    There is one UK journalist working for Russia Today and RF armed forces channel Zvezda in Ukraine.

    http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graha...ps_(journalist)

    He managed to show to the whole world that first day after the beginning of ceasefire near Debaltsevo Russian made and only Russia owned tank model T-72Б3 is in action. Even very close blogger to Uralvagonzavod tank manufacturer holds his head with two hands.

    Here is the reality on the ground that now in fact Minsk 1 and 2 are utter failures--why western leaders keep stating diplomacy has to work in the face of solid violence is beyond me these days.

    What is totally interesting is the true lack of anything resembling the US involvement at all in the Ukraine and a true lack of a US Russian strategy which they claimed to have one in their recent NSS.
    EXACTLY LIKE #MINSK_1
    Russians chose WHERE and HOW to strike!!

    Here we go again with Russian games and the West never seems to learn especially the French/Germans with the US not seen anywhere close to Minsk these days. Notice the Ukrainians are firing in declared self defense which is allowed and the mercenaries have never actually stopped firing and or attacking along the Minks demarcation lines.

    This will totally end the Russian fighting in the Ukraine but the entire West is running away from the decision to disconnect Russia from SWIFT.

    Russian FM "altered state of reality"---the Russian mercenary leader of the DNR stated today and yesterday there is no ceasefire, he just keeps on shelling and attacking---no Russian heavy equipment has been pulled back which is also part and parcel of Minsk 1 and 2 and no heavy artillery has started to be pulled back, and yet this statement from the FM today--they seem to be on another planet.

    Now it seems the Russian mercenaries are attacked by the “altered state of reality”—all Minsk gave them was a “special status” to be defined by Kyiv “after” “special local elections" held under Ukrainian electoral laws. Anything else is a violation by themselves of the Minsk Agreements.

    kaur--this is how this particular UK journalist works the Russian disinformation and how naοve he really is.

    He did not fully realize that exact type of 72 model he was sitting on when the photos were made and now he is attempting to side track the conversation while the blogger world has fully ID'd the tank model.
