(BING TRANSLATION)Ukrainian special forces in a brutal battle, defeated a large group of terrorists, who attempted to breakout from a surrounded our combatant Slavyansk.
According to sources "Censor." at the headquarters of the ATO, several hundred thugs attacked positions of our pieces, and were thrown back with heavy losses podospevšimi on reserves.
The fight captured significant quantities of sophisticated weapons in Russia, the RUSSIAN GRU spetsnaz. Place the battle left for us at the moment is trimming the battle died down, literally 30 minutes ago.
The decisive role played by INTERIOR MINISTRY special forces detachments "Omega" and "Jaguar", AS special forces detachment alpha.
Unfortunately, in a heavyweight bout our troops have suffered heavy losses. 4 Ukrainian soldier killed, 1 in critical condition. About 20 soldiers were injured, it helped, they were evacuated by helicopters to nearby hospitals.
Eternal memory to the fallen in the battle for freedom and independence of our homeland.
The paid Russian trolls will be along in a moment to Putinize the comments.
The Fenian scum were terrorists. They went around shooting British government officials in the back and almost took out Maggie Thatcher in a bomb attack. When the Brits retaliated in kind against lower ranking IRA terrorists by shooting them on sight, the squeals of horror from these Russian-supplied stone killers had to be heard to be believed. If the Brits had persisted instead of backing off, they would have liquidated the IRA a long time ago.
New York Times Reporter Chivers was able to drive from Kramatorsk to Slovyansk this morning, after Rebels apparently recaptured the road.
ATTENTION WORLD:
CNN has finally arrived in Slovyansk, and are doing live shots. (How many weeks has this been going on?)
It can be officially called a “Civil War” now, I guess.
CNN reporting that several civilians were killed/injured this morning.
What do you think of the Russians allegedly importing more foreign nationals?
That will go over with the locals. Apparently the Russians find enough local villagers and bus station drunks to fight for the glory of the Donetsk Republic.
As I noted earlier this morning, The U.S. State Department is now PAYING for Pro-Kiev propaganda in Ukraine, under the guise of “Helping Journalists”.
There is disinformation from Kiev, from DC, and from Moscow.
The best you can do is compare ALL sources to the pics and video widely available, and make your own determination.
Chechens? Is that all you got? The Ukrainians aren’t going anywhere, FRiend.
“Apparently the Russians find enough local villagers and bus station drunks to fight for the glory of the Donetsk Republic.”
Several tweets this morning about a group of “Veterans of the Chechnya War” showing up last night in Slovyansk. Likely they are Russian volunteers. Slovansk is sitting on top of a huge Soviet-era Arsenal, so arming them shouldn’t be a problem.
The Odessa Massacre has upset the Russians, so crossing the border to volunteer wouldn’t be all that surprising.

All these many weeks I have seen ZERO posts from you complaining about the Russian govermennt PAYING foreign nationals to conduct illegal warfare in Ukraine
You can’t discern the difference between transnational unlawful irregular warfare and a US govt PR program?
I’m sorry, I don’t mean to be rude, but there is no hope for you if you can’t see the difference there. One thing is important and one isn’t. It shouldn’t be a difficult issue to process. Bye
no sarcasm!!
The ones that want to go with the EU need to be destroyed!
The EU itself needs to be destroyed!
Am picking up may be moving fighters out of Syria to Ukraine as well as Chechnians, who have been coming into Ukraine already.. Neighbor states sending people to support anti-Kiev people.
What a mess this is...
I’m sorry YOU don’t understand.
I can see Kiev organizing propaganda (Exactly WHO is EuromaidanPR, by the way), I can even see the Russians doing it, it is on their border, with their own kinsmen involved.
But Why is the U.S. State Department doing it with our own tax dollars??
So? You seem to be under the delusion that 1,000,000 people is a lot, when in reality it wouldn't take that many soldiers to invade an area of that population.
The Local Commander in Slovyansk is apparently a well-known Chechnya and Afghanistan Vet, and former Spetnaz Officer.
Given the situation, it wouldn’t be surprising if former vets came to support him. It is just a days drive for many, if they can get across the border, and it’s pretty much wide open.
THIS is what the pro-Kiev crowd should really be afraid of. A standard for the Pro-Russians to rally to. After Odessa, there are a LOT of p****d off Russians.
The Ukrainian government needs to get people loyal to the Ukrainian state organized. In the typical revolution, only several % of the population are active participants, based mainly on organization, motivation and some kind of funding source, so the participants can feed their families. If that several % are secessionists funded by Putin who see Ukraine as a Russian province, it will be that much harder for the Ukrainian government to take control. Putin has agents on the ground. An organized anti-secessionist campaign that gets hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians enrolled in the east and south will deter Putin from invading. Because if he sees that Ukrainians are fired up about keeping the country whole, he will probably calculate that any initial conventional victories will be followed by a steady drip of casualties, just like Iraq, that will cost Russia large sums of money and tens of thousands of dead, not to mention overshadow his reputation as a president who revived the Russian economy (mainly because he was president during a 20-year Chinese economic boom during which Chinese motor vehicle sales went from 2m to 20m a year).
The Russians are upset the Ukrainians defended themselves in Odesa. Too bad they didn’t just take the beat down like in Donetsk. Right? Now the Russians won’t be able to butcher them at their leisure as they have many times over history.
You act like this foreign national thing is a one way street. So what happens when war tourists arrive and start killing Russians?
It really doesn’t matter what you, I or the US DOS thinks. This is about the Ukrainians. They ain’t going anywhere. Millions of them. It’s becoming clear all Russia can do is create Chaos in Ukraine. To what end?
The Ukrainian government needs to get people loyal to the Ukrainian state organized.
Our FRiend Ivan can confirm but I believe the plan is to get rid of the useless Berkut and replace them with newly created regional self defense battalions. It’s just total chaos without a police force. Society breaks down.
The neighboring nations support Kiev. Even at their football games. You saw in that one video they wore yellow & Blue & heard them chanting Puti is a dou*** bag.
No, Russia is NOT supported by the ex-Russian occupied republics. For the Ukrainian speakers this video was just released https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpmkNUXDzzE#t=94
By the way, there is NO PROOF that the Pro-Ukraine crowd set fire in Odessa. Photos show they actually rescued these pro-separatist that had SHOT AT THEM!!!!
Check out yesterday post & photos. Actually, fires appeared before windows were broken, placement and appearance of bodies leave many questions previously dead? Fire set by pro-separatists to destroy evidence?
Russia WANTS to disrupt elections.
If this goes much further, it’ll be the most unnecessary war in recent history.
Terrorists are apparently admitting 20 KIA. UKR got some good intel from locals. That is critical.
