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.

At the same time, the eastern city of Slavyansk is being raided by Ukrainian troops, the head of the Donbass people’s militia, Sergey Tsyplakov, told RIA Novosti.
“Currently there is a major attack on Slavyansk, armored personnel vehicles are entering the city… there are many troops. The men are getting ready to defend [the city],” he said.
In turn, the Ukrainian media, quoting the Ministry of Defense, announced a special operation in Kramatorsk on Tuesday. However, they provided no further details.

Are those fierce Kremlin special forces invading free and democratic Ukraine?
Nope. Salt of the Earth. You know, morons.
Seeing several tweets about Ukraininans claiming the 45th Spetznaz has arrived, or is arriving, in Slovyansk and Kramatorsk.
All unconfirmed, as of yet.
Thanks,
There’s some sick folks enjoying this. Somebody else brought up LaRouche yesterday and I think that suit fits.
That pic PROVES it. They are obviously crack Russian troops, not just Ukraine citizens of Russian heritage. /s
No, they’re paid provocateurs. Putinistas can sit tight. Putin will invade.
Russians who could go home to Russia.
I’ve come across members of our Borscht Brigade posting from LaRouche in the past. It’s tough to say whether they actually believe in it, or post it because it agrees with the Kremlin line, and they are simply unfamiliar with LaRouche.
“
Russians who could go home to Russia.”
They are home.
Do you also tell blacks to go back home to Africa?

Thanks! Good to have live updates from both sides.
The tweets are coming fast and furious, almost too fast to keep up.
“Helicopter gunned down in Slovyansk.”
“Rebels in Slovyansk restricting access thru some roadblocks around town.”
“Kramatorsk and Slovyansk are now without internet and cellular..”
I’m thinking, for some reason, of militantly Spanish speaking illegal aliens in the southwest USA. I’m thinking of the “barrio”. I’m thinking of terms like “reconquista”. I’m thinking we need to think a few steps ahead ... we need to play chess. Barry Benghazi is playing tiddly-winks.
I’m not sure why these things suddenly come to mind.
Any wounded or captured should be dragged out of the hospital hauled to Kiev and face some serious interogation and used for the UN presentation on the 17th.
If they’re black separatists, like the black panthers, yes. It’s totally reasonable. Obey the laws of your nation. Otherwise go home to the one you claim.
Bloomberg is reporting this claim by a Ukrainian government official.
