Questions concerning shelling reports as they seem to be coming from only Russian source not Ukrainians sources as has been the routine.
Strange: those shelling reports only in http://vk.com groups, nothing in fb or twitter.

Right now Putin and his FM are truly in the realm of irrationality and we are about 20 seconds from 1914 if this pace keeps up and the West is doing exactly what again—silence.
So for the want of silence--- “a limited war” will be breaking out in Central Europe” that has the potential of becoming WW3.
Currently the shelling attacks have been simply put--intense, massive, constant and all along the Minsk 2 contact line for about the last 20 hours.
Seems all Ukrainian towns, villages and cities are being hit with literally everything from AGLs to tanks to heavy artillery and MRLSs and with no regard for civilian loses. Civilian loses are mounting and destruction to civilian housing is now starting from the indiscriminate Russian shellings.
Simply to many reports flowing to post them all.
Ukrainian Army is now in a high state of alert and anticipating a full scale assault along the entire eastern front.
This is from a Ukrainian blogger who has been basically correct for the last year on a number of reports out of the Ukrainian Army as the blogger is tied into the Ukrainian Army training programs and has deep ties into the various UA brigades on the forward front lines and who has lost close friends at the hands of Spetsnaz.Originally Posted by OUTLAW 09

"Lentsov" is the Russian senior General assigned to the JCCC in the Ukraine who is also the current Russian Commander of the CSTO Fast Reaction Forces and CSTO Peacekeeping Forces.
No emotion from this blogger for over a year and then this 20 minutes ago after getting several field reports from UA Brigades involved in the fighting and it has been silent from him since the tweet went out.

