    hey comrade mirhond --what about that Russian General that was killed along with four other high intel officers two days ago ---AND there are what "no Russians" in the Ukraine?

    NOTICED absolutely no response from either the Russian mercenaries and or the Russian government about the killed General---was he also on "vacation" or did he die of a "heart attack"?

    If on "vacation" then his family gets no "compensation" from the government--right mirhond?

    Russia states it is pulling it's troops back from the Ukrainian border to their homes bases and the West cheers---the war is over but is it really?

    It is still ongoing as hard as ever especially on the SBU/Ukrainian SF guerrilla war with the Russian SF/GRU teams.

    It seems that the Russian mercenary who is the DPR PM still has not read Minsk 1 and 2---and yes while Russia "claims" to pull back all it's troops there are still 2K inside the Ukraine.

    BREAKING: #Donetsk PM says DPR not ready to pull back heavy weaponry from line of contact because regime of silence was not observed.
    He went on to state that he is not going to honor the agreements as long as the Ukrainian Army is in the Donbas.

    It seems that the Russian mercenaries and Russia wants the Ukraine to fully abide by the Minsk 1 and 2 BUT then they only selectively implement one or two things as state "see we are fulfilling the agreements".

    BUT then Moscow states the following:

    From Interfax today:

    13:30 At ASEM summit Putin will inform EU leaders of Russia's efforts to resolve Ukraine crisis - Lavrov (Part 2)

    STILL not sure exactly what Russia has done to resolve the crisis ---the ceasefire has been violated over 1500 times since 5 Sept, no Russian troops have been pulled out of the Ukraine--actually more are coming back into the Ukraine at this moment, there have been no mercenaries leaving the Ukraine and weapons/fighters/ammunition is still flowing into the Ukraine from Russia.

    SO what has Russia really done?

    This is coming from the man who stated publicly Russia was not in violation of the Budapest Memorandum, who stated he was not sending Russian troops into the Ukraine and openly stated that territory inside the Ukraine was "New Russia" and who annexed the Crimea.

    This is the same person who declared the Putin Doctrine meaning he can "defend" Russian speakers around the world, and changed the territorial borders of a European country for the first time since 1945.

    AND yet he talks about international law as if he is an expert and follows to the letter all agreements Russia has ever signed.

    This is another perfect example of Putin's "altered state of reality".

    Today from RIA:

    MOSCOW, October 14 (RIA Novosti) – The events in Ukraine showed that the international law is in deep crisis as many international human rights organizations turn a blind eye to crimes against civilians in Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Tuesday.

    “They [the events in Ukraine] have demonstrated a large-scale crisis of the international law, basic norms of the Universal declaration in human rights and the convention to prevent genocide,” Putin said at a meeting of the Kremlin human rights council.

    “We witnessed double standards in attitudes toward crimes against civilians in southeastern Ukraine, the violation of fundamental human rights – the right to live and the right for personal security. People there are subject to torture, cruel and humiliating treatment, discrimination and extrajudicial measures,” the president said.

    “Unfortunately, many international organizations simply turn a blind eye to these facts,” he continued.

    Today Germany's Merkel was openly quoted as being not so convinced of the Russian pull back by Putin ---maybe it is the still 2K Russian troops in the eastern Ukraine that are being reinforced just as Putin says he is leaving that is bothering her.

    OR maybe it is the ceasefire that is no ceasefire---OR maybe she was lied to too many times in the past six months by Putin himself.

    kaur---something for you to check on--it was released yesterday on the net claiming to be a arty strike on the Donetsk airport BUT.....

    Open invite to anyone who enjoys a good hunt using open source materials;

    Has anyone ever seen this type of artillery strikes or MRLS being used before and does anyone have any idea what it is?

    The round/rockets seem to drift in groups of 4-5 arching in slowly then flare at about 200 or so meters in the air before they hit the ground.

    The rounds appear to go in slow motion---nothing I have seen before matches this behavior by the rounds.

    Video with strange artillery does not seem to be in Donetsk. Impossible to geolocate so far.

    Looks like the Russian mercenaries are now fighting among themselves.

    Pride of Don Cossacks' is now deeply offended. They want to establish a third republic apart fr DPR. Smth like Horlivka-Yenakiyeve-Makiiyvka

    BREAKING Recently to #Horlivka #Russian Don Cossacks arrived. Skirmish began btwn them, local criminals & #Donetsk Russian terrorists

    This is the fourth reporting just in the last week of infighting among the Russian mercenary groups and there was one report of them even fighting with their "Russian military partners" because they did not do what the Russian troops wanted them to do.

    When the Genie (fascsm) is out of the bottle it is really hard to get him back in.

    Somehow I am not sure just where the Russian mindset is the last week or so with their press releases---it is almost like they are seriously attempting to reach a super heightened "altered state of reality" and this is a perfect example of that.

    Still trying to figure out just how the Russians expect the Ukrainians to accept them as the "guarantor of anything" since the Russians refused to honor the Budapest Memorandum and refused to accept the new President and have refused to accept the coming elections as being "legal" since the old President was thrown pot by an alleged" coup. AND have failed to implement the Minsk 1and 2---the Russians talk a lot about their efforts BUT there is nothing to show for it on the battlefield. They cannot even get the DPR to stop shelling the Donetsk airport SO how will being a "guarantor" solve that problem?

    BY the way--being a "guarantor" gives the Russian continuous right to interfere on a daily basis in the Donbas and the Ukrainians cannot say a word--that is where Russia is headed with this proposal---gives Russia de factor control over "New Russia".

