The Ukrainian army is now one of the most battle hardened in the world. Russia cannot expect a walk in the park.
Time to remind all what is up for grabs in Ukraine for Russia. Putin has already stole coal, factories dissembled/shipped out and UA kids.

Russia is establishing posts along its border with Belarus for the first time which was effectively unguarded from 95 as Belarus opens visa free travel to 80 countries...

.@CNN distorts info on #Ukraine, saying 3 year-long Russia-led war against this country is "a Trump effect"

Russian military annexation of Crimea and their invasion of eastern Ukraine had absolutely nothing to o with Trump as that was long before him....

Right now yes....Russians are using the typical WW2 artillery tactic for a breakthrough of pounding fixed positions into dust.and then attacking over the destroyed defense point....looking for a breakthrough point for their armor but are cautious due an strong ATM presence....
UAF has negated that by thinning out those in the bunkered front line...just enough to hold at first a ground attack and now has placed mobile mech infantry units (BNs) in a staggered formation behind the artillery ranges as a QRF with punch...if a breakthrough is achieved....
http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/31/europe...ing/index.html(CNN)Fighting in eastern Ukraine between pro-Russian rebels and Ukrainian armed forces is escalating, officials have warned.
A higher number of ceasefire violations were reported between Sunday and Monday evenings, compared with the previous 24 hours, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine said Monday.
The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said eight Ukrainian soldiers were killed in the Donbass region in two days.
"Russian occupation forces carried out massive attacks across the contact line using all available weapons, including (artillery, mortars and tanks) -- all prohibited by the Minsk agreements -- and small arms," the ministry said. At least 26 troops were wounded.

Report: Two Additional Ukrainian Soldiers Defending Their Homeland Killed By Russian Forces
http://www.rferl.org/a/28274798.html
Two Ukrainian troops died in combat yesterday, 14 wounded. One civilian died and six injured.
Today, @realDonaldTrump is Tweeting up a storm, but guess what?
Still, not one word about Russia's offensive in Ukraine coming out of the Trump/Bannon/Flyn NSC...just how strange is that....
War is ongoing in Central Europe LED by Russian active duty Commanders and using Russian paid/equipped/trained mercenaries.....
AND all he is worried about is Iran firing a missile that was within UNSC limits and Berkeley demonstrations against him....
MUST be Trump/Bannon/Flynn tacit approval for Putin.

Endless rumble in northern #Donetsk. Outgoing and incoming fire in #Makeevka all day.
4hrs ago, from #Kurakhino: "#Marinka is being shelled. Houses are burning" #Ukraine

Avdiivka update: Humanitarian situ bad, but stable. But fighting hot & heavy. Grad systems, tanks, howitzers - the disco - in full effect.

Intense battle for the last 10 minutes. #Donetsk
16:12 #Donetsk #Kyivskyi @Urriarachentsov Active battle north of #Kyivskyi ds. It rumbles, booms and shakes. Even automatic arms are heard
LISTEN TO THIS: Five minutes of non stop war sounds in #Donetsk just minutes ago!

Ukraine troops got these mysterious texts today: "You're nothing but meat to your commanders!" "Your body will be found when snow melts."
Battles and shelling pretty much everywheare at #Donetsk northwest-west-southwest. All types of guns, only aviation missing.
Pure madness going on in #Donetsk. Heavy impacts, endless machine gun fire

Putin's great excuse for the current Russian fighting in eastern Ukraine.......
Putin says #Ukraine escalating in order to get money, help from West and distract from domestic issues
Wonder if Trump..Bannon...Flynn support the Putin excuse....
Interesting. The thinking seems to be that the UAF may have bitten off more than it can chew, and that while it has improved significantly, particularly in terms of quantity, qualitative reforms have been difficult to enact. Certainly the UAF is now experienced in terms of trench and low-level warfare, but can it withstand another encirclement by regular Russian forces as was the case at Ilovaisk and Debaltsevo? Any sources (English please)?
What are your thoughts on my earlier comment that the UAF has been engaging in a "creeping offensive" since mid-December in order to break the stalemate?
The term creeping is somewhat out of place...yes moving forward in some of the grey zones...but if one looks at the Minsk 2 front line map...those areas are actually designated to be under UAF control but Russian mercenaries had pushed forward into those areas...just as Debaltseve is in their UAF but taken by Russian forces....
Mariinka under heavy fire:
Loud evening in #Donetsk region, lot's of artillery shelling. The only positive thing: No GRAD fire so far.
20:00 #Makiivka @VasyaMakeevskiy Artillery salvos started from #Batman area
19:54 #Marinka @hyeva_Marinka [vk] They fight. #Zavodska partly deenergized. Reports on an impact on #Voroshilova
First tanks, now URAL trucks on the move in #Makeevka in direction of #Yasynuvata

No kidding.
#Russian State News claim, an #Ukrainian Buk system shot down an @OSCE_SMM drone over occupied #Makiivka.
Beyond idiocy.

FACT CHECK:
Contrary to claims in certain media outlets, none of #OSCE SMM UAVs have been targeted recently.
Azor..confirming reports now of UAF mech infantry tank units coming into key positions....
