The situation in eastern Ukraine was described as a catastrophic, full-blown war by Russia's UN envoy, Vitaly Churkin, during the latest UN Security Council meeting. Russia has also called for an international humanitarian mission to be launched.

Fighting between Kiev’s army and self-defense forces [is that what they are, now?] intensified on Tuesday, with the Ukrainian military using heavy weaponry around Donetsk in eastern Ukraine. According to witnesses, the Ukrainian army resorted to multiple rocket launchers, including Uragan launchers and cruise missiles, RIA Novosti reported citing local militia.

Cruise missiles were spotted flying over the city of Gorlovka on Tuesday, while Uragan launchers were seen near the town of Snezhniy, witnesses told the news agency. Explosions reportedly caused by airstrikes were also heard within the city of Donetsk.

Amid the increased violence, Russia called for an emergency UN Security Council session on the humanitarian situation in Ukraine on Tuesday.

Russia’s UN envoy proposed the deployment of an international humanitarian mission, along with Russian humanitarian aid under the auspices of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).

“We propose to send convoys of Russian humanitarian aid under the auspices of the ICRC, to Donetsk and Lugansk, as well as other towns in Ukraine, where internally displaced persons are concentrated in the eastern regions,” Churkin said.

How much humanitarian aid can a T-72 carry?

Thank you for your post: genius. BTW, the Ukraine people were kidnapped & locals were not allowed to leave! That is why population is concentrated!

“the Ukraine people were kidnapped & locals were not allowed to leave! That is why population is concentrated!”

Funny...
The UN said just yesterday there were almost 1 million internally displaced people now in Ukraine.

With Kiev shelling civilian areas in so many towns this week, that number is sure to grow,

Dream on,, those areas are anti putsch by a huge margin. Always have been in every election. And now that Kiev has pounded their cities with bombs and arty,, even more so.

Correction: those areas were "anti-putsch" by some margin. Once the thugs arrived, and started stealing their food and their cars, things changed.

There's a pretty good line that could have been drawn between the red and blue states.

Maybe it still will be.

Ukraine’s Donetsk becomes ghost town http://www.foxnews.com/world/2014/08/07/battle-for-ghost-town-ukraines-donetsk-empties-as-national-forces-shell/?intcmp=latestnews

I know you are aware that the united ministry in Donetsk has been relocating refugees out of harms way for weeks! It is well documented that locals are displaced because they must get away from the terrorist separatist that rape & rob. And, yes you KNOW that separatists have kidnapped & impressed locals into service.