Can Anyone Stop Putin’s New Blitz?
A shaky cease-fire in Ukraine was shattered Wednesday morning with a new offensive by Russian-backed troops. How will the White House respond?
It looks like Vladimir Putin will spend his second summer in a row going to war.
So now the question becomes: What—if anything—will the United States and Europe do in response?
On Wednesday, Ukrainians awoke to the all-too-predictable news that Moscow-backed separatists—a contingent that consists of quite a lot of Moscow-dispatched Russian soldiers—launched a fresh, multi-pronged assault on Ukrainian-held territory. The primary targets lie west of a line of the demarcation meant to keep a cease-fire that was over before the ink had dried on the so-called “Minsk II” accords.
“Although we’re still assessing details, this is clearly a major, multi-front escalation that reflects continued non-compliance with Minsk by the combined Russian-separatist forces,” a senior Western diplomat told The Daily Beast. When asked if this was the start of a big Russian push for more terrain in the Donbas—the name for the regions encompassing Donetsk and Lugansk—one European leader replied: “Sure looks like it.”
So here’s what we know. The two main towns hit today were Marinka and Krasnogorovka, both not far from the major industrial city of Donetsk. The nearest separatist lines to these targets are the Petrovsky district of the city to the east, Aleksandrovka to the south-east and Novomikhailkovka to the north-east. Video footage, purportedly shot in Petrovsky today, clearly recorded the sounds of outbound artillery fire, with the attendant description of the footage claiming that the separatists were firing from positions in the immediate vicinity of residential high-rises. (Of course, firing from civilian areas doesn’t just violate Minsk II, but the Geneva Conventions.)
Boasts by separatists that Marinka had fallen were met with immediate denials by Kiev.
While acknowledging “a massive bombardment” by separatists using heavy artillery, Ukraine’s military spokesman Andriy Lysenko said that the government was “holding off all the attacks.” His colleague, Markiyan Lubkivsky, an adviser to the head of the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU), claimed that 10 Ukrainian soldiers had been killed and over 80 wounded. Among the dead on the other side, Lubkivsky said, SBU counterintelligence established that at least four were Russian GRU Spetsnaz (Special Forces) soldiers. If true, their presence would further underscore the Kremlin-orchestrated nature of this escalation.
The “defense minister” of the separatist “Donetsk People’s Republic,” Vladimir Kononov, meanwhile, has alleged that 15 people were killed on his side, including fighters and civilians. He blamed a Ukrainian “provocation” for the uptick in violence, which is a bit strange given what the DNR media portal proclaimed.
The fighting cut off the electricity at two mines in the Donetsk region, Skochinsky and Zasyadko, leaving nearly 1,000 miners trapped underground. Separatists claimed that the ones at Skochinsky were being evacuated.
“Although we’re still assessing details, this is clearly a major, multi-front escalation … by the combined Russian-separatist forces.”
The play for Marinka and Krasnogorovka was also accompanied by heavy shelling, possibly using Grad missiles, against Ukrainian-held positions north of Donetsk such as the towns of Peski and Avdeyevka. And to the south, separatists also targeted Ukrainian locations at Beryozovoye, which lies in Kiev-held stretch of a strategically vital road system, the Donetsk-Mariupol highway. To the south of that, below separatist-held territory, there were further sorties on positions in Burgas, previously the site of heavy civilian casualties due Grad attacks.
Novosti Donbassa, a regional news website, reported today that Ukrainian troops had conducted an organized withdrawal from their foremost checkpoint on the stretch of highway that passes directly south of Marinka as this was too exposed to attack. As my colleague James Miller explains, the separatists have for weeks been testing Ukraine’s defenses along the demarcation line in a fairly evenly spaced offensives that amount to pincer moves designed to trap Kiev between two fronts, a “strategy that has proven to be highly effective in the conflict, most notably at Ilovaisk and Debaltsevo,“ two of the hottest war-zones of the conflict.
Here’s why all of this matters. Should Marinka fall and the Russians succeed in pushing the Ukrainians back from the northern stretch of the Donetsk-Mariupol highway, they’d likely next make a push for Volnovakha, a town that Kiev’s army needs to keep if it wants to maintain control of Mariupol, the crucial port-city on the Sea of Azov. Putin would need Mariupol if he did indeed want to erect a “land-bridge” from mainland Russia to occupied Crimea.
This wouldn’t be at all easy to do, however. As several analysts have noted, taking Mariupol would require some 100,000 conventional Russian troops. That would be a major departure from Putin’s game plan so far: maskirovka warfare whereby Russia’s deploys insignia-less paratroops and Special Forces and dispatches advanced artillery and antiaircraft systems into Ukraine, while strenuously denying at home and abroad that it has done any such thing.
So far, Putin’s efforts at chivvying or shutting up of the grieving mothers, sisters and wives of “Cargo 200”—the Russian codename for soldiers killed in combat—have helped keep his populace from an open rebellion against an undeclared dirty war next-door. All that would change if Operation Land-Bridge got underway.
But even if Mariupol isn’t the next target, isolating and threatening it could keep Ukrainian forces bogged down enough to allow the easier taking of towns and villages in the north and west, such as Slavyansk and Kramatorsk, which were recaptured by the Ukrainian military before the Russian invasion last August.
There are large reserves of forces in the separatist-held hinterland south-east of Donetsk. On April 27, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) reported spotting 11 tanks and 4 armored personnel carriers “50 [kilometers] north of Shirokino,” a town just north of Mariupol. On May 29, the OSCE said that its monitors met had encountered two women in Russian military uniforms as well as a vehicle with Russian license plates carrying armed men in the village of Petrovskoye, in this same area, east of Volnovakha. Hardly a day goes by that the OSCE doesn’t document separatist artillery, Grads, or multiple rocket-launchers gone “missing” from where they’re supposed to be parked for inspection.
At the moment, all the Pentagon will say officially is that “we’ve certainly seen the reports of increased violence. The OSCE Special Monitoring Mission has reported continued ceasefire violations by Russian-separatist forces,” Defense Department spokesperson Eileen Lainez told The Daily Beast.
But it doesn’t bode well that Valentina Matvienko, the speaker of Russia’s Federation Council (the nation’s mostly symbolic senate), told Interfax on Wednesday that the body may meet in emergency session and asked its deputies “not to go far away.” The Council later claimed the Interfax report was fake, but not before observers recalled that the last time this assembly convened hastily, it was to retroactively rubber-stamp Putin’s invasion of Crimea, an invasion he at first disclaimed. Putin also later copped to having made plans for seizing the peninsula long before the Euromaidan protests erupted in Kiev over a year ago, culminating in the nighttime skedaddling of pro-Putin Ukrainian President Victor Yanukovych from the country.
In spite of its uninterrupted record of audacious bull####ting, the Kremlin has nevertheless enjoyed the spectacle of seeing any number of Western “experts” on Russia take its reassurances that Minsk II is still on at face value. “Novorossiya”—the name given to the dream of erecting a blood-and-soil ethnic Russian empire, of which annexing the Donbas and Crimea are said to be integral—has been obituarized repeatedly over the past several weeks; never mind that the separatists still brandish its pennant with pride gibber openly about gobbling up more of Ukraine.
In fact, as Mashable’s Christopher Miller discovered today in Moscow, the former separatist commander Igor Girkin (a.k.a. Strelkov), himself a Russian intelligence operative, has proclaimed Novorossiya alive and well. Told that Marinka may have fallen to his comrades in Ukraine, Girkin replied: “Good.”
No war is complete without its psychological dimension. Here, too, we’re given contradictory telegraphs of Moscow’s real intentions. In forum on the Russian social media site VKontakte evocatively titled Svodki Novorossii—“Novorossiya Dispatches”—Strelkov claimed that Vladislav Surkov, Putin’s “grey cardinal” and a man sanctioned by the U.S. and E.U. for his role in fomenting the Ukraine crisis, recently met with DNR leadership. Surkov apparently “yelled a lot and was vile.” The reason? He supposedly wanted the DNR to put a cork in it and give up on Novorossiya.
This could easily be a carefully placed piece of disinformation designed to create the impression that the Kremlin didn’t authorize this latest offensive, the better to plead innocent in the inevitable diplomatic set-to with the West. It wouldn’t be the first time Putin has intimated that the proxies he says he doesn’t control have suddenly gone rogue on him. (Strelkov elsewhere admits that only an “idiot” would believe that the separatists operate without a little help from their friends in Moscow.)

Russian lawmaker convinced West started new propaganda campaign against Russia

MOSCOW, June 5. /TASS/. The chairman of the State Duma, the lower house of Russia’s parliament, Sergey Naryshkin said he is convinced the West has started a new propaganda campaign against Russia.
"Everything is piled: regular lies about the alleged Russian trace in the crash of the Malaysian Boeing, about the [alleged] dispatch of our troops to Ukraine’s southeast, our ‘ardent’ desire to confront Europe, etc.," Naryshkin wrote in an article in the Izvestia daily.
"The fact that the current campaign to defame Russia, timed to the June summit of the EU, where the issue of sanctions could be raised again, is made in USA again and is coordinated from there, is absolutely clear," he wrote.
Note:
Other recent Russian TASS articles that support the Russian propaganda 4Ds—dismiss, distort, distract, dismay designed to create 2Ds—distrust and doubt.
