Ukraine (closed; covers till August 2014)

Bloodshed at Ukrainian checkpoint:

Three days before Ukraine holds a presidential vote, pro-Russia insurgents attacked a military checkpoint Thursday in eastern Ukraine, killing at least 11 troops and wounding at least 33 others in the deadliest raid yet in weeks of fighting.

Three charred Ukrainian armored infantry vehicles, their turrets blown away, and several burned trucks were seen at the site in the Donetsk region. A military helicopter landed, carrying officials who inspected the area.


Residents said attackers used an armored bank truck, which the unsuspecting Ukrainian soldiers waved through, and then mowed them down at point-blank range. Their account couldn't be independently confirmed.


In the town of Horlivka, a masked rebel commander claimed responsibility for the raid and showed an array of seized Ukrainian weapons.

Kolomoiski's minions burned down the house of Rada deputy and presidency challenger Tzarev (previuosly they burned down his neighbour's house by mistake)

Kolomoiski definitely not a yapper - that's a perfect example of political struggle.

mirhond, Russian billionaire's employees and orthodox chekists are running insurgency in Eastern Ukraine. During last raid they killed almost whole platoon of brother nation soldiers. Oh, Tsareev was guy, who Russians thought would lead Novorossija. Will he?

Putin said that he is moving Russian troops away from Ukraine border. This should be sign of good will and deescalation. He should make one phone call to bring also back his irregulars from Donbass. If he says that he can't do this, there are two possibilities. First, he has lost control of his oligarhs. Second, he is not interested in deescalation. I think he has lost control and православные чекисты will rule!

Faulty logic - there is another option: Putin has no control over separatists and they are on their own during the whole mess.

mirhond---you amaze me with your comments here and at other blog sites that you are working.

You might like these photos taken off a cell phone of a dead Chechen foreign fighter who lived in Gronzy which I believe in in Russia therefore under control of the FSB so how did he get into the Ukraine and get killed at the Donetsk Airport mirhond?

Recognize the logo for the 4th Chechen FSB BN---who does it belong to and Putin has no control---come on mirhond finally your are a fascist as are the Chechens.

upd. Another hilarious Bravo Sierra about KGB agent provocateurs in Kiev

"Russian saboteurs who robbed local authority buildings in Kiev captured by SBU"
*I can't resist posting a picture directly*


So, what those notorious saboteurs had:
a 76 mm case, DShk MG magazine, 7.62x54R clip and ammo belt, two empty mortar shells, a handful of 12,7 mm rounds, several F1 grenades, Mosin rifle breechbloks and landmine case - enormous rusty arsenal, possibly survived WWII. ^_^. I believe SBU captured a deep recon group lost in time-space anomaly around 1942.

the text of article itself is either a perfect jewel of dumbness or trolling so subtle that I almost bought it.

*thanks, kaur, your compatriots who posted this are extremely professional*

mirhond, where is your source criticism? Do your homework and check the backround of that site. This is considered to be Russian propaganda site there and thay are doing exactly this as you showed. I visitid this site years ago and it seems that content is the same.

The fact is that this Sunday there must be presidential elections in Ukraine. Conflict is going on and Putin is not making things easy there. I'm 101% sure that he could it easily, but he just will not. Why should he? Russian channels have not switched of warpropaganda also. Show goes on.

Ps take a look at this picture and think about fraternal nation.

https://news.pn/en/criminal/104792

According to the results of the poll, 79 % respondents sees the Belarusians as frater, 66% the Ukrainians, 14% the Kazakhs, 8% the nations living in the territory of the Russian Federation, 7% the Armenians and Tatars.

About faulty logic. Putin can call Malofeejev and tell that tax police with FSB will start raid in his firm tomorrow. He will be sent also to court with international terrorism charges as sponsor. FBI will also informed. Putin will order FSB to start cooperation with SBU against Donbass republic. Putin will take off money from Dugin organisations. Putin will tell Russian TV stations that tomorrow morning will start black propaganda campaign against Borodai/Girkin/Malofeejev etc.
Sorry for faulty logic. Putin will not call to those people. Their puppet masters will get orders via chain of command.

1. OK, the whole site looks like BS, you are right
2. For what reason Putin would help blatantly hostile and shaking Kievan power? Because of his kind heart and righteousness?
3. Well, you aren't lost to rational thinking if you can see your own fallacies and biases.

What's Putin Up to Now? Four Possible Explanations
By Carol Matlack May 23, 2014

1. He’s bluffing to buy time.

2. Sanctions are biting Russia harder than expected.

3. Putin has realized that his Ukraine strategy hasn’t worked and that he needs to regroup

4. Putin believes his Ukraine strategy is working so well that there’s no need to stir the pot further.
