Ukrainian troops are storming an airfield in the eastern city of Kramatorsk, said anti-Maidan activists as cited by RIA Novosti. The activists added that several people were injured.
Ukrainian troops approached the military airfield in armored personnel carriers between the eastern cities of Kramatorsk and Slavyansk, the people’s militia located at the airfield told RIA Novosti on the phone.
“They started negotiating with the people’s militia, which is in control of the airfield. The shooting started unexpectedly. There are injured among the people’s militia, and there may be deaths,” they said.
Other members of the militia have blocked the entrance to Kramatorsk and are ready to defend the city, the activists added.

See what I mean? The homo-thing was not an issue.
Looks like Obama’s tough talk yesterday worked well.
We have a complete amateur in the White House. God help us all.
I didn’t post a map, but it’s from “the Interpreter”.
They have been running a pretty conclusive Live Blog since this began, but they are getting slammed right now.
Drop the Indian crap, they weren’t here first, they immigrated like everyone else.
I have lots of Indian buddies who believe in freedom as much as I do, and they don’t get hooked up on the past, they live in the now.
I am confused here. Are the rebels bad here? Putin is messing where he has no business, but that has never stopped a communist before. I’ve been too busy lately with family issues to have kept up with it.
Oh, were you with Akran’s Tigers? Did you serve at Srebrenica?
2PPCLI, and I’ve been all over that country.
These rebels may have grievances but they’re being used by Putin to extend his personal empire. He’s an evil man, but some people here love him because they think his anti-gay policy is sincere and Christ like.
Ok, so the rebels are the bad guys, got it. Yes Putin has a special place in hell reserved for him. thanks
What’s that saying, “The first casualty of War is Truth”?
I guess you never heard of Operation Storm.
This is a video of rebels, civilians that are confronting Ukrainian newly-formed “National Guard”, that was formed by new Kiev regime out of anti-Russian and neonazi volunteers .

As you may see, civilians are very angry and soldiers are ready to shoot at their own citizens.
Are you really comparing blacks, who were brought in chains to America, to Russians, who invaded and imposed their will on Ukraine? And murdered millions of Ukrainians?
:)
True. Unfortunately, in this case the truth was out of the windows long before the actual shooting began.
LOL ! Hopefully soon we will have a party like in 99 ;)
Nuts.
I had hoped for cooler heads to prevail.
At the time, the Russians were also conquering huge swathes of territory from the natives, including the Caucasus, Central Asia and Siberia. This is about Russian imperialists conquering land in the here and now. The equivalent would be the US invading and annexing Mexico, Cuba, the Dominican Republic and the Philippines today. Russia is already almost twice as large as the next largest country on Earth.
