NATO’s supreme commander says cease-fire now exists in “name only”
Russian officials announced on Wednesday plans to send a seventh convoy across the border into Ukraine’s war-torn Donbas region, amid widespread accusations that the Kremlin is sending arms to separatist forces instead of aid to civilians.
The announcement follows reports from the Organization for Security and Cooperation (OSCE) that 43 unmarked green military trucks were spotted heading toward the rebel stronghold of Donetsk on Tuesday.
“Five of the trucks were each towing 120mm howitzer artillery pieces. Another five were each towing partly-covered multi-launch rocket systems,” read a statement released by the OSCE.
Moscow has repeatedly denied giving military assistance to rebels and says its convoys are humanitarian.

Obama’s “flexibility” in full swing.
Don’t interfere with his domestic agenda! Unless you are a Russian, of course, and think that he is a foreign policy mastermind, with Victoria Nuland calling the shots . . . .
quote ‘’he is a foreign policy mastermind,’’
Well yes for what his policy is, which is to help
russia, while seeming not to be.
His real agenda is about like putlers, they both,
figure the communists had good ideas, but did it wrong,
and they can do it better, as behind the scenes partners...
I don’t know what to think about this any more. The only thing I think for sure is that Ukraine is toast no matter what. Everyone wants to use them and they themselves are divided more by corruption, passion and resentments than by clear thinking.
Had the U.S. built a better relationship with Russia during the years of opportunity it might be different today. I’m thinking it is pretty much too late.
I reserve the right to change my mind on this tomorrow. The one thing you can always count on in situations like this is that everyone is lying to some degree. The trick is to find both the truth and a resolution to the conflict. Sometimes that means you have to address the fiction people have created for themselves. Dangerous game.
What a face on Bath House at the meetings with world leaders in China:
- Putin formally invades Ukraine
- Putin signs on to build 8 nuclear reactors for Iran
- China test flies its stealth fighter.
Bath House, you are a naive, girly cream puff wearing a “kick me” sign on your backside.
I'm sure they were looted from a Ukrainian stockpile.
Let ‘em!
~towing partly-covered multi-launch rocket systems~
I’d like to learn the type of this towed MLRS.
I believe the Germans had something like that during WWII, and Yugoslavs in the earlier 1960s but none like that in Russian inventory.
I might be wrong, of course. Maybe you’ll tell me, rude?
Because no one would ever think of placing a MLRS on a flatbed, right comrade?
Looted from Ukraine, taken to Russia, and brought back from Russia to Ukraine? As “humanitarian” aid, perhaps? Maybe the Russians were just being nice.

Isn’t ‘towed’ means it is attached to the truck from the back and pulled?
It is ‘self-propelled’ while on flatbed.
