kaur--even though he is a strange fellow in all of the eastern Ukraine "history" he has made some comments that have been very accurate.
Strelkov "Ukraine will be ready Next year for an open warfare against Russia" http://bit.ly/1FMARR8
To some degree he is actually correct as the Ukraine has been truly rebuilding a fighting army that indeed can fight and they fight for a flag and nation not for Putin.
Shellings and ground attacks have been heavy this afternoon at the typical hotspots.

Here's my earlier piece on @Consortiumnews' attack on @60Mins' #Mh17 report, time for an apology from Parry https://www.bellingcat.com/news/uk-a...fake-evidence/ …
During the heavy final fighting for Debaltseve after the mercenary troops could not take the town and Putin had declared it would be captured--it appears Russian Spetsnaz went into the attack as the lead Russian battle formation and took heavy loses with many of the Spetsnaz KIA being buried in the Ukraine and not sent back to Russia for burial as is normally normal but when hiding the loses the Ukraine will do.
Interesting if true:
150 Russian soldiers were taken POW in the last months but @poroshenko demanded to release them in silence http://goo.gl/fb/2ZeHHc
Might explain just how easy it was for the Ukraine to turn over the names/bios of 60 Russian Spetsnaz to the ICC for terrorist/war crimes charges.

Russia is still trying for that provocation to launch a major attack. Waiting for the Russians to blame the Ukrainians as always is the case.
Appears to have been "friendly fire"--Russian.
Russian Colonel-General Lentsov's car came under fire betw #Horlivka-#Mayorsk on May 23, at 17:40. Nobody injured.
http://informator.lg.ua/?p=93366
Come on just what is this Russian General thinking—they easily abandoned two Spetsnaz their elite in the Ukraine—just pack the 1500 up and go home and the problem is solved.
That has been what the OSCE has been telling them for years.
BREAKING: RUSSIAN GENERAL - "WE WILL NOT ALLOW THAT OUR ARMY IN TRANSNISTRIA WILL DIE OF HUNGER" http://www.mediafax.ro/externe/un-ge...oamea-14319973 …
NOTE: is this General trying to imply that the Transnistria cannot provide enough food for 1500 extra individuals--does seem far fetched as to the idea of "starving". They could start farming and raising cattle as a number of Soviet military bases did in the SU to supplement their food rations from Moscow which were always "lean".
WE WILL PROVIDE THEM SUPPORT WITH OUR MILITARY AIR FLEET"
They still have to get airspace clearance for military flights—not a solution it seems.

Amazing that the Russian mercenaries were quick to accept the statement from "Shadows" an organization many know little to nothing about-even Ukrainians.
Might just be convenient to blame the Ukrainians but "Shadows" has been actually operating in his area of awhile--so it might in fact be correct.

The Ukrainian army command needed more than one hour to answer the Russia language of violence in #Shyrokyne today.
Hence 1 KIA, 2 WIA
Russian troops must have taken off time for something to eat--shellings back on again.

What amazes me and it is becoming rather strange to watch--as the Russian shellings and ground attacks all along the Minsk 2 contact line have massively increased over the last ten days THERE is a strange air of total silence out of Obama, his DoS Kerry, the US NSC, even NATO has gone silent as well as Hollande and Merkel.
Not a single word on the intense shellings and ground attacks--not even a Russia has no intentions on ever fulfilling and implementing Minsk 2 OR better yet the ceasefire has failed and we need new sanctions--nothing --total silence.
Ukraine manpower loses in killed and wounded are mounting fast.

Russian loses are far higher than they really want to admit —if the video is correct as it appears 5-6 are being buried just in this video and the line of new graves counts over another 5-6--all new.