    MOSCOW, October 15 (RIA Novosti) - Russia may act as a guarantor of a truce between Kiev and the southeast of Ukraine, Russian presidential administration chief Sergei Ivanov said Wednesday.

    "If the final agreements are reached, Russia may in some form act as a guarantor. Such a practice exists in international relations," Ivanov said in an interview with the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper.

    The head of the presidential administration did not exclude the possibility that the hostilities in Ukraine may resume, but said he hoped for the "common sense of the Kiev leadership."

    According to Ivanov, as of today, Russia supports the conflict's prompt resolution based on Russian President Vladimir Putin's peace plan, which "made it possible to stop an open confrontation."

    The military operation to suppress independence supporters in eastern Ukraine was initiated by Kiev in mid-April. With the mediation of Russia and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, Ukrainian authorities and representatives of the country's east agreed to a ceasefire on September 5.

    The ceasefire agreements are partially based on Putin's peace plan announced in early September. The seven-point plan to stabilize the situation in eastern Ukraine includes ceasing military advances, the withdrawal of armed forces, a prisoner exchange, provision of humanitarian aid and international monitoring.

    NOTE: almost none of these points have been fulfilled;

    1. the DPR is still refusing to exchange over 1000 military and civilian prisoners
    2. there has been no withdrawal of armed forces ie mercenaries AT ALL nor Russian troops as well
    3. there has been not stopping the mercenaries and Russian troops as they slowly have expanded the territory under their control since 5 Sept.

    SO why would the Ukraine "accept" Russia as a "guarantor" of anything when the below is happening every single day since 5 Sept.

    European bloggers are tending to beat the western media on reporting key events in the eastern Ukraine by up to three days before the western media even thinks about reporting it.

    This story was carried by two key bloggers a full two days ago and virtually ignored by the west.

    There has been a very intense but largely unreported by the western media about a counter UW war against Russian FSB/GRU/SF teams carried out by Ukrainian SF/SBU units since the Russians invaded.

    This Russian General was in a recon team of four that got ambushed---the remaining two have not been identified but some are saying they were the personal protection team for the General.

    Russian spy chief killed in rebel-held Donetsk, Ukraine says, in embarrassment for Kremlin

    General Sergey Andreychenko would be highest-ranking death for Moscow
    Fighting comes amid new signs the so-called ceasefire is under deep strain

    By Will Stewart for MailOnline

    Published: 16:20 GMT, 14 October 2014 | Updated: 19:00 GMT, 14 October 2014

    Conflict: Russian secret services general Sergey Andreychenko has reportedly been killed in Ukraine

    Ukraine today claimed that a Russian secret services general was killed in fighting in rebel-held Donetsk region amid new signs the so-called ceasefire is under deep strain.

    If confirmed, he would be the highest ranking Kremlin loss in the bloody conflict and a huge embarrassment for Moscow, which claims its servicemen are not engaged in Ukraine

    'Russian general Sergey Andreychenko is among those killed,' said the National Defence Headquarters in Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region.

    Several sources claimed he was a commander in the FSB, Russia's domestic secret service.

    There was no comment from Moscow on the report which claimed Ukrainian Interior Ministry troops 'eliminated' a subversive group in Telmanovo, Donetsk region.

    A Chechen fighter was also killed, it was claimed.

    Dnipro-1 battalion commander Yuriy Bereza said: 'The killing of Russian mercenaries and a general is just one of the many operations with a similar outcome.

    'There is nothing to be surprised with. The same will happen sooner or later to anyone who dares to come to our land.'

    Seven civilians died and 17 were injured when shells exploded today near a funeral procession in Mariupol.

    Vladimir Putin, who meets Ukrainian leader Petro Poroshenko on Friday, denounced the West for double standards over human rights.

    firn---a number of typical examples of events in the last 24 hours that indicate that the "frozen state" does not exist in the Donbas.

    None of this occurred after the Russians took over control of the Moldavian and Georgian enclaves.

    Russia announces pullback of troops with a big fan fare of press releases.

    Two days later Merkel announces she does not tend to believe it and then from NATO---all the announcement was just to influence the Milan meetings and nothing more than a smokescreen.

    NOW---Russia is lifting the food ban on butter and cheese from the EU---so an admission of a ban failure on their part? Kind of reminds me of the soviet purchase of 2000 tons of butter from the EU in 1972 and then proclaims a great Soviet collective farms milk production year the same year as the butter purchases.

    as usual Russia issues press releases and more threat towards the US and the fighting still goes on all the while blaming it on the Ukrainians---the usual standard "it ain't me" approach to international affairs by Russia.

    This maybe why the Russian Army lost a GRU recon team along with a General of theirs---THIS has never been reported in western media and it goes to the concept that the Russians were in fact "suckered in". It seems the Russian SF/GRU units are having a difficult time of it in the occupied areas of the Donbas.

    It appears the Ukrainians seem to be able to identify and locate those teams before they make it into Ukrainian controlled territory--someone is passing excellent info on them.

    Right now there is an estimate 4500 killed Russian troops---wounded go as well into the thousands and the MIA--absolutely no idea.

    BUT the number of captured---this is interesting.

    Security Service of #Ukraine released 16 out of 131 Russian soldiers to relatives (in fact, exchanged them for #Ukrainians) - aide Lubkivsky

    In fact the Ukrainian military has setup a hotline for Russian families to call to see if the Ukrainian military has any information on their relatives.

    Relatives of Russian servicemen call Ukrainian hotline for help
