People roll their eyes when they see the name "Hitler". I get it. Even when Putin annexed Crimea eyes rolled. https://www.facebook.com/GKKasparov/...54416954713307 …

If we cannot learn from the most horrific moments in our history, what is the point of learning history?

The first 18 days of #July2016 have been the bloodiest for Ukrainian troops fighting the Russian invaders since August 2015.

Shelling across frontline in eastern #Ukraine last night. NSDC said it will impose martial law if shelling continues.

Ukraine is losing its patience with the (pro-)#Russians.

THAT is why Kerry and Nuland are failing to get any agreement..and attempting to force Ukraine to concede to Russia on anything at this moment will never happen as the price of Ukrainian blood is driving this now..not the US...

Russian tanks at Kamensk-Shakhtinsky train station indicating fresh supplies going to Ukraine:
https://informnapalm.org/en/russian-...k-shakhtinsky/ …

Volunteers of the InformNapalm international community recorded a new Russian military activity at the Ukrainian-Russian border. The transfer of Russian heavy weapons was detected at Kamenskaya train station (Kamensk-Shakhtinsky).

The image documents main battle tanks: №1, 2, 4 – T-72B; №3, 5 – T-72B models of 1989 or 1999 and railway freight wagons, usually used to carry the ammunition.

This town is located less than 30km from the border checkpoint Izvarine where active transfers of Russian heavy weapons to Donbas had been noticed previously. Kamensk-Shakhtinsky was used as a transit point before sending the equipment to Ukraine.

There are more than 1000 artillery systems of diff. types, tube artillery, rocket artillery & mortars, not to mention other weapons currently in the hands of Russian troops and her mercenaries inside eastern Ukraine....

Russian western mil dist tank and mech infantry snap combat exercises to last till end of the week.

Numbers not announced. Currently looks big

Russia n western mil dist tank and mech infantry in Leningrad, Moscow, Kaliningrad and Bryansk regions alerted https://twitter.com/RUSexercises/sta...30259849441281 …

Not announced as usual to OSCE....

Could be 1) because of the renewed heavy fighting in eastern Ukraine as pressure on Ukraine ahead of the Normandy Four meeting and or 2) due to the NATO Black Sea naval exercises that are ongoing with even live fire exercises....

Russia n army trains media reps to work in conflict zones by.. embedding them to combat exercises (see pics!) http://function.mil.ru/news_page/cou...2090040@egNews …

Interesting has Russia has a large number of troops stationed there and Ukraine has cut the land resupply routes for Russia to Transnistria....everything has to be flown in....

Some have said Russia wants a land corridor linking Crimea to Odessa and on to Transnistria....

'Primaries' in #Russia-held #Donbas? Sounds cool, legit, Western!
WRONG...in full violation of the Minsk 2 Agreement and Russia knows this.....it would in theory seal the sanctions against Russia literally for forever.....
