I thought Belarus was opposed to Russia on this. Lukashenko is afraid he might be next, or has Putin made him an offer he couldn’t refuse?

Ukraine Crisis Map.... Reports: Novoazovsk under Russian control

This with the reports of tanks in Telamnove it appears Ivan is securing the crossroads of what appears to be the main road from Donetsk towards the Black Sea closest to the Russian border. The next major crossroad in the coastal highway through Novoazovsk is Maripul. Ivan can take the roads from these town north into Donetsk.

Belarus is in full accordance with the new Soviet order, they are attached at the hip to Moscow. They can pretend to play nice but in reality they answer the call to Putin.

Mariupol is being reinforced by Ukraine. Hopefully this does not leave Donetsk unchallenged. Reports of attacks along the road to Mariupol are also on that map.

As a follow up if Ivan wants to go to Donetsk this route is faster in terms of miles needed to go than crossing the border directly east of Donetsk.

Of course at one time Lukashenko dreamed of leading the new Soviet Union, but Putin beat him to the punch.

Large Ukraine convoy with heavy equipment arrives at Mariupol. Hopefully they will be able to keep the city from falling.

I’d love to see the Uki’s kick their ass. I doubt there’s any chance of that. 100 tanks. Pupin is a real prince of a fellow.

E.U.?
U.S.?

Crickets!

Belarus is just cutting a better deal with Putin, maybe this is all part of the new Peace Plan. Bow to Rusian Demands and there will be peace. Maybe Ukraine can get some cheap gas out of Russia for a Deal—Land for Peace. It worked well for Israel after all?

Hopefully someone would raise eyebrows if they started bringing tanks and anti-aircraft missiles with them.

But let’s not forget that Sarah Palin predicted this back in 2008, and of course *SHE* is the stupid one.
