Dayuhan---outwardly losing but notice this article link---this is the third reporting of tactical armored units---that means fast moving Russian armor units being bought up close to the Ukrainian border.

Putin still really "wants" to place the Donetsk under the control of "peace keepers" to separate the ethnic Russians from alleged brutality by the Ukrainian Army against civilians---on top of the Russian DUMA releasing a White Paper on Ukrainian human rights violations.

Tactically did you notice the pullback of all Russian irregulars into the Donetsk area ---just in time to be "protected" by Russian "peacekeepers".

Now notice just how quiet it is with NATO on these movements as well as the EU and the US. There is some reporting out there of roughly 20K Russian troops now again close to the Ukrainian border just opposite of Donetsk.

By the way the 15th is a key Brigade as it doubles as trainer/observers when rating Russian exercises and is also their "peacekeeping BDE".

When they move sit up and take notice is all I can recommend---but no one is.

Putin is not finished---the question will be can his economy withstand another round of sanctions as it is now failing badly before he get his troops into Donetsk?
