Propaganda from either side is worthless.

One thing for sure - Russia has planted the seeds of hatred and war for a generation to come.

In a perverse way, events of the last year will create a truly independent Ukraine.

Couple years from now, the Russians will be whining that their neighbors “hate” them, and accuse the NATO and the EU of poking it with a stick because those neighbors want to join.

Is this the same one they claimed to have destroyed a week ago? Ukraine forces destroy most of a column of Russian military vehicles, president says

Why is it that there are never any pictures of the destroyed tanks?

Users of militarymaps.info knew the Donetsk-Mariupol route was forming, but Kiev blames "russian invasion" for its fail, yet again. Kiev will keep saying they destroyed it, even after they lose Mariupol.

If you want no spin and to listen to a guy who served in the WH from 1985-1988, listen to this guy who knows intel.

His name is Bruce Alan Johnson and he talks about ISIS and Ukraine in this interview.

Don’t miss it. Kind of blew my socks off.

Meanwhile the Russian terrorist invaders are losing Luhansk. I guess that drive on Luhansk wasn’t a diversion after all, huh?

"Meanwhile the Russian terrorist invaders are losing Luhansk" ?????? uhhh... NO. Things have been changing fast for two weeks: The only area not really supported by reports seems to be around Gorlivka, where there are conflicting reports of offensives and counter-strikes today. The map also shows that the rebel attempt to surround Donetsk Airport failed again. That may have been a feint for the southern thrust.

Meanwhile, “The Interpreter” is reporting on the panic that has started to grip Mariupol, while Lyashko tweeted a pic of a “Destroyed Russian Tank”, supposedly taken “near” Mariupol.

Semenchenko is saying from his hospital bed that it is all hysterics.

Russian forces are invading now because the rebels are losing Luhansk and Donetsk is encircled.
