Military Says It Took Back a Town Even as Some Troops Crossed Border With Russia
KIEV—Ukrainian forces were seeing mixed results in their battle against pro-Russian separatists in the east of the country on Monday, reporting they had moved closer to cutting off the separatist stronghold of Donetsk even as several hundred Ukrainian troops surrendered overnight across the Russian border.
Military spokesman Col. Andriy Lysenko told reporters in Kiev that Ukrainian forces had retaken Yasinuvata, a small city on the northern outskirts of Donetsk, closing off what he said was an important supply route for the separatists. A Twitter feed used by the separatists later denied the city had fallen, without elaborating.
While Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council released a battlefield map Monday showing Donetsk cut off from the rest of the separatist-held territory and the Russian border, Col. Lysenko told reporters that the city hadn't yet been completely isolated.
The government is calling on residents of rebel-held territory to leave their homes as the fighting intensifies and is providing humanitarian corridors for residents of Donetsk, Luhansk and Horlivka to flee safely to Ukrainian-held territory. City officials in Luhansk reported Monday that electricity, water and phone service had been cut off by fighting. Services in Donetsk remain operational, officials said, though shelling could be heard outside the city through the night.
Kiev's forces have made steady gains in recent days against separatist forces in the areas around Luhansk and Donetsk, but have sought to avoid a direct confrontation in those rebel stronghold cities. Defense Minister Valeriy Heletei, in an interview with the BBC's Ukrainian service aired Monday, said he was confident Kiev's forces would prevail but that retaking them would be difficult.

Dude, you’re weird. Your love for Putin is reaching new levels.
Now Putin’s cabin boys are posting their “erotica” on FR.
They are. They’re like those guys in prison who fall in love with a bully.
Wait, I thought I was Boris, you were Ivan, and mac_truck and McGruff were both named Vlad ??!!.
Think maybe this is an act by people entertaining themselves by being absurd? I mean, come on, second grade name calling, chew up the Pravy BS, regurgitate, repeat . . . ?
How’re things in Moscow tonight, Putin?
Except Putin is helping the mad mullahs with their nuclear program.
lol...
Your problem is that I UNDERSTAND why you focus on Putin, and controlling the language of this event so much.
Pure propaganda for those not paying attention. I bet you had a blast mocking Sarah Palin, too.
You lose.
“You lose.”
You’re right, I’m losing because I’m just laughing too damn hard at you.
I’m right that you lose because you’re laughing too hard at me? What does that indicate? You agree that I’m right and then you say that you’re losing because you’re laughing at me. Well, I guess I can see why you’ve the type of mind that’s fond of Putin. If you think I’m funny because you think you’re losing, you must want to really please Putin.
My point was you can respect Putin as an opponent without being a PUTINISTA. Bush did.
They won’t be happy until their hero kills lots of Ukrainians. Then, they’ll have some other fatuous claptrap for their pro-Putin propaganda.
Putin had to behave when Bush was president. That’s the difference, Boris.
Your continuous strawmen have become hilarious, as well as rather pathetic, as events continue beyond what you can spin. You name-call and obsfuscate, but present nothing of substance.
I’ve seen 8 yr-olds present more coherent arguments, (and more thoughtful insulting) than you do.
“Putin had to behave when Bush was president. That’s the difference, Boris.”
Lol...
I’m sure you don’t realize it, yet, but you just agreed with my primary talking point.
(PS-Bush would NEVER have backed THE NAZI’s in some childish attempt to get back at Putin for embarrassing him over Syria, either)

quotation marks simply added for emphasis
I don’t know why you are trying so hard to attempt to ridicule those calling you out and pretend they must be on drugs etc... You are a member of a tiny fringe in America. Putin worshiper core comes from these groups
* Commies
* Conspiracy theory enthusiasts
* Children of Serb and Russian immigrants unable to find their place and thus rejecting the whole society
Adding all these together it is still a tiny minority laughed at by pretty much everyone else. People don’t have to be on drugs to call you out on your BS.
You forgot Ron Paul supporters. Blame America first, and all that . . . .
