The military leader of pro-Russian rebels in the eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk, Igor Girkin - known as Strelkov - has resigned.
Alexander Borodai, the former PM of the self-declared Donetsk People's Republic, confirmed the news but denied reports Mr Strelkov had been wounded.

Sop trolling....

At the Russian aid convoy, now parked off the main highway, I asked to look in a lorry: no secret weapons stash...just sleeping bags
Yea, the only Ukrainian people getting killed and attacked are those in the East... so of course prayers for them.
By cleansing the East of the Russian population pretty much I don’t think they’ll be an attempt to divide the country....the shelling as done the elimination which Kiev sought. The entire region will be built up and too expensive for the former residencts to return.
The unrest is growing, and it isn’t even cold, yet.
Reports that 1,500 troops have been sent to far western Ukraine to insure against Hungarian unrest
There have been sporadic attacks around Karkhov, the mayor has been arrested by the regime, only 20% showed up for the latest conscription levy, etc.
Reports of troop buildups along both the Moldavian and Ukrainian Transnistria borders.
The news of HEAVY UK losses in the field is now filtering back to the Ukrainian hometowns, despite the harsh media blackout.
As I have said, Kiev is running out of time, and the next Maidan will most likely be bringing guns.
Well I haven't been keeping up with Ukraine over the last couple days....so I've missed the latest....But am not surprised conflicts are developing and that this will not be over as soon as others think...after all it's Ukraine....and it doesn't take to being tamed!
I agree with you. It’s so odd the way people immediately choose sides in a conflict with the simplistic “bad guy vs good guy” meme. In some cases, there are no good guys. And in all cases of war, the first casualty is the truth. All sides propagandize to influence world opinion.
I do know that the Ukrainian government is blasting civilians without mercy. The people in eastern Ukraine voted to side with Russia. Since the west (always pretending to worship democracy) didn’t like the results, they claimed it was illegitimate. People don’t care about the truth. They have their minds made up and refuse to believe anything that doesn’t fit their view.
Another Russian rat flees with loot and blood on his hands, that should be hanging from a tree.
Facts are offensive to Russians. The blood and loot and land of Russians neighbors is what is important.
As I said, everyone has made up their mind about what really happened. What is your source and can it possibly be unbiased? The Ukrainian government is hardly trustworthy.
Seriously, this ain't propaganda . . . the problem might be on your end.
Which presiential election? The first one that was negated by mass protests in the streets? Or another one?
You honestly believe the Ukrainain government is white as the driven snow? Do you know the Germans and Russians were trying to negotiate a resolution to this conflict, but the Ukrainian government kept on pounding the east?
Oh, right, only one side uses propaganda and we can’t believe anything but what the Ukrainian government and our own “honest” government says. Got it.

So RolandOliphant and I just saw a column of APCs and vehicles with official Russian military plates cross border into Ukraine.
Note the “With Official Russian Plates”...
IMUO, the first recon detachment just went across. Reporters are noting several other Russian vehicles moving up to the border, but not in “Invasion force” size.
RAW: Fierce tank battle rages near Ukraine-Russia border crossing

More video from the battle for the Marinovka Border point this morning.
Priceless!
Gee after Edward Snowden’s leaking classified info to a UK Guardian reporter before fleeing to Russia, why would anybody associate the Guardian with Russian spies?
