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.

I’m sure Ukrainians are not taking this lying down.

“There is not a single black in America that was “brought in chains”. The last one died generations ago.

Further, the vast majority of current blacks in the US are descended from immigrants who willingly came to this country.”

And actually the blacks in America today are all WAY BETTER OFF than if they had been left in Africa. They would still be in the Stone Age there now, or under corrupt dictators, at BEST.

Putin has enough RUBs for 1,000 lives so to fight boredom, he started a game of Risk.

...until the Ukrainian president became heavy-handed about it. Then violence happened on both sides. A hundred or so protestors were killed. The Ukrainians didn't back down, and the president was impeached and fled the country.

I think you have the right of it except the heavy hand was initially Russian snipers taking head shots at protesters. Of course the Ukrainian president took the fall but may or may not have known about the false flag.

“Do you really believe that the armed military attired people occupying the government buildings are citizens of the Ukraine?”

You mean, like the Right_Sector did in Kiev? I’ll bet you think they aren’t citizens of Ukraine, either?

They called themselves separatists, though I agree with you that they were also racists.

Oh yeah, I remember. You elected to receive. By the way, how’s Milosovic doing? He lost three wars and then a country he’d controlled like Putin, right?

Russian stocks are crashing. Probably investors with inside info getting out because something big is about to happen. A no fly zone and an air war would be the next obvious escalation point from Team KGB.

Brings to mind a once upon a time dream of long ago. In the dream one was several hundred miles above Earth and then there was a spark and the spark became a fire and it consumed the Earth. May this not be that spark.

There will be those on this board who say the aircraft guarding the Eastern Ukrainian sky belong pro=Russian Ukrainian protesters.

There are people on the site who think the whole country of Ukraine should belong to Putin. Anyone who disagrees is either a fag or in the pay of Soros; they say. They’re serious.

The article to which you refer does not support your original statement. If you can find it in there, please lead me to that fact.

Thanks for the explanation. It had me totally confused, as I had been out of the loop and couldn’t figure it all out.
