they will be provided to defend themselves by the Oligarchs assisting them
FYI, the locals want the separatists and Russian goons off Ukrainian territory. This has been proven in poll after poll since February, and even recently. Pro-Russian rallies consist of a few hundred communists and old geezers and other freaks at a time, while the 5000-10,000 strong Pro-Ukrainian rallies embarrass the Russians so bad they have to send in the goons to beat and disperse them.
You Putinists seriously need to shut up about "Nazis". We're talking about an astro-turf army of drunks and long-term Russian agents led by Russian GRU who are attempting to conquer territory against the will of the people. And guess what? The freakin Russkies have Neo-Fascists and hardcore communists on State Run television promoting racial theories about the Russian people being the true heirs of the Aryan tribe. The jokes on you!
Slovyansk is sitting on the largest store of cold war-era infantry weapons in the old Soviet Union, stored underground.
Yesterday, there was a pic of one of the RPG’s being carried by a separatist. Built in 1992.
What? clarify
Are you saying the oligarchs are supplying the latest Russian weaponry to the provocateurs? What’s the deal with the photo?
You are so right....even so in some respects I wish we couldn’t until the battles are over...there will be blood in this.
By the way...Helicopter pilot was taken into custody.
“The polls already show that the majority of Ukrainians don’t want anything to do with the Russians”
A poll? You have to be kidding. In the last 3 elections, That Oblast has gone far over 90% for Yanukovych’s party. And in what world do you believe a poll, in a city under some form of revolt, with internet mostly down, where everyone is armed except for the person being polled?
You really think that is where people will tell a stranger on the phone what they really think?
Or is this a poll of people walking out in public?
Think about it before you invoke some poll. It looks utterly retarded.
Like ALL political polls, this was designed to accomplish a purpose, not to measure what anyone thinks. Please.
That taken in NYC or San Francisco?
Moscow, Yesterday.
Look at that mouth full of teeth! I wonder if she has a boat with a motor.
