Russian army prepares for new attacks from Ukraine's Novoazovsk
Kyiv Post ^ | Feb. 24, 2015, 8:51 p.m. | Stefan Huijboom

"It is no secret that the Russian army is here. My wife runs a small shop and some men only wanted to pay in rubles. They are Russian! They have broken the silence that we once had!" Vladimir said, as his three chess partners agreed in unison.

"We'd like them to leave. It's not their country," he says. "I've lived most of my life in the Soviet Union. I consider myself Ukrainian, but I prefer to live in Russia, yes. You know why? Because my wife is from Russia. My two sons live in Russia. My entire family lives in Russia. Does this mean I support the war in Ukraine? No! The Russians should not fight in Ukraine. It's meaningless."

Just as he finishes his sentence, loud outgoing artillery fire is heard. "As an old man I'm glad I have some hearing problems," he jokes.

The once peaceful resort city is now a major military hub the Russian army and their separatist allies. At the moment, they appear to be preparing for another offensive on the Ukrainian-held port city of Mariupol, some 50 kilometers to the west, and its 500,000 residents.

“Because the Kiev post always has reporters miles behind the rebel lines???”

“Somebody uninformed could be easily Grubered by this kind of propaganda.”

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Klimkin, UAV reconnaissance aircraft, and a variety of reconnaissance satellites are watching Putin’s Russian Army tanks and artillery relocating from Debaltseve to the front before Mariupol.

So, you can dispense with your regurgitation of the Russian lies and disinformation. Go home and kneel before your Putin god.

Hey scumbag, you constantly quote from Russkie twitter feeds or Russian media which has long been proven to be entirely under the control of the KGB. Ukrainian sources have never been exposed as being under such control. Shut the hell up!

See:
“Stefan Huijboom is a freelance Dutch journalist.”

Also see:

Given the fact this Dutch journalist is well known to be reporting from the Russian occupied areas of Donetsk, your allegation the news story must be fictional because you claim no reporter from the Kyiv Post could have been in Novoazovsk to conduct an interview is obviously false and a blatant attempt at disseminating false propaganda to aid the illegal Russian aggressions against the Ukraine and Mariupol. His new story reporting a Russian concentration of tanks and troops in preparation for another reinforced Russian attack against the Ukrainian armed forces in Mariupol is reinforced by the many tweets coming out of that area also reporting a large buildup of Russian tanks and troops.

Obviously fictional story huh? Can you be specific? Considering you just wrote off Kyiv Post only because it is a Ukrainian source (even though you apparently consider Russian twitter feeds to be legitimate sources, as well as Kremlin controlled Russian TV which you regurgigate your crap from constantly), I have a suspicion that what you consider "fictional" about it is just that it mentions the fear of an imminent attack from Russian troops who are present in the country. Who else fears that, I wonder?

Cameron sending troops to help train Ukrainian forces and discussing fears of Russia taking Mariupol next:

http://www.kyivpost.com/content/kyiv-post-plus/uk-stuns-europe-by-sending-troops-to-ukraine-381775.html

NATO with satellite photographs of Russian forces surrounding (and later taking) key Ukrainian town not too far from Mariupole. U.S. ambassador to Ukraine emphasizes "Russian forces," not merely "separatists" who just happen to have all kinds of advanced weaponry:

http://uatoday.tv/news/us-releases-satellite-images-of-russian-military-forces-near-debaltseve-409327.html

Doesn't seem too much of a stretch to expect an attack on Mariupol by Russian forces next, considering creating a land-bridge to Crimea would save the Russkies a lot of time and money.

A normal Freeper doesn't constantly deny Russian aggression and involvement and then justify it when it finally happens. I beg the Mods to seriously analyze your posting history and note the obvious propagandish nature of it. Should Freepers have to deal with a full-on Putinista who is willing to excuse every crime the regime in Moscow commits, a Putinsita who constantly mocks his opponents, makes unsubstantiated claims, and calls everything "Kiev propaganda"?

So, again, I'm begging you Mods, check this guy out! I can't be the only one who sees the problem here.

I really feel sorry for you. You seem to live in a paranoid world of self-delusion.

David Cameron from my first link, previous post:

“What we are seeing is Russian-backed aggression, often these are Russian troops, they are Russian tanks, they are Russian Grad missiles. As I said the other day, you can’t buy these things on eBay, they are coming from Russia, people shouldn’t be in any doubt about that,” he said.

“People will be looking at Mariupol as the next potential flashpoint, and if that were to happen, I think the argument for further action would be overwhelming. I think that would be the view of countries like Poland, the Baltic states and many others.”

“I think what we should be putting into place is a sense that if there is another Debaltseve then that will trigger a round of sanctions that will be materially different to what we have seen so far.”

Obviously fictional reporting huh?

You always show up in these threads trying to muddy the waters and push your Russian propaganda. I don’t think you are even reading the articles as just recently you were calling an opinion article by a retired US Army General Ukrainian lies and propaganda just because it was republished in Ukrainian magazine.

You may also want to look at the other postings on the Internet where a person identified as tcrlaf is posting on computer wargaming websites and uploading photographs to a Russian hard core pornography website.

we KNOW everything from Russia is propaganda, direct from the Kremlin. I have no doubt the Ukraine media is magnitudes more free.
