All the high profile Russian nationals are gone now. Putin has cleared out the personalities to try to give a more low key local flavor to his astroturfed “civil war”.

If you have the time, a prayer or two for the Ukrainian people would be appropriate, also.

Hopefully Goehring’s Ukrainian-NATO boys will experience a short and not so painful demise.

The trucks will go through unless Poroshenko stops them..doesn’t look like he’s going to at this point.

Also i think that this is all going to wind down or they wouldn’t be bringing the trucks at this time....looks like the leadership is standing down.....though understandable they’d protect the route for the trucks to get thru.

We’ve mentioned prior that for this to even been considered the International leaderships already determined this would soon be a done deal. ...and then the mop up from all the destruction.

I don’t think it’s going to end the political wars in Kiev unless they’ve settled with the Oligarchs.

I don’t think Putin cleared them out . . . it appears to me that they are leaving while they still can. Imagine what your typical Russian mafia member would do.

At least he got to steal some jewelry off of dead Dutch plane passengers.

So his service to queen Putin wasn't a total waste of time.

Of course...you probably don’t know that either. Most Ukrainian citizens are ethnic Russian or support the Russian position. AS for the rest...they pray for NATO bombs. Or perhaps some ISIL goons...

Which ones, the ones that are doing the killing or the ones that are being killed?

Of course they are . . . that's why they ousted their pro-Russian president in the first place. Seriously, try to be consistent.

Baby steps, McG . . . think of the ones who’ve had their cars stolen, property taken, and relatives murdered by a bunch of mafia goons just because Putin decided to do his own version of the Mariel boatlift.

As always you sound desperate...elections are not legitimate when most people don’t vote...kind of like here in the US.

Oh that was well worth the watch! Lyashko is one guy who has no business being in a Government position. Somebody is going to do more than clean his clock eventually.....once his usefulness as a killing machine is done.

“The trucks will go through unless Poroshenko stops them.doesn’t look like he’s going to at this point.”

Kiev troops have been reported to be pushing out of Lugansk airport, to cut the road at a town called Novosvetlovka.

Tweets from about 6 hrs ago say that the attack was beaten back, but UK troops continue to shell Perevalsk and Volnukhino from the airport.

UK’s are trying to keep the road under fire, to try and stop the aid convoy.

Desperate? My allies are not fleeing because they're losing. And when they get back to your flat in Moscow, you can ask them why they prevented people from voting. The answer is obvious, to most everyone.

Lyashko’s Oskar Dirlewanger fantasy has killed a lot of innocent people.
