Russian media report 'invasion of Ukraine'
BBC ^ | 28 August 2014 Last updated at 08:32 ET | BBC

Reports that Russian troops are intervening directly in the fighting in south-east Ukraine have started to appear in Russian media, despite repeated denials from the Kremlin.

Newspapers and websites are quoting mainly Ukrainian and Western media reports about a Russian invasion, but some have also started to ask whether Moscow is now "fighting a war".

Many Russian social media users, however, say they have no doubt that Ukraine has been "attacked".

They echo sentiments in the Ukrainian twitter-sphere where #russiainvadesukraine, #StopPutin, and #UkraineUnderAttack have become the top trending hashtags.

Well, our local members of the Borscht Brigade can drop the pretense, now. Most of them will.

This whole Russian-Ukrainian debacle has been American/Western orchestrated from the beginning.
Pooty Poot is no angel, but don’t you think Russia
has its interests? Hopefully, the Ukrainians will
wake up—probably when the weather turns cold and the
Russians shut off the fuel—which has already happened
I believe.

I just don’t care about Russian on Russian domestic violence.

A few pathetic pieces of garbage who call others names for not being interested in their fight are unworthy of wasting much time on.

Who knew that Vlad Putin, Hero of the Soviet Union, Savior of Christianity, and Defender of All that is Righteous and Good could get jerked-around on a string so easily?

Surely this cannot be true.

If so, it would be reported.

Oh.... wait.

How can the Russian people believe that Putin invaded Ukraine when our genius pro-Putinistas say he hasn’t.

Yes, if Putin says, “Jump.” Then the Ukrainians must jump. They need to wake the hell up. Putin’s the man.

You sound like you’re having a little pity party now that your hero has been exposed as a bully again of his neighbors. Try to keep a strong upper chin. Things’ll get better. Your hero should be able to kill lots of Ukrainians using his great military power. And keep up the Machiavellian front.

Sanctions and more sanctions, economic ruin in Russia and dead Russian bodies piling up .... guerrilla war and ethnic cleansing.... World War! Iran will make it’s play soon.

Russia will end this—and end it quick. Ukraine will be forced to sign a new treaty with Putin—who will lead a victory parade in Moscow. Land for Peace—or we could call it a Piece Treaty—Russia gets a piece of Eastern Ukraine—The “Civil War” stops and maybe things will go back to normal—or what passes for normal in that part of the world. Maybe—when this is done with we can meet with Putin and work out a plan to rip the Islamic State to pieces. Glad to see the Russian Press talking about this—there is a bit of freedom left in Russia after all.
